To potentially identify proteins that interact (i.e. bind) and may contribute to mediate (?)-epicatechin (Epi) responses in endothelial cells we implemented the following strategy: 1) synthesis of novel Epi derivatives amenable to affinity column use, 2)

We report the design and synthesis of triazole-polyphenol hybrid compounds 1 and 2 as inhibitors of the FabG4 (Rv0242c) enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for the first time. A major advance in this field occurred only a couple of years ago with the X-ray crystal structure of FabG4, which has helped us to design these inhibitors by the computational fragment-based drug design (FBDD) approach. Compound 1 has shown competitive inhibition with an inhibition constant (Ki) value of 3.97 ± 0.02 μM. On the other hand, compound 2 has been found to be a mixed type inhibitor with a Ki value of 0.88 ± 0.01 μM. Thermodynamic analysis using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) reveals that both inhibitors bind at the NADH co-factor binding domain. Their MIC values, as determined by resazurin assay against M. smegmatis, indicated their good anti-mycobacterial properties. A preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) study supports the design of these inhibitors. These compounds may be possible candidates as lead compounds for alternate anti-tubercular drugs. All of the reductase enzymes of the Mycobacterium family have a similar ketoacyl reductase (KAR) domain. Hence, this work may be extrapolated to find structure-based inhibitors of other reductase enzymes. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the major flavonoid of green tea and has been widely explored for a range of biological activities including anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and neuroprotection. Existing structure-activity data for EGCG has been largely limited to exploration of simple ethers and hydroxyl deletion. EGCG has poor drug-like properties because of multiple phenolic hydroxyl moieties and a metabolically labile ester. This work reports a substantial expansion of structure-activity understanding by exploring a range of semi-synthetic and synthetic derivatives with ester replacements and variously substituted aromatic and alicyclic groups containing more drug-like substituents. Structure-activity relationships for these molecules were obtained for Hsp90 inhibition. The results indicate that amide and sulfonamide linkers are suitable ester replacements. Hydroxylated aromatic rings and the cis-stereochemistry in EGCG are not essential for Hsp90 inhibition. Selected analogs in this series are more potent than EGCG in a luciferase refolding assay for Hsp90 activity.

The present invention provides synthetic processes for preparing racemic and/or optically pure epicatechin, epigallocatechin and related polyphenols as such or as their variously functionalized derivatives. A principle objective of the disclosure is to provide a new and useful method of synthesis to obtain polyphenols in isomerically pure and/or racemic forms.

Novel tea catechin derivatives have been synthesized, and a structure-activity study, related to the capacity of these and other polyphenols to bind dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), has been performed. The data showed an effective binding between all molecules and the free enzyme, and the dissociation constants of the synthetic compounds and of the natural analogues were on the same order. Polyphenols with a catechin configuration were better DHFR inhibitors than those with an epicatechin configuration. Antiproliferative activity was also studied in cultured tumour cells, and the data showed that the activity of the novel derivatives was higher in catechin isomers. Derivatives with a hydroxyl group para on the ester-bonded gallate moiety presented a high in vitro binding to DHFR, but exhibited transport problems in cell culture due to ionization at physiologic pHs. The impact of the binding of catechins to serum albumin on their biological activity was also evaluated. The information provided in this study could be important for the design of novel medicinal active compounds derived from tea catechins. The data suggest that changes in their structure to avoid serum albumin interactions and to facilitate plasmatic membrane transport are essential for the intracellular functions of catechins.

Concise synthesis of (-)-epicatechin and its 3-O-gallate is described, illustrating efficacy of the new strategy for catechin-class polyphenols based on assembly of lithiated fluorobenzene and epoxy alcohol followed by a pyran cyclization. 1,3,5-Trifluorobenzene serves as the A-ring equivalent for functionalization and the pyran annulation.
