- Synthesis and activity evaluation of the cyclic dipeptides arylidene N-alkoxydiketopiperazines
-
A series of arylidene N-alkoxydiketopiperazines was designed and stereoselectively synthesized via oxime-ether formation and intramolecular acylation. Possible cyclization and acid-catalyzed rearrangement-fragmentation mechanisms were discussed. The crystal structure of the novel diketopiperazine further confirmed the rearrangement mechanism. Most compounds exhibited antitumor activity. Several compounds were more potent against caspase-3. Specifically, compounds 6e, 6g, and 6f inhibited caspase-3 at IC50values lying within the low micromolar range and demonstrated good selectivity. The binding modes of alkoxydiketopiperazines in the active center of caspase-3 were also discussed based on the molecular docking results.

- Synthesis of salidroside analogues and their ability of DPPH radical scavenging activity
-
Salidroside is a phenylpropanoid glycoside isolated from Rhodiolarosea L., a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, and has displayed a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. In this paper, about 22 novel glycosides have been synthesized and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenge activity of each glycoside has been evaluated. 2-(3,4,5-Trihydroxyphenyl)ethyl β-D-galactopyranoside and 3-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)propyl β-D-glucopyranoside exhibit significant activity prior to salidroside and Vitamin C with EC50 values of 35.85 μM and 36.71 μM, respectively. The results indicate that the phenolic hydroxyl group of these compounds is important for radical scavenging activity and phenyl ring substitution by electron-donating substituents lead to increased antioxidant activity.
