Abstract: Resveratrol, a star natural product from red wine, has
attracted increasing attention around the world. In recent years,
resvera-trol derivatives (including its oligomers) have shown
amazing chemical diversity and biological activities. They have
been emerging to be promising new sources of natural antioxidant.
This review summarizes recent finding on antioxidant activities of
resveratrol deriva-tives and the structure-activity relationship
for the first time. Scientific evidences have highlighted their
potential as therapeutic agents for cerebral and cardiovascular
diseases. In our opinion, more effort should be devoted to the
synthesis of resveratrol oligomers. Based on the structure-activity
relationship, screening for resveratrol derivatives with higher
antioxidant activity than trans-resveratrol is war-ranted, and
these molecules may have greater therapeutic potential in future
investigations.

1. INTRODUCTION
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide anion
(O2
), hydroxyl radical (OH), peroxyl radicals (ROO), and sin-glet
oxygen (1O2), are highly reactive molecules generated during
cellular respiration and normal metabolism, which play a dual role
as both deleterious and beneficial species [1]. Beneficial effects
of ROS occur at low/moderate concentrations and involve
physiologi-cal roles in cellular responses to noxia, in the
function of a number of cellular signaling pathways, and the
induction of a mitogenic response [2]. However, overproduction of
ROS results in oxidative stress (OS), a state of imbalance between
ROS production, and the ability of cells endogenous antioxidants to
defend against them, leading to progressive oxidative damage to
cell structures, including lipids and membranes, proteins, and
nucleic acids [3]. Therefore, ROS have been implicated as being
important causative agents of aging and various human diseases,
such as stroke, cancer, heart diseases, multiple sclerosis,
Parkinson's disease, and autoimmune disease [4]. For example, in
the past 20 years, the study of ROS dependent damage to DNA has
become a major thrust of carcino-genesis research. ROS are able to
attack the bases or the deoxyribo-syl backbone of DNA, or attack
other cellular components such as lipids to generate reactive
intermediates that couple to DNA bases. The resulted endogenous DNA
lesions are genotoxic and induce mutations that can contribute to
the development of cancer [5].
In the normal physiological state, ROS are regulated by cellular
endogenous antioxidants both enzymatically and non-enzymatically,
which constitute a complex and efficient antioxida-tive defense
system. Enzymatic antioxidants include superoxide dismutase (SOD),
glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), while non-enzymatic
antioxidants are represented by glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid
(Vitamin C), -tocopherol (Vitamin E), caro-tenoids, flavonoids, and
other antioxidants. Under normal condi-tions, there is a balance
between ROS and the intracellular levels of these antioxidants,
which is essential for the survival of living or-ganisms and their
health [6]. However, under OS the impaired anti-oxidative defense
system is unable to control the level of ROS, and demand exogenous
supplement of antioxidant to scavenge exces-sive ROS to restore the
original state of cellular redox homeosta-sis [7]. Therefore,
antioxidants that effectively scavenge these ROS are potential
preventive or therapeutic agents against ROS-mediated diseases.

Loes. fil.) in 1940 [8]. Now most of the commercial resveratrol
products are isolated and purified from a traditional Chinese and
Japanese medicine, the roots of Polygonum cuspidatum [9]. Initially
characterized as a phytoalexin of grapevines (Vitis vinifera) [10],
resveratrol attracted little interest until 1992, when it was
linked to the low incidence of heart diseases in some regions of
Francethe so-called French paradox, that is, despite a high fat
intake, mor-tality from coronary heart disease is lower due to the
regular con-sumption of red wine [11]. In 1997, a seminal paper
reporting the cancer chemopreventive activity of resveratrol [12]
has triggered considerable attention on this natural polyphenol.
The past 15 years have witnessed intense research devoted to the
biological activities, especially the antioxidant activity, of this
star natural product [13], which has become a dietary supplement
and a candidate for drug development, and its biological activities
have been extensively reviewed [14]. Its potent antioxidant
activity is empowered by its unique structure. It has recently
become clear that the three phenol groups with remarkable
H-transfer capacity [15] and the tran-sisomery of the double bond
[16] are responsible for its antioxidant activity (Fig. (2)).
