Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) has been synthesized in nine steps from piperonal using Stobbe condensation as the key step with high yield. By this approach, five relative natural products were obtained.

Methods: Cell growth inhibition was measured with MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was observed with light and electron microscopy and TUNEL. Expression of bcl-2 gene was measured with immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and image analyses. Results: NDGA at the concentration of 100 μmol/L inhibited the proliferation of SHG-44 cells and induced apoptosis in a time-dependent manner. The expression of Bcl-2 protein in SHG-44 cells was decreased in the present of 100 μmol/L NDGA along with the duration of treatment in a negative correlation with the degree of cell apoptosis. The bcl-2 mRNA expressed in SHG-44 cells was reduced after treatment with 100 μmol/L NDGA, apparently consistent with the immunohistochemical results. Conclusion: NDGA can induce apoptosis of human malignant glioma cells probably by down-regulating expression of bcl-2 gene, though the exact mechanism needs further study.展开更多
