We synthesized RvE3 and its deoxy derivatives, 17-deoxy-RvE3 and 18-deoxy-RvE3, by a common route via Sonogashira coupling as a key step. The evaluation of their anti-inflammatory activities revealed that 18-deoxy-RvE3 was remarkably more potent than the parent RvE3 and significantly active at a 300 fg dose in mice; additionally, 17-deoxy-RvE3 was significantly less potent than the parent RvE3. For the first time, we found that the 17-hydroxy group of RvE3 is very important for anti-inflammatory activity.
我们通过 Sonogashira 偶联反应这一关键步骤,以通用路线合成了 RvE3 及其脱氧衍生物,17-脱氧-RvE3 和 18-脱氧-RvE3。评估它们的抗炎活性表明,18-脱氧-RvE3 比母体 RvE3 显著更有效,在小鼠中 300fg 剂量时就有显著活性;此外,17-脱氧-RvE3 的效力明显低于母体 RvE3。我们首次发现,RvE3 的 17-羟基对抗炎活性非常重要。
