Synthesis and biological activities of thio-avarol derivatives

J Nat Prod. 2008 Nov;71(11):1850-3. doi: 10.1021/np800318m. Epub 2008 Nov 13.

Abstract

Eleven new thio-avarol derivatives (3-13) were synthesized. Their antimicrobial, brine shrimp lethality, and free-radical scavenging activities and acetylcholinesterase inhibition, together with 12 already reported semisynthetic thio-avarol derivatives (14-25), were evaluated. Structure-activity relationships among these thio derivatives were determined.
