A semi-synthetic route to the D-ring analogs of (–)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from the relatively abundant (–)-epigallocatechin (EGC), isolated from green tea leaves, is described. A natural product (13), found in Cistus salvifolius, its acetate (14) and analog (17) were synthesized by this method. Their inhibitory activities against proteasomes were investigated.Key words: green tea, (–)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), (–)-epigallocatechin (EGC), proteasome inhibition.
本文描述了从绿茶叶中分离出的相对丰富的(-)-表没食子儿茶素(EGC)中获得(-)-表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(EGCG)D环类似物的半合成路线。用这种方法合成了肉苁蓉(Cistus salvifolius)中的一种天然产物(13)及其醋酸盐(14)和类似物(17)。关键词:绿茶;(-)-表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(EGCG);(-)-表没食子儿茶素(EGC);蛋白酶体抑制。
