Synthesis of riccardin C and its seven analogues. Part 1: The role of their phenolic hydroxy groups as LXRα agonists
摘要:
Riccardin C, a nuclear receptor LXR alpha selective agonist, is an 18-membered macrocyclic bisbibenzyl isolated from several liverworts. Synthesis of riccardin C and its seven O-methylated derivatives was accomplished. The synthetic sequence highlights an intramolecular Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in the formation of the 18-membered biaryl linkage present in riccardin C. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds suggests that all of the phenolic hydroxy groups present in riccardin C are essential for the activation of LXRa. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
