Synthesis of 1-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxy) phenyl naphtho[2,1b]furan as a novel anticancer agent
摘要:
3',4',5'-Trimethoxy benzoyl-naphthalene 2-O-acetic acid (5) underwent base catalysed intramolecular condensation to yield exclusively 1-(3',4',5'-trimethoxy) phenyl naphtho[2,1-b]furan 8. The cyclised product 8 has been characterised by spectroscopy. The product 8 showed significant anticancer activity against human cancer cell lines COLO320DM (colon), CaCO2 (colon) and WRL68 (liver) at 0.7, 0.65 and 0.50 mu g/ml concentrations, respectively, in the in vitro MTT assay.

Synthesis of gallic acid based naphthophenone fatty acid amides as cathepsin D inhibitors
摘要:
Gallic acid, one of the most abundant plant phenolic acids, has been modified to cathepsin D protease inhibitors. The strategy of modification was proposed basing on some previously reported structure and activity relationship (SAR) studies. The synthesized naphthophenone fatty acid amide derivatives have been evaluated for in vitro cathepsin D inhibition activity. Two of them have shown significant inhibition activity with IC50 values of 0.06 and 0.14 mu M, respectively, as compared against pepstatin (0.0023 mu M), the most potent inhibitor known so far. The study revealed that such attempts on gallic acid based pharmacophores might result in potent inhibitors of cathepsin D. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract Several arylmethylethers of phenolic esters and diaryl ketones have been selectively demethylated to their corresponding 4‐hydroxy derivatives by using aluminium chloride‐dichloromethane system at room temperature in good yields (53–85%).
