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.

Synthesis and optimization of novel allylated mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin (MACs) act as potent anti-inflammatory agents against LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats
allylated mono-carbonylanalogs of curcumin (MACs) were synthesized using an appropriate synthetic route and evaluated experimentally thru the LPS-induced expression of TNF-α and IL-6. Most of the obtained compounds exhibited improved water solubility as a hydrochloride salt compared to lead molecule 8f. The most active compound 7a was effective in reducing the Wet/Dry ratio in the lungs and protein
A series of new allylated mono-carbonyl curcumin analogues (MACs) were designed and synthesized. In vitro cytotoxic activities of allylated MACs 6a-h together with previously reported analogues 4a-i and 7a-e, were tested against human cholangiocarcinoma cell lines including HUCCA, QBC-939 and RBE. Of all the compounds tested, 6c exhibited potent in vitro antiproliferative activity against the three tested cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 8.7, 9.3 and 8.9 mu M, respectively. Cell cycle analysis showed that 6c inhibited cell proliferation due to G2/M arrest. Furthermore, mechanistic studies revealed that 6c dose-dependently increased the level of Bax and inhibited the expression of Bcl-2, to induce cancer cell apoptosis. Taken together, this work provides a novel series of anti-cancer candidates for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
