Phenolic Diterpenoid Derivatives as Anti-Influenza A Virus Agents
摘要:
A series of diterpenoid derivatives based on podocarpic acid were synthesized and evaluated as anti influenza A virus agents. Several of the novel podocarpic acid derivatives exhibited nanomolar activities against an HINI influenza A virus (A/Puerto Rico/8/34) that was resistant to two anti-influenza drugs, oseltamivir and amantadine. This class of compounds inhibits the influenza virus by targeting the viral hemagglutinin-mediated membrane fusion. These results indicated that podocarpic acid derivatives may serve as potential drug candidates to fight drug-resistant influenza A virus infections.

identified podocarpicacid anhydride as a 1nM agonist of LXRalpha and beta receptors. Functionally this agonist was over 8-10-fold better activator of LXR receptors compared to one of the natural ligands, 22-(R)-hydroxy cholesterol, in HEK-293 cells. An imide analog increased the level of HDL by 26%, decreased LDL by 10.6%, and increased triglyceride by 51% in hamsters. Discovery, synthesis, SAR and

bimolecular reaction of carboxylicacids with diazoalkanes to form esters is among the mildest and most efficient of organic transformations but is seldom used in synthesis beyond the important case of methyl esterification. This is largely a consequence of the inaccessibility and poor stability of higher diazoalkanes as substrates. In this work we describe a new method for the synthesis of diazoalkanes by
