trans- and cis-Icosyl, docosyl, and tetracosyl p-coumarates, constituents of Artemisia annua L., and their structurally-related compounds were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity on DNA polymerases alpha and beta. Among 30 compounds synthesized, octadecyl trans- and cis-p-coumarates and octadecyl p-hydroxyphenylpropiolate showed strong inhibitory activity on DNA polymerases alpha and beta.
