Background: Plant diseases caused by viruses and pathogens have posed a serious threat to global agricultural production and are difficult to control. Natural products have always been a valuable source for lead discovery in medicinal and agricultural chemistry. The natural product resveratrol was found to have good antiviral activity against the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and fungicidal activities against 14 kinds of phytopathogenic fungi.
Objective: The aim of this work was to design, synthesize a series of derivatives of resveratrol, and evaluate their antiviral and fungicidal activities systematically.
Methods: Novel resveratrol sulfonate derivatives were prepared by a convenient synthesis method from resveratrol, alkyl sulfonyl chloride, aryl sulfonyl chloride, and heterocyclic sulfonyl chloride. Their structures were also identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).
Results: Most of the targets were obtained at a high yield. Compounds I-2, I-5, I-10, II-2, and II-4, with excellent antiviral activities, showed higher anti-TMV activities than those of lead compounds and commercial ribavirin (inhibitory rates of 38, 37, and 38% at 500 μg/mL for inactivation, curative, and protection activities in vivo, respectively). In particular, compounds I-5, I-10, II-2, and II-4 displayed similar inhibitory effects as ningnanmycin (inhibitory rates of 54, 56, and 58% at 500 μg/mL for inactivation, curative, and protection activities in vivo, respectively), the best antiviral agent at present, thereby emerging as new antiviral pilot compounds. Further fungicidal activity tests showed that resveratrol derivatives also displayed broad-spectrum fungicidal activities.
Conclusion: The anti-TMV activities of these compounds were discovered for the first time. Some of these simply structured compounds showed higher TMV inhibitory effects than ribavirin. The current study provided valuable insights into the antiviral and fungicidal activities of resveratrol derivatives, but more modification of the structure should be conducted.

Considering our previous experience in the design of new cholinesterase inhibitors, especially resveratrol analogs, in this research, the basic stilbene skeleton was used as a structural unit for new carbamates designed as potentially highly selective butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors with excellent absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity ADMET properties. The inhibitory activity of newly prepared carbamates - was tested toward the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and BChE. In the tested group of compounds, the leading inhibitors were and , which achieved excellent selective inhibitory activity for BChE with IC values of 0.

The relationship between oxidative stress and cancer has been extensively studied and highlighted, along with its role in various aspects of angiogenesis. The modulation of oxidative levels and the adaptive mechanisms of oxidative stress in cancer systems are attractive research themes for developing anti-cancer strategies. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in various pathophysiological processes and play crucial roles in DNA damage and angiogenesis.

The nutritional characteristics of the tetrasaccharide stachyose prompted its incorporation into biosurfactants through esterification with fatty acid derivatives embodying 12-22 carbon chains. The resulting esters were evaluated for their surface active effects, emulsifying properties and capacities to form emulsions capable of the selective delivery of the anti-oxidant resveratrol. While such studies have revealed that those congeners embodying longer side-chains have higher critical micelle concentrations (CMC) and lower interfacial tensions, their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values fell within a tight range.

Cancer cells demonstrate remarkable resilience by adapting to oxidative stress and undergoing metabolic reprogramming, making oxidative stress a critical target for cancer therapy. This study explores, for the first time, the redox-dependent anticancer effects of Polydatin (PD), a glucoside derivative of resveratrol, on the human Osteosarcoma (OS) cells SAOS-2 and U2OS. Using cell-based biochemical assays, we found that cytotoxic doses of PD (100-200 µM) promote ROS production, deplete glutathione (GSH), and elevate levels of both total iron and intracellular malondialdehyde (MDA), which are key markers of ferroptosis.

Polydatin (PD), a glucoside derivative of resveratrol (RES), is extracted as a monomer compound from the dried rhizome of Polygonum cuspidatum. Our laboratory synthesized PD via the biotransformation of resveratrol. To assess the reproductive protective effects of PD, an oligozoospermia mouse model was induced by administering 30 mg/kg busulfan (BUS) via intraperitoneal injection.
