It is urgently necessary to develop more effective anti-influenza agents due to the continuous emergence of drug-resistant strains of influenza virus. Our earlier studies have identified that certain pentacyclic triterpene derivatives are effective inhibitors of influenza virus infection. In the present study, a series of C-28 modified pentacyclic triterpene derivatives via conjugation with a series of polyphenols were synthesized, and their antiviral activities against influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus in MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney) cells were evaluated. Four compounds 23m, 23o, 23q and 23s displayed robust anti-influenza potency with averaged IC50 values at the low-micromole level, surpassing the potency of oseltamivir. In addition, the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the four conjugates against MDCK cells showed no toxicity at 100 μM. Further mechanism studies of compound 23s, one of the best representative conjugates with IC50 value of 5.80 μM and a selective index (SI) value of over 17.2, by hemagglutination inhibition (HI), surface plasmon resonance and molecular modeling indicated that this conjugate bound tightly to the viral envelope hemagglutinin (KD = 15.6 μM), thus blocking the invasion of influenza viruses into host cells.

Twenty-one natural and unnatural phenolic compounds containing a carbohydrate moiety were synthesized and their structure-activity relationship (SAR) was evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibition and antioxidative activity. Varying the position of the galloyl unit on the 1,5-anhydro -D-glucitol (1,5-AG) core resulted in changes in the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and notably, particularly strong activity was demonstrated when the galloyl unit was present at the C-2 position. Furthermore, increasing the number of the galloyl units significantly affected the α-glucosidase inhibition, and 2,3,4,6-tetra-galloyl-1,5-AG (54) and 2,3,4,6-tetra-galloyl-d-glucopyranose (61) exhibited excellent activities, which were more than 13-fold higher than the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of acertannin (37). Moreover, a comparative structure-activity study suggested that a hemiacetal hydroxyl functionality in the carbohydrate core and a biaryl bond of the 4,6-O-hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) group, which are components of ellagitannins including tellimagrandin I, are not necessary for the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Lastly, the antioxidant activity increased proportionally with the number of galloyl units.

A total synthesis of curvulone B has been completed using a Friedel-Crafts reaction and a highly cis-selective intramolecular oxa-Michael addition. The 2-chlorobenzyl protecting group was employed and found to have much greater Lewis acid stability compared to the simple benzyl group.