Since ROS play an important role in carcinogenesis, antioxi-dant
activities of 700 plant extracts were assessed by J. M. Pez-zuto's
Lab in 1990s, to discover and characterize natural antioxi-dants
with cancer chemopreventive activity. Bio-assay guided isola-tion
of the 28 plant extracts found active in the primary screening
resulted in the characterization of many potent antioxidants. Among
them, resveratrol and its derivative piceatannol showed the highest
cancer chemopreventive activities determined by a
7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthrancene (DMBA)-induced preneoplastic lesion
formation in mammary gland organ culture model [17]. This report
indicated that resveratrol derivatives may offer comparable or even
stronger biological activities. Other investigation also
demonstrated that some derivatives exhibited higher antioxidant
activities than resveratrol [18]. In recent years, research
interests are shifting from resveratrol to its derivatives
(including its oligomers), which are emerging to be promising new
sources of natural antioxidant. This review summarizes findings in
the past 15 years, which docu-mented the discovery of resveratrol
derivatives as new antioxidants and their therapeutic applications,
with special attention to the structure-activity relationship
(SAR).
2. CHEMICAL DIVERSITY
Resveratrol and its derivatives belong to a group of plant
poly-phenolic compounds stilbene, which are distributed in
particular families of plants including Vitaceae, Dipterocarpaceae,
Gnetaceae, Cyperaceae, and Leguminosae [19]. The stilbene nucleus
is based on a 14-carbon skeleton composed of two phenyl rings
linked by an ethylene bridge. Stilbenes are derived from the
general phenylpro-panoid pathway, starting from phenylalanine. The

stilbene synthase via a single reaction. Stilbene synthase uses
three malonyl-CoA and one p-coumaroyl-CoA as substrates and
synthesize a linear tetraketide intermediate, which is then
cyclized via an aldol condensation, followed by an additional
decarboxylation to afford resveratrol (Fig. (3)) [20]. Then further
modifications, including glycosylation [21], methylation [22],
oligomerization [23], isomerization [24], and isoprenylation [25],
generate various resveratrol derivatives with intriguing chemical
diversity (Fig. (4)).

ROS.
There have been several reviews concerning the chemical
di-versity of natural stilbenes [26]. From 1995 to 2008, about 400
new naturally occurring stilbenes have been isolated and
characterized [26d]. To the best of our knowledge, there are at
least 500 natural stilbenes reported, most of which are resveratrol
oligomers. The chemical diversity of resveratrol oligomers mainly
lies in the fol-lowing aspects:
(1) Degree of polymerization (DP). DP is the number of units of
resveratrol monomers forming an oligomer, which could range
from 2 to 8. Representative structures of oligomers with
differ-ent DPs are shown in Fig. (5). Dimers, trimers and tetramers
constitute the major members of resveratrol oligomers. Highly
condensed stilbene oligomer (HCSO), which was composed of more than
five stilbene monomers, is rare. Hitherto, there have only been six
HCSOs discovered from the plant kingdom, namely vaticanol D [27],
vaticanols H-J [28], vateriaphenol A [29], and chunganenol [30].
All of them are resveratrol oli-gomers from Dipterocarpaceous
plants, with exception of chun-ganenol (Fig. (5)), which was the
first resveratrol hexamer from Vitaceae family [30]. Vateriaphenol
A (Fig. (5)), a resveratrol octamer from Vateria indica has the
highest DP ever reported.
(2) Variety of skeleton. Resveratrol oligomers are produced by
oxidative coupling between resveratrol monomers via different
patterns, thus generating distinct skeletons. Ten patterns have
been reported when two monomeric units linked by only one CC or COC
bond (with two linkage points). Another ten patterns have been
found, when two monomeric units linked by two CC or COC bonds (with
four linkage points), com-monly forming a ring. Seven patterns have
been observed, when two monomeric units linked by three CC or COC
bonds (with six linkage points), usually forming two rings. And
there are only two patterns discovered, when two monomeric units
linked by four CC or COC bonds (with eight linkage points) [26d].
