Curcumin has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory activities but has been limited for its low stability and poor bioavailability. We have previously reported four series of 5-carbon linker-containing mono-carbonyl analogs of curcumin (MACs). In continuation of our ongoing research, we designed and synthesized 33 novel allylated or prenylated MACs here, and evaluated their anti-inflammatory effects in RAW 264.7 macrophages. A majority of them effectively inhibited the LPS-induced expression of TNF-α and IL-6, especially IL-6. The preliminary SAR and quantitative SAR analysis were conducted. Compound 14q is the most potent analog among them, and exhibits significant protection against LPS-induced death in septic mice. Together, these data present a series of new analogs of curcumin as promising anti-inflammatory agents.

Curcumin has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory activities. However, its potential beneficial effects on various disease preventions and treatments are limited by its unstable structure. The β-diketone moiety renders curcumin to be rapidly metabolized by aldo-keto reductase in liver. In the present study, a series of curcumin analogues with more stable chemical structures were synthesized and several compounds showed an enhanced ability to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-α and IL-6 synthesis in macrophages.
