Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trans-trihydroxystibene) is a natural phytoalexin present in grapes and red wine, which possesses a variety of biological activities including antioxidative activity. To find more active antioxidants, with resveratrol as the lead compo

Isomerising metathesis is introduced as a sustainable method to produce dihydroxystilbene derivatives from eugenol, a clove oil ingredient, and cardanol from cashew nut shell liquid. Hydrogenation of the dihydroxystilbenes provided their di(hydroxyphenyl)ethane analogues. Initial studies to convert these monomers into polycarbonates and thiol-ene polymers support their potential to replace the petrol-derived bisphenol A (BPA). The estrogenic activity of the monomers derived from cardanol was found to be in the same range as that of BPA, a known endocrine disruptor. In contrast, eugenol-derived materials were found to be non-estrogenic, opening up new perspectives for bio-based food packaging materials.

Diepoxydized diphenyls from eugenol, 4-vinyl guaiacol and 4-vinyl syringol (canolol) were synthesized as sustainable alternatives to the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA). In the first step, glycidylated derivatives were produced by reaction with epichlorohydrin. Then, the dimerization of these derivatives was performed by cross metathesis (CM) reaction in the presence of the Grubbs II catalyst. From the CM reaction, a set of epoxy phenolic dimers was obtained in good yields with a high diastereoselectivity. Estimation by molecular docking calculations of the affinity of the synthesized products and their hydrolysed structures to the intranuclear estrogen receptor ERα showed that the epoxy forms presented a moderate affinity to the antagonistic conformation of the receptor (six to forty times lower than bisphenol A and in the same order of magnitude as DGEBA) and mostly no binding in the agonist conformation. The hydrolysed forms of the epoxy products, which are expected to be predominant in the human body cells, exhibited a relatively weak affinity to the ERα LBD in its both agonistic and antagonistic conformations.
