Structure–activity relationship studies of curcumin analogues
摘要:
Two series of curcumin analogues, a total of twenty-four compounds, were synthesized and evaluated. The most potent compound, compound 23, showed potent growth inhibitory activities on both prostate and breast cancer lines with IC50 values in sub-micromolar range,fifty times more potent than curcumin. Curcumin analogues might be potential anti-tumor agents for breast and prostate cancers. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The asymmetric catalytic synthesis of naturally occurring and biologically active spiro compounds is a challenge for modern chemical methodology. Here we report the construction of spiro compounds through cascade [5+1] double Michael reactions between divinyl ketones and N-unprotectedoxindoles or N-phenyl-protected pyrazolones catalyzed by a combination of the easily available 9-amino-9-deoxy-epi-quinine
