Synthesis and photostability of methoxycinnamic acid modified cyclodextrins
摘要:
Various cyclodextrins, alpha, beta and gamma, were esterified with 4-methoxy-, 2,4,5- and 2,4,6-trimethoxycinnamic acids. Upon esterification with beta-cyclodextrin, the photostability of 2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate increased while no improvement was observed for 4-methoxycinnamate and 2,4,6-trimethoxycinnamate. However, increase in the photostability of 4-methoxycinnamoyl moiety could be observed when esterified with alpha-CD and that of 2,4,6-trimethoxycinnamoyl moiety could be observed after being esterified with gamma-CD. These photostability data together with the 2D NMR analyses indicated that the 4-methoxycinnamoyl, 2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamoyl and 2,4,6-trimethoxy cinnamoyl moieties could enter the alpha-CD, the beta-CD, and the gamma-CD cavities, respectively.

β-D-glycosyl esters are prepared in high yields by reaction of various carboxylic acids and acetobromosugars. The reaction uses potassium carbonate underphase tranfer conditions. Deacetylation affords the β-D-glycosyl carboxylates.
Triple-negativebreastcancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive cancers with a high recurrence rate and rapidly acquired drug resistance among various breastcancer subtypes. There is no specific drug for treatment of TNBC. Discovery of therapeutic agents with unique modes of actions is urgently needed. In this study, a series of seventy parthenolide derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated
Myeloid differentiation protein2 (MD2) is an essential molecule which recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS), leading to initiation of inflammation through the activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) from propolis of honeybee hives could interfere interactions between LPS and the TLR4/MD2 complex, and thereby has promising anti-inflammatory properties
The invention relates to specific cinnamic acid ascorbates and to the use thereof as UV filters which bond to the skin, and to a process for the preparation thereof, and to preparations comprising these compounds.

Mitochondria are considered as a therapeutic target for new drug design toward all kinds of cancer. Hence in order to enhance the dosage in mitochondrial fraction of cinnamamides, the mitochondria targeted derivatives were designed by the incorporation of cinnamamides into a fluorophore carrier of coumarin-3-carboxamide with a 1:1 stoichiometry. Using the amide linkers, twenty-one compounds were synthesized and the cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cells (MCF-7, Hela, HepG2, HL-60) was tested. In particular, compound 18c displayed the potent cytotoxicity toward HL-60 leukaemia cells, which could quickly and efficiently entry into HL-60 cells and specifically localize within mitochondria. And 18c preferred enrichment in HL-60 cells than in PBMC normal cells, accounting for the higher toxicity to cancer cells than to normal cells. Moreover, the dissipations of mitochondrial membrane potential and enhancement of cellular ROS level were also preceded upon 18c treatment, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis/necrosis in HL-60 cells. Besides, acted as a Michael acceptor, 18c initiated a thia-Michael addition reaction toward cysteamine (1:2 stoichiometry), detecting by the UV-Vis spectrum and HRMS analysis. This could result in the blue emission of 18c in mitochondria after the procedure of cell fixation, owing to the formation of covalent bond with mitochondrial thiols. Our study reported 18c might be useful for the further development into a mitochondria-targeted anti-leukemia agent and the Michael acceptor might be a versatile functional group.
