(-)-Arctigenin and a series of new analogues have been synthesised and then tested for their potential as AMPA and kainate receptor antagonists of human homomeric GluA1 and GluK2 receptors expressed in HEK293 cells using a Ca2+ influx assay. In general, these compounds showed antagonist activity at both receptors with greater activity evident at AMPARs. Schild analysis indicates that a spirocyclic analogue 6c acts as a non-competitive antagonist. Molecular docking studies in which 6c was docked into the X-ray crystal structure of the GluA2 tetramer suggest that (-)-arctigenin and its analogues bind in the transmembrane domain in a similar manner to the known AMPA receptor non-competitive antagonists GYKI53655 and the antiepileptic drug perampanel. The arctigenin derivatives described herein may serve as novel leads for the development of drugs for the treatment of epilepsy. This journal is

Analogues of the natural product (-)-arctigenin, an activator of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase, were prepared in order to evaluate their effects on 2-deoxyglucose uptake in L6 myotubes and possible use in ameliorating metabolic disorders. Racemic arctigenin 2a was found to display a similar uptake enhancement as does (-)-arctigenin. As a result, the SAR study was conducted utilizing racemic compounds. The structure-activity relationship study led to the discovery of key substitution patterns on the lactone motif that govern 2-deoxyglucose uptake activities. The results show that replacement of the para-hydroxyl group of the C-2 benzyl moiety of arctigenin by Cl has a pronounced effect on uptake activity. Specifically, analogue 2p, which contains the p-Cl substituent, stimulates glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation in L6 myotubes.

Arctiidilactone (1), a novel rare butyrolactone lignan with a 6-carboxyl-2-pyrone moiety, and 11 new butyrolactone lignans (2-12) were isolated from the fruits of Arctium lappa L., together with 5 known compounds (13-17). Their structures were elucidated by interpretation of their spectroscopic data (1D and 2D NMR, UV, IR, ORD, and HRESIMS) and comparison to literature data. The absolute configurations of compounds 1-12 were determined by a combination of rotating-frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and Rh2(OCOCF3)4-induced CD spectroscopy. All of the compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory properties in terms of suppressing the production of NO in lipopolysaccharide-induced BV2 cells. Compounds 1, 6, 8, and 10 exhibited stronger anti-inflammatory effects than the positive control curcumin, particularly 1, which exhibited 75.51, 70.72, and 61.17% inhibition at 10, 1, and 0.1 μM, respectively.
