Plant‐Derived Stilbenoids as DNA‐Binding Agents: From Monomers to Dimers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stilbenoids are natural compounds endowed with several biological activities, including cardioprotection and cancer prevention. Among them, (±)-trans-δ-viniferin, deriving from trans-resveratrol dimerization, was investigated in its ability to target DNA duplex G-quadruplex structures by exploiting NMR spectroscopy, circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy molecular docking. (±)-trans-δ-Viniferin proved bind both the minor major grooves of duplexes, whereas it bound 3’- 5’-ends a stacking on outer quartets, accompanied rearrangement flanking residues. Specifically, (±)-trans-δ-viniferin demonstrated higher affinity for targets than monomeric counterpart. Additionally, methoxylated derivatives trans-resveratrol, i. e. (±)-pterostilbene-trans-dihydrodimer trans-pterostilbene, respectively, were evaluated, revealing similar binding modes, affinities stoichiometries as their parent analogues. All tested cytotoxic at μM concentration cell lines, showing damaging activity consistent tightly interact structures.

Rotavirus (RV) infections cause severe diarrhea in infants and young children worldwide. Vaccines are available but cost prohibitive for many countries and only reduce severe symptoms. Vaccinated infants continue to shed infectious particles, and studies show decreased efficacy of the RV vaccines in tropical and subtropical countries where they are needed most. Continuing surveillance for new R...

Three new dihydrostilbenes, stilbostemins J-L (1-3), and a new dihydrophenanthrene, stemanthrene F (4), were isolated from the roots of Stemona japonica together with two known bibenzyls, 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methylbibenzyl (5) and 3,5-dihydroxy-2'-methoxy-4-methylbibenzyl (6). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 3-6 exhibited strong antibacterial activities against...

Two new dihydrostilbenes, stilbostemins H (1), I (2), and a new dihydrophenanthrene, stemanthrene E (3), were isolated and identified from the roots of Stemona sessilifolia, together with known stilbostemins B, D and G, and stemanthrenes A and C (4-8). Structures of new stilbenoids were established by 1D and 2D (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR spectroscopic analyses.
متن کاملMechanisms of Activation of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases: Monomers or Dimers
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play essential roles in cellular processes, including metabolism, cell-cycle control, survival, proliferation, motility and differentiation. RTKs are all synthesized as single-pass transmembrane proteins and bind polypeptide ligands, mainly growth factors. It has long been thought that all RTKs, except for the insulin receptor (IR) family, are activated by ligan...