In sum, there are at least 29 different patterns, leading to the
formation of dozens of skeletons. Some examples with different
linkage points are shown in Fig. (6). Readers are encouraged to
consult the recent review by Dr. H. X. Lous lab for further details
[26d]. It is worth noting that chunganenol,

which was discovered in our lab, features a unique skeleton
interunit lingkage where two stilbene units are connected by a
methylene bridge (Fig. (5)) [30].
(3) Complex stereochemistry. The planar structures of monomeric
resveratrol derivatives do not possess any chiral carbon. When two
monomeric units couple to form an oligomer, opening of the ethylene
bridge could generate asymmetry. For example, catalyzed by
horseradish peroxidase (HRP), dimerization of resveratrol yields
the racemic mixture of resveratrol-trans-dehydrodimer (Fig. (7))
[31]. As the largest resveratrol oli-gomeric molecule, the octamer
vateriaphenol A have 16 chiral carbons. In most cases, hydrogens
from the same ethylene bridge located as trans configuration in
oligomers. All the natu-ral resveratrol oligomers with chiral
centers are optically active, indicating that biosyntheses of them
in plants are enantioselec-tive (formation of dimer) or
diastereoselective. Some of these selectivities are family
specific. For instance, (+)--viniferin (Fig. (4)), a resveratrol
dimer, and (+)-hopeaphenol, a resvera-trol tetramer, are isolated
from Vitaceaeous plants, however their enantiomers are from other
families such as Dipterocar-paceae and Gnetaceae. Based on the
biomimetic transformation from (+)--viniferin to many other
oligomers, Takaya et al. fur-ther proposed that the stereochemistry
of resveratrol oligomers from Vitaceaeous plants may be originated
from the stereo-chemistry of (+)--viniferin [32]. The amazing
chemical diversity of resveratrol derivatives
shows again the great imagination of nature. Synthesis of
mono-meric resveratrol derivatives has been a hot topic in both
organic and medicinal chemistry. A number of catalytic methods have
been
developed to generate chemical diversity synthetically (for
review, see [33]). Even though considerable achievement has been
made in recent years [34], the synthesis of resveratrol oligomers
remains a great challenge due to their chemical complexity as
discussed above. Advance in organic chemistry to provide a general
and facile approach is still highly needed at the following points:
(1) Enanti-oselective or diastereoselective oligomerization. (2)
Regioselective coupling at specific location. (3) Regioselectivity
in forming spe-cific coupling pattern.
3. ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY
3.1. DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazyl) Radical
DPPH is a stable free radical, which has been widely used for
the evaluation of antioxidant activities of natural products in the
micromolar range [35]. The DPPH assay is simple and rapid, thus
highly suitable for in vitro screening for antioxidants [36].
Resvera-trol and its derivatives with DPPH scavenging activities
are summa-rized in (Table 1). Apparently, resveratrol is not the
best DPPH scavenger. Many derivatives showed comparable or stronger
DPPH scavenging activities than resveratrol. They are astringin,
as-tringinin, piceatannol, scirpusin A, quadrangularin A,
parthenocis-sin A, laetevirenol A, laetevirenol B, chunganenol,
-viniferin, and vitisin A. Among them, laetevirenol A, laetevirenol
B, and chun-ganenol with novel structures were discovered in our
lab [37]. There seems to be a relationship between DP and DPPH
scavenging activity, and the average activities of different DPs
follow the order: monomer dimer > tetramer > trimer [38]. It
is also observed that the antioxidant activity of the same compound
could vary signifi-cantly under different assay conditions.

concentration, longer reaction time and higher temperature would
decrease IC50 value. We strongly recommend that future
investiga-tion of resveratrol derivatives should include
trans-resveratrol as positive control, so that data from different
reports could be com-pared.
3. 2. Hydroxyl Radical
The hydroxyl radical has a high reactivity, making it a very
dangerous radical with a very short half-life of approximately 109
s in vivo [43]. Resveratrol has been reported to scavenge hydroxyl
radical as determined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)
spin-trapping technique [13d], which is the most accurate and
reli-able method for measuring scavenging effect against ROS.
