• Novel analogs of resveratrol were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated.
• Analog 2 was the most potent in inhibiting NF-κB activation and ROS production.
• Analog 2 significantly reduced the LPS-induced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
The chemopreventive properties of resveratrol are ascribed mostly to its antioxidant activity, in particular its scavenging ability for reactive oxygen species (ROS), and to the inhibition of NF-κB pathway which has also been suggested as an important underlying mechanism of its reported properties. In present study, a small library of nine 1,2,4-oxadiazole-based structural analogs of resveratrol were assayed for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Several compounds showed significant inhibitory activities against NF-κB and/or ROS production. Compound 2, incorporating two para-hydroxyphenyl moieties connected by the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, was the most active, its potency in inhibiting activation of NF-κB and ROS scavenging abilities surpassing that of resveratrol. Additionally, we elucidated the mechanisms underlying the NF-κB inhibitory activity of compound 2. Finally, in contrast to resveratrol, compound 2 significantly reduced the LPS-induced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, indicating its prominent anti-inflammatory potential.
