ABSTRACT:
Novel
heterocyclic analogs of resveratrol, (E)-stilbene analogs, were readily
prepared by conjugation of a heterocyclic benzothiazolium moiety with the core
styrene structure of resveratrol and evaluated for their biological properties.
The results showed that these analogs were superior to resveratrol in 1)
anti-angiogenesis in vitro, 2) nitric
oxide inhibition in vitro, and 3)
inhibition of carrageenan-induced edema in
vivo. In summary, introduction of a heterocyclic benzothiazolium moiety to
replace one of two aromatic rings from the core stilbene structure of
resveratrol provided beneficial biological properties and is worthy of further
investigation.