Leonard et al. used the Fenton reaction (Fe2+H2O2Fe3+OHOH) as a
source of hydroxyl radical, which was trapped by DMPO to generate
DMPO-OH adducts, a much more stable free radical de-tectable by
EPR. Resveratrol was found to scavenge hydroxyl radi-cal in a dose
dependant manner with reaction rate constant calcu-lated as 9.45108
M-1s-1 [13d]. However, as we look into the data presented in Ref
13d, addition of 1.3 mM resveratrol only caused 40% inhibition of
hydroxyl radical signals in EPR spectrum. This result has been
confirmed in our recent investigation [44]. We have screened many
resveratrol derivatives for hydroxyl radical scaven-ger by EPR
spin-trapping technique, however, none of them showed potent
scavenging effect (unpublished data).
3.3. Superoxide Anion Radical
Molecular oxygen has a unique electronic configuration and is
itself a radical. The addition of one electron to molecular oxygen
forms the superoxide anion radical (O2
) [1a]. Although it is less reactive than hydroxyl radical,
O2
is considered the primary ROS, and can further interact with
other molecules to generate much more toxic secondary ROS, such as
H2O2,
OH, and ROO [45]. It has been implicated in the pathology of
various diseases [46]. O2
is usually generated using a xanthine/xanthine oxidase system
and measured spectrophotometrically or using ESR spin-trapping
technique. Leonard et al. have reported the superoxide anion
scavenging effect of resveratrol in a dose dependant manner [13d].
In 2000, vaticanol D, a novel resveratrol hexamer isolated from
Vatica rassak, showed a scavenging activity of super oxide at IC50
= 7.4 M. It was also the first occurrence of resveratrol hex-
amer [27]. In 2002, trans--viniferin, the major dimer of
resvera-trol, isolated from Vitis vinifera (grape), exhibited
stronger superox-ide anion scavenging activity than resveratrol and
some of its monomeric derivatives [47]. In 2003, resveratrol along
with ten derivatives were isolated from Gnetum gnemon. Most of them
showed potent scavenging activities toward O2
[48]. Two years later, Kim et al. reported superoxide anion
scavenging activity of twelve stilbenes from Parthenocissus
tricuspidata, where piceatan-nol exerted the best activity among
the isolates [40]. The scaveng-ing activities of resveratrol and
its derivatives against O2
are listed in (Table 2). It is worth noting that superoxide
anion scaveng-ing effect can differ with the test used, and there
are more determin-ing factors in the assay condition and
measurement than the DPPH assay.
3.4. Peroxyl Radicals
Another ROS derived from oxygen is peroxyl radicals(ROO). They
can initiate fatty acid peroxidation, which is detrimental to cell
structure and function [49]. Therefore, it is very important to
evaluate an antioxidants capacity to inhibit lipid peroxidation
[50]. Antioxidant activities of resveratrol and its monomeric
derivatives have been assessed by their capacity to prevent
Fe2+-induced lipid peroxidation in microsomes or Cu2+-induced lipid
peroxidation in low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Astringin and
astringinin (also known as piceatannol) showed similar or even
stronger effect than resveratrol in both assay system [18b]. This
result has been confirmed in another investigation where twelve
stilbenes were evaluated for their lipid peroxidation inhibitory
activity in rat liver homogenates [40]. 4,4'-Dihydroxystilbene has
been reported to exert 81.5% inhibition in a -carotene bleaching
assay, which was comparable to that of -tocopherol (Vitamin E)
tested in the same conditions [47]. Eight stilbenes derivatives
from Gnetum gnemon showed better lipid peroxide inhibition than
that of resveratrol [48]. In our previous report, the antioxidant
activities of quadrangularin A and parthenocissin A, two isomeric
resveratrol dimers, were markedly stronger than that of vitamin C,
as determined by -carotene bleaching assay [51]. In addition, there
are a handful syn-thetic resveratrol monomeric derivatives are
effective antioxidants against lipid peroxidation. These results
are discussed in the latter structure-activity relationship
section. (Table 3) summarizes in-hibitory effects of naturally
occurring resveratrol derivatives toward lipid peroxidantion.

