Synthesis and Bioactivity of Luffarin I
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first synthesis of Luffarin I, sesterterpenolide isolated from sponge Luffariella geometrica, has been accomplished from commercially available sclareol. The key strategy involved in this synthesis is the diastereoselective reduction of an intermediate ketone. Luffarin I against human solid tumor cell lines showed antiproliferative activities (GI50) in the range 12-17 μM.

Kojic acid-derived tyrosinase inhibitors: synthesis and bioactivity
Tyrosinase is a key enzyme for melanin biosynthesis, catalyzing the oxidation of L-tyrosine to L-dopaquinone. The tyrosinase inhibition is an effective approach to control hyperpigmentation in human skin and enzymatic browning in fruits and vegetables. Kojic acid is a naturally-occurring tyrosinase inhibitor which has been clinically used to treat the hyperpigmentation of skin. However, kojic a...

متن کاملThe effect of Silica coating on bioactivity and biodegradability of Hydroxyapatite synthesized in collagen matrix
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of silica coating on bioactivity and biodegradability of hydroxyapatite. In this purpose, we firstly attempted to synthesis hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles and its silica coated (Si-HA) sample in collagen matrix using calcium chloride, sodium phosphate and sodium silicate. Characterization of the sample was carried out using Fourier transform...
