Huang,Li,Hou,Li,Li
, p. 1383 - 1392 (1999)
The title compounds , 4'-O-geranylisoliquiritigenin and 4'-O- geranylnaringenin isolated from Millettia ferruginea and Borania coerulescens respectively, were first synthesized starting from geranyl bromide , 4- hydroxybenzaldehyde and O-hydroxy acetophen
Highly efficient and selective deprotection method for prenyl, geranyl, and phytyl ethers and esters using borontrifluoride-etherate

, p. 26 - 33 (2012/10/30)
An efficient, simple, and practical method has been developed for the deprotection of prenyl, geranyl, and phytyl ethers and esters of aromatic and aliphatic compounds using borontrifluoride-etherate (BF3· OEt2) at room temperature in good to excellent yields for the first time.

A series of 25 selected oxyprenylated natural phenylpropanoids were synthesized, and their growth inhibitory activities were evaluated in vitro together with 14 other commercially available non-alkylated compounds belonging to the same chemical series. The compounds were tested on six human cancer cell lines using MTT colorimetric assays. The data reveal that of the six chemical groups (G) studied, coumarins (G1), cinnamic and benzoic acids (G2), chalcones (G3), acetophenones (G4), anthraquinones (G5), and cinnamaldehydes and cinnamyl alcohols (G6), G2-related compounds displayed the weakest growth inhibitory activities in vitro, whereas G5-related compounds displayed the highest activities. Quantitative videomicroscopy analyses were then carried out on human U373 glioblastoma cells, which are characterized by various levels of resistance to different pro-apoptotic stimuli. These analyses revealed that compounds 20 (4,2′,4′-trihydroxychalcone), and 30 and 31 (two cinnamaldehydes) were cytostatic and able to overcome the intrinsic resistance of U373 cancer cells to pro-apoptotic stimuli.

supporting information; experimental part, p. 5419 - 5422 (2010/06/19)
In this study, we synthesized some natural and semi-synthetic prenyloxyphenylpropanoids (e.g., acetophenones, benzoic and cinnamic acids, chalcones, and coumarins), and we assessed their in vivo neuroprotective activity, using the mouse maximal electrosho
