A comparative study on the antioxidant properties of tetrahydrocurcuminoids and curcuminoids
摘要:
Several curcuminoids and tetrahydrocurcuminoids (THCs), bearing various hydroxyl and/or methoxy groups on their benzene rings, have been synthesized to study their antioxidant and hydrogen donating capacities using the DPPH method at 25 degrees C in methanol. The results show that the tetrahydrocurcuminoids are in general much more efficient than their curcuminoid analogs if they include a phenol group in meta- or para-position of the linking chain and a neighboring phenol or methoxy group. This efficiency gain of THCs by comparison to curcuminoids was attributed to the presence of benzylic hydrogens involved in the oxidation process of these compounds and not to the beta-diketone moiety in the chain.

The present invention relates to compounds capable of acting as androgen receptor antagonists, pharmaceutical formulations containing the same, and methods of use thereof. Such uses include, but are not limited to, use as antitumor agents, particularly for the treatment of cancers such as colon, skin and prostate cancer and to induce androgen receptor antagonist activity in a subject afflicted with an androgen-related affliction. Examples of androgen-related afflictions include, but are not limited to, baldness, hirsutism, behavioral disorders, acne, and uninhibited spermatogenesis wherein inhibition of spermatogenesis is so desired.

Suitable members of the compounds include both natural compounds derived from extracts of each of
Curcuma
sp.,
Zingiber
sp.,
Ginkgo biloba, Salvia
sp., or
Rosmarinus
sp. as well as synthetic homologues and analogues of such natural compounds. Sage and rosemary derived compounds suitable alone for treatment of beta-amyloid induced disease is also described.
