The structure activity relationship was studied in analogous lignans from Schisandra chinensis and their derivatives. These compounds were tested for cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase inhibition. An inhibitor, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (13), was isolated from this plant, so we discussed this compound and a derivative, nordihydroguaiaretic acid tetramethyl ether, using molecular mechanics involving three-dimensional modeling and minimization of the structure using the MM2PP program. As a result, it was found that the structure of nordihydroguaiaretic acid tetramethyl ether and papaverine (30) (positive control) shared a similar low energy conformation. This fact suggested that these compounds inhihited cAMP phosphodiesterase by a similar mechanism.

Herein, we detail a unified synthetic approach to the classical lignan family of natural products that hinges on divergence from a common intermediate that was strategically identified from nature's biosynthetic blueprints. Efforts toward accessing the common intermediate through a convergent and modular approach resulted in the discovery of a sterically encumbered photoredox catalyst that can selectively generate carbonyl ylides from electron-rich epoxides. These can undergo concerted [3 + 2] dipolar cycloadditions to afford tetrahydrofurans, which were advanced (2-4 steps) to at least one representative natural product or natural product scaffold within all six subtypes in classical lignans. The application of those synthetic blueprints to the synthesis of heterolignans bearing unnatural functionality was demonstrated, which establishes the potential of this strategy to accelerate structure-activity-relationship studies of these natural product frameworks and their rich biological activity.

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and its synthetic analogues are potentially useful in treating diseases related to cancers, diabetes, viral and bacterial infections, and inflammation. In this paper, we report the optimal synthetic methods and the bioactivity study of terameprocol 2, NDGA derivative 3, and its cyclized analogue 4. The IC50 of these three compounds 2, 3 and 4 on the growth metabolism of Schizosacchromyces pombe and K562 cell lines were determined by microcalorimetry. The preliminary results showed that the compounds 2, 3 and 4 possessed good inhibition activities on S. pombe and K562 cell lines, and exhibited bidirectional biological effect and Hormesis effect. In particular, terameprocol 2 was found to possess the most potent inhibitory effect on K562 cell lines.
