Biomimetic Synthesis of Polycyclic Polyprenylated Acylphloroglucinol Natural Products Isolated from Hypericum papuanum
摘要:
Biomimetic syntheses of three polycylic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol natural products isolated from Hypericum papuanum, ialibinone A, ialibinone B, and hyperguinone B, have been accomplished by selective oxidative cyclizations of the proposed biosynthetic precursor 5, which was synthesized from phloroglucinol in three steps.
The synthesis and anticancer effects of a range of natural and unnatural hop β-acids on breast cancer cells
摘要:
The beta-acids derived from hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are polyphenols classified as lupulones. As part of our on-going interest in the pharmacognosy of these natural products we were keen to investigate the anticancer activity of lupulone 1 as well as individual lupulone congeners. To achieve this we undertook the synthesis of natural as well as unnatural lupulone derivatives and evaluated them for their anticancer activity against the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.The results of our investigations revealed that all of the novel unnatural lupulone derivatives that were synthesised were found to be more toxic to MDA-MB-231 cell lines at 72 h than the parent lupulone 1 itself (except for the alpha-substituent R-1 was CH3). Further investigations confirmed that the novel lupulone derivatives were very efficient at killing cancer cells by apoptosis but appear to do so in a time-dependant process. This outcome may be of great significance as MDA-MB-231 cell lines are characterised by an aggressive phenotype with a propensity to invade other tissue, to form metastases as well as an ability to become insensitive to chemotherapeutic agents.

The present invention includes compounds and compositions known to modify the perception of bitter taste, and combinations of said compositions and compounds with additional compositions, compounds, and products. Exemplary compositions comprise one or more of the following: cooling agents; inactive drug ingredients; active pharmaceutical ingredients; food additives or foodstuffs; flavorants, or flavor enhancers; food or beverage products; bitter compounds; sweeteners; bitterants; sour flavorants; salty flavorants; umami flavorants; plant or animal products; compounds known to be used in pet care products; compounds known to be used in personal care products; compounds known to be used in home products; pharmaceutical preparations; topical preparations; cannabis-derived or cannabis-related products; compounds known to be used in oral care products; beverages; scents, perfumes, or odorants; compounds known to be used in consumer products; silicone compounds; abrasives; surfactants; warming agents; smoking articles; fats, oils, or emulsions; and/or probiotic bacteria or supplements.
Provided herein is technology relating to antimicrobial compounds and particularly, but not exclusively, to analogs of rifalazil having increased inhibition of RNA polymerase and decreased induction of human cy-tochrome P450. The compounds have an increased affinity for a bacterial RNA polymerase (e.g., a MTB RNA polymerase) and a decreased affinity for a human pregnane X receptor. Thus, in some embodiments, the steric clash of A or R with residues in the binding pocket of the human pregnane X receptor reduces an affinity of the compound for the human pregnane X receptor. Consequently, in some embodiments the steric clash thus reduces the induction (e.g., an activity) of a cytochrome P450 and/or other related proteins.
The present disclosure relates to compounds which are useful as cooling sensation compounds.
