A comparative study on the antioxidant properties of tetrahydrocurcuminoids and curcuminoids
摘要:
Several curcuminoids and tetrahydrocurcuminoids (THCs), bearing various hydroxyl and/or methoxy groups on their benzene rings, have been synthesized to study their antioxidant and hydrogen donating capacities using the DPPH method at 25 degrees C in methanol. The results show that the tetrahydrocurcuminoids are in general much more efficient than their curcuminoid analogs if they include a phenol group in meta- or para-position of the linking chain and a neighboring phenol or methoxy group. This efficiency gain of THCs by comparison to curcuminoids was attributed to the presence of benzylic hydrogens involved in the oxidation process of these compounds and not to the beta-diketone moiety in the chain.

Compositions of small molecules, matrices, and isolated cells including methods of preparation, and methods for differentiation, transdifferentiation, and proliferation of animal cells into the osteoblast blast cell lineage were described. Examples of osteogenic materials that were administered to cells or co-cultured with cells are represented by compounds of Formula II, IV, and VI independently or preferably in combination with a matrix to afford bone cells. Small molecule-stimulated cells were also combined with a matrix, placed with a cellular adhesive or material carrier and implanted to a site in an animal for bone repair. Matrix pretreated with compounds of Formula II, IV, and VI were also used to cause cells to migrate to the matrix that is of use for therapeutic purposes.

Disclosed are methods for identifying individuals suffering from a CNS disorder (including Alzheimer's Disease, behavioral disorders, and the like) that could be treated with a CNS drug with greater therapeutic efficacy and lower side effects and the compounds useful for such treatment. Also disclosed are methods for predicting the efficacy of a drug candidate for the treatment of a CNS disorder. The technology is also applicable to drug discovery for use in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases.

描述了小分子、基质和分离细胞的组合物,包括制备方法,以及将动物细胞分化、转分化和增殖为成骨细胞的方法。向细胞施用或与细胞共培养的成骨材料的例子以式 II、IV 和 VI 的化合物为代表,这些化合物可独立使用,或最好与基质结合使用,以产生骨细胞。小分子刺激的细胞也与基质结合,与细胞粘合剂或材料载体一起放置,并植入动物的骨修复部位。用式 II、IV 和 VI 的化合物预处理的基质也用于使细胞迁移到用于治疗目的的基质上。
