Disease relevance of phenethylbenzene

 

High impact information on phenethylbenzene

  • 5-Substituted chroman analogues such as the caffeic acid amides 12 and 16 and the dihydrostilbene analogue 24 were the most potent against both H(2)O(2)- and glutamate-induced damage in Jurkat T cells and HT22 cells, respectively [6].
  • The 1,2-diphenylethane pharmacophor, however, cannot adapt an antiperiplanar conformation to interact with the estrogen receptor (ER) comparable to synthetic (e.g., diethylstilbestrol (DES)) or steroidal (e.g., estradiol (E2)) estrogens [7].
  • The algorithms presented here are used to perform nonlinear least-squares analyses of ST-EPR spectra of the anion exchange protein of the human erythrocyte membrane, band 3, which has been affinity spin-labeled with a recently developed dihydrostilbene disulfonate derivative, [15N,2H13]-SL-H2DADS-MAL [8].
  • Synthesis and evaluation of stilbene and dihydrostilbene derivatives as potential anticancer agents that inhibit tubulin polymerization [9].
  • Within the series, dibenzyl analogues (R = benzyl) were found to be the most effective growth inhibitors, with IC50 values of about 10(-6) M [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of phenethylbenzene

 

Biological context of phenethylbenzene

  • Protonated dibenzyl ether loses formaldehyde upon dealkylation, via an ion-neutral complex of the benzyloxymethyl cation and neutral benzene [11].
  • A simple method was developed for preparation of trans-3'-hydroxycotinine from cotinine in two steps by using NaN[(CH3)3Si]2 and dibenzyl peroxydicarbonate, followed by base-catalyzed hydrolysis [12].
  • The phosphorylation step was found to be considerably improved using in situ-generated dibenzyl chlorophosphite [13].
  • Dibenzyl bromophenols with diverse dimerization patterns from the brown alga Leathesia nana [14].
  • Benzylation of the nitrile took place on the alpha-carbon to the cyano group preferentially affording the corresponding mono- and dibenzyl derivative, whose reductive cyclization resulted in 7-benzyl-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diamine and 7,7-dibenzyl-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4,6-triamine, respectively [15].
 

Anatomical context of phenethylbenzene

  • Only the dibenzyl derivative was slightly affected by sodium, suggesting a dual action for this peptide, as confirmed by preliminary data from guinea pig ileum bioassay [16].
  • Pharmacological data indicated that the strongest anticholinergic activity was shown by the dibenzyl amine 4 g, which among the tested molecules presented also a rather potent effect at the ganglia level, resulting about three times more potent than hexamethonium as ganglionic blocking agent [17].
 

Associations of phenethylbenzene with other chemical compounds

  • For benzophenones, acetophenones, and dibenzyl ether, which are all preferentially protonated at the oxygen, deacylation or dealkylation was observed in the collision-induced dissociation of the protonated molecules [11].
  • EPR investigation of persistent radicals produced from the photolysis of dibenzyl ketones adsorbed on ZSM-5 zeolites [18].
  • Selective protection (tetraacetate 4) of (+)-pancratistatin (la) was followed by phosphorylation (to 5) with dibenzyl chlorophosphite (prepared in situ from dibenzyl phosphite) [19].
  • Diethyl ester and dibenzyl ester derivatives of the inhibitor were active against cathepsin L and the plasmodial protease falcipain 2, but only the latter displayed potent antiplasmodial activity against viable parasites [20].
  • A new furofuran lignan, styraxlignolide B (1), and four new dibenzyl-gamma-butyrolactone lignans, styraxlignolides C-F (2-5), were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble fraction of stem bark of Styrax japonica [21].
 

Gene context of phenethylbenzene

  • However, they showed weak antagonist activity at each receptor subtype, with the exception of the dibenzyl analogue, which was a potent and selective NK-1 receptor antagonist [22].
  • Moreover, dibenzyl diselenide incorporated into the micelles is quite stable and maintains its GPx activity even after exposure to the atmosphere [23].
  • New dihydrostilbene derivatives from the leaves of Glycyrrhiza glabra and evaluation of their antioxidant activity [24].
  • In a search for novel inhibitors of RA-metabolising enzyme inhibitors as potential anti-cancer agents some 1,2-ethandiones, 2-hydroxyethanones and 1-ethylenedioxyethanones based on aryl-substituted 1,2-diphenylethane have been examined [25].
  • It was found that TNL derivatives with a shorter distance between C-4 in ring A and C'-2 in ring C were more cytotoxic, while dibenzyl-gamma-butyrolactones with a longer one were nearly inactive [26].
