Eight dimethylaminomethyl-substituted curcumin derivatives were designed and synthesized. The antioxidant test revealed that the synthesized compounds had higher free radical scavenging activity towards both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radicals (DPPH) (IC50 1.5-29.9μM) and galvinoxyl radicals (IC50 4.9-41.1μM) than the lead compound curcumin. Besides, compound 3a could effectively inhibit the Aβ self-aggregation in vitro. Investigated in phosphate-buffered solutions (pH=7.4) in the presence or absence of 0.1% FBS 3a showed a good stability while curcumin did not. Furthermore, 3a showed a good lipophilicity (logP=3.48), suggesting a potential ability to penetrate the blood-brain-barrier. The aqueous solubility of the hydrochloride salt of 3a (16.7mg/mL) has also been significantly improved as compared with curcumin (<0.1mg/mL).
设计并合成了 8 种二甲氨基甲基取代的姜黄素衍生物。抗氧化试验表明,与先导化合物姜黄素相比,合成的化合物对 2,2-二苯基-1-苦基肼自由基(DPPH)(IC50 为 1.5-29.9μM)和戊二醛自由基(IC50 为 4.9-41.1μM)具有更高的自由基清除活性。此外,化合物 3a 能够有效抑制 Aβ的体外自聚集。在磷酸盐缓冲溶液(pH=7.4)中进行研究,无论是否存在 0.1% FBS,3a 都表现出良好的稳定性,而姜黄素则没有。此外,3a 具有良好的亲脂性(logP=3.48),表明其具有穿透血脑屏障的潜力。与姜黄素(<0.1mg/mL)相比,3a 的盐酸盐(16.7mg/mL)的水溶性也得到了显著提高。
