Total synthesis of calebin-A, preparation of its analogues, and their neuronal cell protectivity against β-amyloid insult
摘要:
A total synthesis of Calebin-A (1), a novel curcuminoid isolated from turmeric (Curcuma longa, Zingiberaceae) that has been demonstrated to protect neuronal cells from beta -amyloid insult, was successfully achieved in four steps. Elaborating on this synthetic route. 13 analogues were prepared for a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. It was found that the parent compound 1 and derivatives 21, 28, and 30 protect PC12 rat pheocromocytoma and IMR-32 human neuroblastoma cells from beta -amyloid(25-35) insult. These results suggest that hydroxy group at para-position is most critical for the expression of biological activity. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Disclosed are combinations of natural and synthetic turmeric, ginger, ginko biloba, sage, and rosemary compounds suitable for treatment of beta-amyloid-disease induced disease that have synergistic anti-βA peptide effects when members of the five groups of compounds are combined. Suitable members of the compounds include both natural compounds derived from extracts of each of
Curcuma
sp.,
Zingiber
sp.,
Ginkgo biloba, Salvia
sp., or
Rosmarinus
sp. as well as synthetic homologues and analogues of such natural compounds. Sage and rosemary derived compounds suitable alone for treatment of beta-amyloid induced disease is also described.
