ChemInform Abstract: A Novel One‐Pot Synthesis and Preliminary Biological Activity Evaluation of cis‐Restricted Polyhydroxy Stilbenes Incorporating Protocatechuic Acid and Cinnamic Acid Fragments.

Abstract

The title compounds are tested as radical scavenger, antifungal agents, and tyrosinase inhibitors.

Kinetic and in silico studies of novel hydroxy-based thymol analogues as inhibitors of mushroom tyrosinase

“…A number of cinnamic acid and benzoic acid analogues possessing hydroxy groups at position 3 and 4 of the phenyl ring have been reported as antioxidants and mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors [11,12]. Liu (2003) and Chen (2005) also reported that alkoxy benzoic acids and hydroxy benzoic acids showed potent mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity [13,14].…”

Synthesis and Adhesive Property Study of a Mussel-Inspired Adhesive Based on Poly(vinyl alcohol) Backbone

“…Recently, Wilker and co‐workers synthesized a series of polystyrene‐based mussel‐inspired adhesives by the copolymerization of 3,4‐dimethoxybenzene ethylene and styrene, which showed excellent adhesive ability on metal, glass, and plastic substrates . Although significant achievements have been made in this area, however, the use of expensive raw materials, such as dopamine, 3,4‐dimethoxybenzaldehyde, and dopamine methacrylamide and the sophisticated preparation steps seriously limited their practical application …”
