Synthesis and biological evaluation of allylated and prenylated mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin as anti-inflammatory agents
摘要:
Curcumin has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory activities but has been limited for its low stability and poor bioavailability. We have previously reported four series of 5-carbon linker-containing mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin (MACs). In continuation of our ongoing research, we designed and synthesized 33 novel allylated or prenylated MACs here, and evaluated their anti-inflammatory effects in RAW 264.7 macrophages. A majority of them effectively inhibited the LPS-induced expression of TNF-alpha and IL-6, especially IL-6. The preliminary SAR and quantitative SAR analysis were conducted. Compound 14q is the most potent analog among them, and exhibits significant protection against LPS-induced death in septic mice. Together, these data present a series of new analogs of curcumin as promising anti-inflammatory agents. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as an additive promotes intramolecular radical cascade cyclization to afford cyclopropanated furans. Molecular dioxygen in the air serves as a redoxcatalyst in this reaction which is proposed to proceed through a radical cation intermediate generated by single‐electron transfer (SET) from a phototransient dienone to oxygen. By changing the solvent from isopropanol to HFIP
