Synthesis and Structure/Antioxidant Activity Relationship of Novel Catecholic Antioxidant Structural Analogues to Hydroxytyrosol and Its Lipophilic Esters
摘要:
A large panel of novel catecholic antioxidants and their fatty acid or methyl carbonate esters has been synthesized in satisfactory to good yields through a 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX)-mediated aromatic hydroxylation as the key step. The new catechols are structural analogues of naturally occurring hydroxytyrosol (3,4-DHE). To evaluate structure/activity relationships, the antioxidant properties of all catecholic compounds were evaluated in vitro by ABTS assay and on whole cells by DCF fluorometric assay and compared with that of the corresponding already known hydroxytyrosyl derivatives. Results outline that all of the new catechols show antioxidant capacity in vitro higher than that of the corresponding hydroxytyrosyl derivatives. Less evident positive effects have been detected in whole cells experiments. Cytotoxicity experiments, using MTT assay, on a representative set of compounds evidenced no influence in cell survival.
An extension of the cycloSal-pronucleotide approach is presented. Attachment of an enzyme-cleavable ester/acylal group to the cycloSal-d4TMP triesters should allow these compounds to be trapped intracellularly after cleavage. The ester/acylal groups were introduced in the 3- or 5-position of the cycloSal ring system, and surprising differences were observed in hydrolysis studies in CEM cell extracts

A new and efficient method for the selective acylation of aliphatic hydroxyl groups in the presence of phenolic groups using a mixture of trimethyl orthoacetate and trimethylsilyl chloride at room temperature is reported. The reactions are selective, high yielding and complete within 3–6 h.
