Stilbenes, especially those oligomers, have great potential to be antihyperglycemic agents. In this study, eight stilbene dimers, including five new ones, were obtained by biotransformation of piceatannol using Momordica charantia peroxidase (MCP) for the first time. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic evidences. These piceatannol dimers displayed potential α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, and trans double bond, tetrahydrofuran ring, and free adjacent phenolic dihydroxyls were found to be important for their activities. Enzymatic biotransformation of stilbenes by M. charantia peroxidase (MCP) was showed to be a prominent way to produce oligomeric stilbenes for antihyperglycemic development.

A series of hydroxylated trans-stilbene related to the antileukemic natural product trans-3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxy stilbene (piceatannol) (1) has been prepared and tested for inhibition of the lymphoid cell lineage-specific protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck, which plays an important role in lymphocyte proliferation and immune function.A number of the analogues displayed enhanced enzyme inhibitory activity relative to the natural product.Reduction of the double bond bridging the two aromatic rings and benzylation of the phenolic hydroxyl groups was found to decrease activity significantly.The most potent compounds in the series proved to be trans-3,3',5,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene, trans-3,3',5-trihydroxystilbene, and trans-3,4,4'-trihydroxystilbene.
