Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of 4-Hydroxycordoin: Potential therapeutic benefits
Feldman, Mark,Tanabe, Shinichi,Epifano, Francesco,Genovese, Salvatore,Curini, Massimo,Grenier, Daniel
, p. 26 - 31 (2011)
4-Hydroxycordoin (1), a natural isopentenyloxychalcone, is a plant secondary metabolite that is relatively rare. Since there are very few reports about the biological activities of 1, its potential benefits for periodontal disease were investigated. A mar
Highly efficient and selective deprotection method for prenyl, geranyl, and phytyl ethers and esters using borontrifluoride-etherate

An efficient, simple, and practical method has been developed for the deprotection of prenyl, geranyl, and phytyl ethers and esters of aromatic and aliphatic compounds using borontrifluoride-etherate (BF3· OEt2) at room temperature in good to excellent yields for the first time.

Isobavachalcone [2′,4,4′-trihydroxy-3′-(3″-methyl- 2″-butenyl)chalcone, 1] is a prenylated chalcone that has broad biological activity, in particular against neuroblastomas, the most common cancer in infancy. It is currently commercially available at a cost of 190/mg by extraction from Psoralea corylifolia and a number of other African and Asian plants. Several synthetic routes have been explored, and the most efficient procedure involves the palladium-catalysed Stille coupling of 3-iodo-2,4-bis(methoxymethoxy)acetophenone (25) with prenyltributyltin, Claisen-Schmidt condensation with 4-(methoxymethoxy)benzaldehyde to form the triply MOM-protected prenylchalcone 27 and finally deprotection with 2 M HCl in methanol to form isobavachalcone in an overall yield of 15 % over five steps. The X-ray crystal structures of 2,4-dihydroxy-3-iodoacetophenone (21) and of several prenylated chalcones are reported, including the elucidation of their hydrogen-bonding networks in the solid state. The synthetic route has been extended to include organometallic derivatives in which the 4-(methoxymethoxy) benzaldehyde used in the Claisen-Schmidt condensation has been replaced by formylferrocene, formylruthenocene or (η5-formylcyclopentadienyl) (η4-tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cobalt to form the corresponding analogues of isobavachalcone containing organometallic sandwich moieties.
