Design, synthesis, biological and structural evaluation of functionalized resveratrol analogues as inhibitors of quinone reductase 2
摘要:
Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxylstilbene) has been proposed to elicit a variety of positive health effects including protection against cancer and cardiovascular disease. The highest affinity target of resveratrol identified so far is the oxidoreductase enzyme quinone reductase 2 (QR2), which is believed to function in metabolic reduction and detoxification processes; however, evidence exists linking QR2 to the metabolic activation of quinones, which can lead to cell toxicity. Therefore, inhibition of QR2 by resveratrol may protect cells against reactive intermediates and eventually cancer. With the aim of identifying novel inhibitors of QR2, we designed, synthesized, and tested two generations of resveratrol analogue libraries for inhibition of QR2. In addition, Xray crystal structures of six of the resveratrol analogues in the active site of QR2 were determined. Several novel inhibitors of QR2 were successfully identified as well as a compound that inhibits QR2 with a novel binding orientation. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The synthesis and oxidative coupling reactions of two cyano-resveratrol analogues were studied. An 8-5-coupled dihydrobenzofuran-type dimer and an 8-8-coupled diastereoisomeric indane mixture were prepared. The cyano groups of the resveratrol analogues had almost no influence on the regio- or stereoselectivity of the coupling reactions of the two precursors.

On the basis of a hit from random screening, a novel class of small-molecule sortase A inhibitors was generated. The primary structure-activity relationship and the minimal structural requirements for potency were established through structural modifications and molecular modeling studies.
