Abstract
Lupalbigenin (1) is an antibacterial isoflavone isolated from Maclura cochinchinensis (Lour.) Corner (Moraceae). In this study, we achieved the first gram-scale synthesis of lupalbigenin (1) from commercially available genistein (2), with a yield of 47.7%. The key step was a Claisen rearrangement that simultaneously installed two prenyl groups at the C-6 and C-11 positions of lupalbigenin (1). Antimicrobial activity assays revealed that lupalbigenin (1) exhibited rapid bactericidal activity, inhibited α-hemolysin and biofilm formation, and disrupted bacterial cell membranes. These findings suggest that lupalbigenin (1) is a promising candidate for the development of novel antibiotics to combat bacterial infections.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