3.5. Singlet Oxygen
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is molecular oxygen in its first excited
singlet state, generated by the transfer of energy to ground state
(triplet) molecular oxygen [52]. It is formed readily on exposure
of a range of endogenous and exogenous sensitizers, including
por-phyrins and dye molecules such as Rose Bengal, to ultraviolet
and visible light [53]. 1O2 reacts with a wide range of cellular
targets including proteins, DNA, RNA, lipids, and sterols [54].
Among these important biological molecules, proteins, Cys, Met,
Trp, Tyr and His residues are major targets for 1O2, since the rate
constants for reaction of 1O2 with proteins side-chains are higher
than that with the others, and proteins are present at higher
concentrations within cells [55]. Dr. M. J. Davies has estimated
that 68.5% of 1O2 generated within cells may be consumed by
proteins [56]. It has been postulated to play a role in the
development of a number of light-induced diseases including
cataract, sunburn and some skin cancers [57]. Therefore,
antioxidants with potent 1O2 quenching effects may have potential
in the treatment and prevention of these diseases. For a long time,
the 1O2 quenching effects of stilbenes
have been ignored, until our investigation demonstrated that
palli-dol (Fig. (6)), a resveratrol dimer from red wine, is a 1O2
oxygen quencher in 2009 [58]. Pallidol showed strong quenching
effects on 1O2 at very low concentrations in aqueous system with
IC50 = 5.5 M, which was even stronger than EGCG (Epigallocatechin
gallate, a famous antioxidant from green tea with IC50 = 14.5 M).
Our kinetic study has revealed that the reaction of pallidol with
1O2 had an extremely high rate constant (ka = 1.71 1010). It is
recom-mended to be used as a preventive agent in 1O2-mediated
diseases, which may contribute to the health beneficial effects of
red wine. In the same year, another two novel resveratrol
tetramers, laetevire-nols F and G, from Parthenocissus laetevirens
has been emerged as effective 1O2 quencher with IC50 = 5.4 M and
6.3M respectively, which were comparable with pallidol and stronger
than EGCG [59]. In another investigation in our lab, three
resveratrol oligomers have been isolated and purified from Vitis
chunganensis by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC).
Among them, vitisin A, a resveratrol tetramer, showed similar
selective quenching effect against 1O2 with IC50 = 6.9 M [41].

From Resveratrol to Its Derivatives Current Medicinal Chemistry,
2013, Vol. 20, No. 4 9
Our previous investigations have proved that resveratrol and its
derivatives are potent 1O2 quenchers, therefore we conducted a
mechanistic study in 2010 [44]. In order to understand the
mecha-nism under the quenching effect, our priority was to find out
the active functional group(s) that may react with 1O2. A mimetic
HPLC/ESI-MS2 assay was designed to identify the product(s) of
reaction between resveratrol and 1O2. Based on detailed analysis of
the MS fragmentation data, we were able to characterize the major
product as resveratrol quinone (Fig. (8)). Additional analyses of
the reaction products between resveratrol oligomers (Pallidol and
Amurensin G) and 1O2 have lead to the identification of
corre-sponding quinone structures, revealing that resveratrol and
its de-rivatives undergo a similar reaction with 1O2. The reaction
take place at the resorcinol group, that is the
3,5-dihydroxylbenzene moiety. The first step of the reaction
involves a 1,4-cycloaddition of 1O2 to the resorcinol ring,
yielding the endoperoxide intermediate IM-1. Then the subsequent
reaction step diverts into two pathways: Pathway A undergo an
intramolecular H-abstraction of IM-1 to generate IM-2; Pathway B
involves hydrolysis and then consecu-tive loss of a molecular water
to give an unstable hydroperoxide IM-2' and then IM-2. The two
pathways maintain a competitive dynamic equilibrium. Our further
theoretical calculation, performed with PM3 semiempirical molecular
orbital calculations, indicated that pathway B played a predominant
role in the second step. Fi-nally, the intramolecular loss of H2O
in IM-2 yield resveratrol qui-nones (Fig. (8)) [44]. The 1O2
quenching effect of resveratrol has been corroborated by Jung et
al.s recent report. Resveratrol has shown a protective effect on
the methylene blue sensitized pho-tooxidation of -terpinene, which
explains the mechanism of how resveratrol protects tissues and
cells from photosensitized oxidation in biological systems
[60].
4. THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL
In the past 15 years, numerous publications have proved the
therapeutic potential of resveratrol in various diseases including
cancer, heart disease, diabetes and stroke [14c]. However, its
ex-tremely low bioavailability and rapid clearance from the
circulation have laid down some limitation in its applications. As
Dr. D. A. Sinclair demonstrated in the review, developing analogues
with improved bioavailability, or finding new, more potent
compounds that mimic its effects will become increasingly important
[14c]. Although still scarce, a few investigations have already
revealed the therapeutic potential of resveratrol derivatives.
In 2001, Hung et al. have reported the beneficial effects of
as-tringinin (3,3',4',5-tetrahydroxystilbene, also known as
piceata-nol) on the ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) damage in rat
heart [61]. Astringinin with an additional hydroxyl group in its
structure have shown stronger antioxidant activity than resveratrol
in differ-ent investigations. In the study, astringinin has been
introduced to examine its cardioprotective effects in ischemia or
I/R, where the left main coronary artery was occluded by three
different proce-dures: (i) 30 min occlusion, (ii) 5 min occlusion
followed by 30 min reperfusion, and (iii) 4 h occlusion. Rats were
infused with and without astringinin before coronary artery
occlusion to evaluate its preventive effects. Pretreatment of
astringinin has significantly reduced the incidence and duration of
ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Astringinin
could completely prevent the mortality of animals during ischemia
or I/R at the dosages of 2.5 10-5 and 2.5 10-4 g/kg. During the
same period, astringinin pre-treatment has also increased nitric
oxide (NO) and decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in the
carotid blood. Therefore, as-tringinin is a potent antiarrhythmic
agent with cardioprotective activity. It is also observed that the
beneficial effects of astringinin are related to its antioxidant
activity and upregulation of NO pro-duction [61].
In 2004, another resveratrol derivative, oxyresveratrol
(trans-2,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene), has been indicated as a
neuroprotec-
tive agent, which inhibits the apoptotic cell death in transient
cere-bral ischemia [62]. The neuroprotective effect of
oxyresveratrol was assessed in the transient rat middle cerebral
artery occlusion (MCAO) model to mimic the onset of ischemic
stroke. Oxyresvera-trol was administered twice intraperitoneally:
immediately after occlusion and at the time of reperfusion.
Oxyresveratrol has dra-matically reduced the brain infarct volume
of MCAO rats at the dosages of 10 or 20 mg/kg. The neurological
deficits induced by I/R have also been improved by oxyresveratrol
treatment. His-tological analysis of apoptotic markers in the
ischemic brain area has indicated that oxyresveratrol treatment
inhibited cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation in MCAO
rats, and the number of apoptotic nuclei in ischemic brain was also
reduced by oxyresvera-trol treatment. The dose dependent
neuroprotective effect of oxyresveratrol suggests that it is a
potent neuroprotectant in vivo, and is potentially useful in the
treatment of stroke [62].
In the next year, isorhapontigenin
(trans-3-methoxy-3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene) has been reported to
attenuates cardiac hyper-trophy via blocking oxidative
stress-mediated pathways [63]. Isorhapontigenin inhibited
angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiac hypertrophy, which was
associated with a decrease in ROS levels and intracellular
malonaldehyde content and an increase of activi-ties of endogenous
antioxidants such as SOD and GPx. Ang II in-duced phosphorylation
of PKC, Erk1/2, JNK, and p38 was inhibited by isorhapontigenin. In
addition, PKC-dependent PI3KAktGSK3/p70S6K pathway was also blocked
by this resveratrol ana-log. Pretreatment with isorhapontigenin
dramatically inhibited Ang II-mediated NF-B through regulating the
degradation and phos-phorylation of IB and the activity of IKK and
AP-1 activation by affecting the expression of c-Fos and c-Jun
proteins. These re-sults were supported by further in vivo
evidence. In an aortic-banded rat model, isorhapontigenin treatment
significantly attenu-ated heart weight/body weight ratio by
approximately 25%, de-creased posterior wall thickness and left
ventricle diastolic and systolic diameters, increased 10%
fractional shortening, and re-duced cardiac myocyte size and
systolic blood pressure. Therefore isorhapontigenin could prevent
the development of cardiac hyper-trophy through an antioxidant
mechanism involving inhibition of different intracellular signaling
transduction pathways. It may be used as a supplemental
pharmacological agent for the prevention and treatment of cardiac
hypertrophy [63].
