Abstract
In the current project, the total synthesis of albafuran B was achieved in four steps and 19.3% overall yield, involving two key reactions of the one-pot Corey-Fuchs reaction and Suzuki coupling. Using the same protocol, two analogs, moracin C and 4'-farnesyl-moracin M, were also successfully synthesized. The effect of albafuran B on the osteogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord-derived and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells was evaluated via alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red S staining. The assay results revealed that albafuran B showed good osteogenic differentiation promoting activity toward both cell lines.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
