Synthesis of pisiferic acid analogues and their anti-adipogenic effect in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
12-O-alkyl, acyl, and phenylcarbamoyl, and 11-bromo-7-oxo analogues were prepared from pisiferic acid from Chamaecyparis pisifera, and evaluated anti-adipogenic activity. Among them, pisiferic acid and methyl 12-O-phenylcarbamoylpisiferic acid methyl ester showed relatively high anti-adipogenic effect in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and should be thought to be potential candidates for anti-obesity drug.