Recently, we have studied the neuroprotective effects of
parthenocissin A, a novel antioxidant and free radical scavenger,
using a transient MCAO model in rats, which was the first in vivo
therapeutic evidence of resveratrol oligomer [64]. MCAO rats
treated with parthenocissin A showed dose-dependent reductions in
brain infarction size with improved neurological and motor
out-come. Parthenocissin A treatment inhibited lipid peroxidation
and restored SOD activity in brain tissue. Furthermore, I/R induced
elevation of NO production and nitric oxide synthase (NOS)
activ-ity in brain tissue was also inhibited by parthenocissin A
treatment. These findings indicated that the beneficial effect of
parthenocissin A on neuroprotection was associated with a reduction
of oxidative stress and an inhibition of NO production. Our results
have opened new vistas in the potential use of resveratrol
oligomers in stroke prevention and therapy [64].
5. STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP
Investigation of the SAR of resveratrol and its derivatives is
important for the understanding of their mechanism of antioxidative
action and provide basis for designing compounds with better
anti-oxidant activities. It has been the subject attracting
medicinal chem-ists around the world in the past 15 years. As early
as 1997, the number and position of hydroxyl groups have been
revealed to play an important role in the antioxidant activity of
stilbenes [18b]. In 2001, there were two reports appeared almost at
the same time con-cerning the structural determinants of the
antioxidant activity of resveratrol. In the stationary -radiolytic
experiments in liposomes

and pulse radiolytic experiments in aqueous solutions,
trans-resveratrol and 4-hydroxy-trans-stilbene (4-HS) showed almost
the same effect and were much stronger than
3,5-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,5-DHS) (Fig. (9)). Thus, Stojanovi
et al. demonstrated that the para-hydroxyl group (Fig. (10)) made
greater contribution to the peroxyl radical scavenging activity of
resveratrol than the meta-hydroxyl groups (resorcinol group, Fig.
(10)) [65]. This con-clusion has been supported by Caruso et al.s
study using ab initio calculations and crystal structure of
resveratrol. Their results dem-onstrated that the para-hydroxyl
group is more acidic than the other two meta-hydroxyl groups, and
H-atom transfer is the dominant mechanism by which resveratrol and
its derivatives scavenge free radicals [66]. In another
investigation, the SAR study has been extended to the stereoisomery
and saturation of the stilbenic double bond of resveratrol. First,
the important role of the para-hydroxyl group has been confirmed in
this study. Nevertheless, it is clearly not the sole determinant
for antioxidant activity. The double bond in the stilbenic skeleton
and its transisomery are also important, since the cis-form and the
derivative, in which the double bond is reduced, are significantly
less effective than trans-resveratrol. In addition, partial
methylation decreases the antioxidant activity of resveratrol,
while complete methylation could cause significant loss of
antioxidant activity, indicating that phenolic hydroxyl group is
required [16]. These observations have been supported by another
study, where stilbenes with para-hydroxyl group showed better
antioxidant activities in both -carotene bleaching assay and
superoxide anions scavenging assay, while resveratrol analogs
without phenolic hydroxyl group did not have any antioxidative
effect [47].

Fig. (9). Monomeric trans-stilbenes for SAR investigations.
