Synthesis and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibition activities of two new synthetic bromophenols and their methoxy derivatives

3-bromo-4,5-bis（2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzyl）-l,2-benzenediol （1） is a natural bromophenol isolated from the red algae Rhodomela confervoides that exhibits significant inhibition against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B （PTP1B）. Based on its activity, we synthesized two new synthetic bromophenols and their methoxy derivatives from vanillin using the structure of natural bromophenol 1 as a scaffold. The structures of these bromophenols were elucidated from H NMR, 13C NMR, and high resolution electron ionization mass spectrometry as 2,3-dibromo-1-（2＇-bromo-6＇-（3＂,4＂-dimethoxybenzyl）- 3 ＇,4 ＇-dimethoxybenzyl）-4,5 -dimethoxybenzene （2）, 2,3-dibromo- 1 -（2 ＇-bromo-6＇-（2 ＂-bromo-4＂,5 ＂-dimethoxy- benzyl）-3＇,4＇-dimethoxybenzyl）-4,5-dimethoxybenzene （3）, 3,4-dibromo-5-（2＇-bromo-6＇-（2＂-bromo-4＂,5＂- dihydroxybenzyl）-3＇,4＇-dihydroxybenzyl）pyrocatechol （4） and 3,4-dibromo-5-（2＇-bromo-6＇-（3＂,4＂- dihydroxybenzyl）-3＇,4＇-dihydroxybenzyl）pyrocatechol （5）. PTP1B inhibition activities of these compounds were evaluated using a colorimetric assay, and compounds 3 and 4 demonstrated interesting activity against PTP1B.

HPLC法测定地夫可特的含量及有关物质

目的:建立测定地夫可特含量及有关物质的高效液相色谱方法。方法:采用VP-ODS色谱柱(250 mm×4.6 mm,5μm),以水-乙腈(60∶40)为流动相,流速1.0 mL.min-1,检测波长244 nm。结果:在上述色谱条件下,各中间体及降解产物均可与地夫可特主峰良好分离。地夫可特与有关物质测定的线性范围分别为50.2～201.0"g.mL-1(r=0.9999)与2.0～15.1"g.mL-1(r=0.9993);方法的重复性与中间精密度RSD分别为0.43%和0.68%。结论:本文方法简便,可用于测定地夫可特的含量及有关物质。
