Preparation of C-23 esterified silybin derivatives and evaluation of their lipid peroxidation inhibitory and DNA protective properties.
A diverse series of C-23 esterified silybin derivatives (1a-n) were designed and synthesized. The antioxidative properties of these compounds were evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide anion radical scavenging, ferrous ion chelation, and inhibition of rat liver homogenate lipid peroxidation. Their protective effects on the prevention of hydrogen peroxide induced DNA damage were also investigated. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited more effective antioxidant activities than silybin. The esterified silybin analogues displayed satisfactory performance especially on iron chelation and antiperoxidative activity. Compound 1n in particular exhibited remarkable a…
Design, synthesis, and SAR analysis of cytotoxic sinapyl alcohol derivatives.
Five series totalling 51 of sinapyl alcohol derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their cytotoxicity analyses were performed oil six human tumor cell lines Such as PC-3. CNE, KB, A549, BEL-7404, and HeLa. Certain sinapyl alcohol derivatives showed significant cytotoxic activities. Compound 14d exhibited especially potent cytotoxicity against the BEL-7404 cell line with an IC50 value of 0.7 mu M, which showed more cytotoxic activity than the positive control, cisplatin. The structure-cytotoxicity relationships were discussed and the CoMFA analysis was performed using the cytotoxic data against HeLa cells as a template. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Preparation of two sets of 5,6,7-trioxygenated dihydroflavonol derivatives as free radical scavengers and neuronal cell protectors to oxidative damage.
An unusual class of 5,6,7-trioxygenated dihydroflavonols (3a-e and 4a-j) were designed and prepared. Their antioxidative properties were assessed by examining their capacities in several in vitro models, including superoxide anion and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, rat liver homogenate lipid peroxidation inhibition, PC12 cells protection from oxidative damage, and xanthine oxidase inhibition. These dihydroflavonols displayed positive quenching abilities towards O(2)(-) and DPPH free radicals, in which the majority exhibited superior antioxidant properties to Vitamin C. cis-Configurated compound (+/-)-3e demonstrated remarkable inhibition to LPO with an IC(50) value…
