Total synthesis of three natural phenethyl glycosides

Phenethyl glycosides having phenolic or methoxy functions at benzene rings are substances widely occurring in nature. This kind of compounds has been shown to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. However, some of them are not naturally abundant, thus the synthesis of such molecules is desirable. In this paper, natural phenethyl glycosides 3 and 4 were first totally synthesized from easily available materials with overall yields of 50.5% and 40.1%, respectively. And a new synthetic route to obtain natural phenethyl glycoside 2 in 46.2% yield was also described.

BIOISPIRED PROTEASOME ACTIVATORS WITH ANTIAGEING ACTIVITY

The present invention relates to novel bio-inspired hybrid compounds of formula I which act as proteasome activators and exhibit anti-ageing activity, as well as methods for their synthesis. These hybrid compounds combine the structural features of hydroxytyrosol and the natural antioxidant vitamin E or its bioisosteres in one molecular scaffold. The compounds of formula I, which include structural proteasome activators (activation by stereochemical interaction), can be used in the production of anti-ageing products, such as cosmetic preparations. Additionally, they can be used in conditions and diseases where the proteasome is down-regulated, as well as proteasome-activation control compounds.
