A convenient synthetic strategy to obtain viniferifuran and (±)-dehydroampelopsin B analogues based on the heterocyclic cores of indole, benzo[ b]thiophene, and benzo[ b]selenophene is presented. The key transformations utilized in the described syntheses include Sonogashira couplings, Cacchi and alkyne electrophilic cyclizations, Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction, chemoselective Suzuki-Miyaura couplings, and acid-promoted intramolecular cyclization to form the seven-membered ring of (±)-dehydroampelopsin B.

Viniferifuran was investigated for its potential to inhibit the activity of xanthine oxidase (XO), a key enzyme catalyzing xanthine to uric acid. An enzyme kinetics analysis showed that viniferifuran possessed a strong inhibition on XO in a typical anti-competitive manner with an IC value of 12.32 μM (IC for the first-line clinical drug allopurinol: 29.

Bacterial infections continue to threaten humankind and the rapid spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria is alarming. Current antibiotics target essential bacterial processes and thereby apply a strong selective pressure on pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria alike. One alternative strategy is to block bacterial virulence systems that are essential for the ability to cause disease but not for general bacterial viability.

Plant polyphenolic compounds are considered a promising source for new antibacterial agents. In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of a collection of resveratrol-derived monomers and dimers screened as single molecules against a panel of nine foodborne pathogens. The results demonstrated that two monomers (i.

Unlabelled: α-Glucosidases have been a major target in controlling and managing postprandial blood glucose and therefore diabetes treatment. This study aims to further identify and purify active compounds from the most active ethyl acetate fraction collected previously in Tinta Cão grape pomace extract (TCEE) using a newly developed and highly effective immobilization method, including obtaining compounds previously shown to inhibit the enzyme. Purification used crosslinked chitosan beads with α-glucosidases bound to polymer, which acted as immobilized enzyme vehicle to collect inhibitors.
