Efficient synthesis of rottlerin and its two subunits

Rottlerin, a natural product isolated from Mallotus philippensis, is associated with a range of biological activities. Its chemical structure is featured by two different substituted phloroglucinol units linked by a methylene group. In this study, we accomplished a total synthesis of rottlerin using phenol-aldehyde condensation as the key reaction. By our method, gram-scale preparation of the two structural subunits was achieved, and rottlerin was obtained in a longest eight linear step with 20% overall yield. Our study provides a practical solution for obtaining the sample of rottlerin in an efficient way.

Phloroglucinol derivatives as anti-tumor agents: synthesis, biological activity evaluation and molecular docking studies

Phloroglucinol compounds isolated from Dryopteris fragrans (L.) Schott showed a variety of biological activities, such as anticancer and anti-inflammatory. In this study, we have made a number of modifications around the scaffold of phloroglucinol and synthesized phloroglucinol derivatives A1–A9, B1–B9, and C1–C3. We synthesized these compounds and investigated their effect on four human cancer cell lines (A-549, MCF-7, Hela, HepG2 cell lines) via MTT assay in vitro. The results revealed that all compounds exhibited certain antiproliferative activities on cancer cell lines and excellent inhibitory effects on MCF-7, in which compound C2 was the best with the IC50 value of 18.49 μM, exceeding that of 5-fluorouracil. Moreover, the cell apoptosis test showed that compound C2 induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, the results of molecular docking analysis explained the probable interaction between the active compounds and active sites of target protein 4I22 and 1OG5.