In 2002, Dr. Z. L. Lius lab has conducted a SAR investigation
using more resveratrol analogs. 4-HS, 3,5-DHS,
4,4-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene (4,4-DHS),
3,4-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,4-DHS),
3,4,5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,4,5-THS) and
3,4,4-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,4,4-THS) have been synthesized
(Fig. (9)). Their antioxidant activities against the peroxidation
of linoleic acid have been studied in sodiumdodecyl sulfate (SDS)
and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles to mimic the
microenviron-ment of biomembranes. In both assay systems, 3,4-DHS,
3,4,5-THS and 3,4,4-THS with ortho-dihydroxyl functionality showed
stronger inhibition on linoleic acid peroxidation than resveratrol
and molecules bearing no such functionality, which unveiling the
exceptional antioxidant power of ortho-dihydroxyl group (Also known
as catechol group (Fig. (10)). We herein propose a name
ortho-dihydroxyl rule for this phenomenon). This can be under-stood
because the ortho-hydroxyl phenoxyl radical, the oxidation
intermediate, is more stable due to the intramolecular hydrogen
bonding interaction, supported by both experiments [67] and
theo-retical calculations [68]. Furthermore, it is easier for the
ortho-hydroxyl phenoxyl radical to form the stable ortho-quinone in
the oxidation process. It is for a similar reason, that
para-hydroxyl group increase antioxidant activity by stabilizing
the semiquinone radical-anion intermediate via resonance through
the trans double bond. That is the reason why the antioxidant
activity of 3,4,4-THS, bearing both functionalities, was the best
among the tested com-pounds. Interestingly, resveratrol and its
derivatives can work alone or synergistically with -tocopherol in
the antioxidative action by trapping the propagating lipid peroxyl
radical and reducing the -tocopheroxyl radical to regenerate
-tocopherol [69]. In another investigation from the same lab,
antioxidant activities of 4-HS, 3,5-DHS, 4,4-DHS, 3,4-DHS, along
with resveratrol, have been evalu-ated for the free radical-induced
peroxidation of rat liver micro-somes in vitro. And the activity
sequence follows the order: 3,4-DHS > 4,4-DHS > resveratrol
> 4-HS > 3,5-DHS. Again, 3,4-DHS with catechol group showed
superior activity, which confirmed their previous conclusion [70].
The ortho-dihydroxyl rule is not restricted in the antioxidant
activity against lipid peroxidation, a SAR study by Murias et al.
has proved that it can also be applied to the O2
and DPPH scavenging activities. Stilbenes with catechol group or
3,4,5-trihydroxylbenzene group (pyrogallol group, Fig. (10)),
including 3,3',4',5-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,3',4',5-TTHS,
IC50=2.69 M), 3,4,4',5-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,4,4',5-TTHS,
IC50=41.5 M) and 3,3',4,4',5,5'-hexahydroxy-trans-stilbene
(3,3',4,4',5,5'-HHS, IC50=5.02 uM), exhibit a more than 6600-fold
higher antiradical activity than resveratrol and its two other
analogues, including 3,3,5,5-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene
(3,3,5,5-TTHS) and 3,3,4,5,5-pentahydroxy-trans-stilbene
(3,3,4,5,5-PHS) (Fig. (9)). Interestingly hydroxystilbenes with
catechol group or pyrogallol group exerted a more than
three-fold

higher cytotoxic activity than other analogs without the
functionali-ties in HL-60 leukemic cells, because oxidation of
ortho-dihydroxyl group yield ortho-semiquinones, which undergo
redox-cycling thereby consuming additional oxygen and forming
cytotoxic oxy-gen radicals. These findings suggest that the
cytostatic activities of resveratrol and its derivatives are linked
to their antioxidant activi-ties [71].
Furthermore, Mikulski et al. have recently reported the
quanti-tative structureantioxidant activity relationship of
resveratrol and its derivatives, including seven oligomers and five
glucosides [15]. Their free radical scavenging activities have been
calculated using the density functional theory. According to the
results, all oligomers and glucosides studied exhibit stronger
antioxidant activity than trans-resveratrol. A dimer of 4,4'-DHS is
stronger than its mono-mer. The H-atom transfer mechanism is more
preferable than the single-electron transfer mechanism, and all the
antioxidants showed higher ability to donate electron in water
medium than in the gas phase. Although these theoretical results
still await future experi-mental verification, the report has again
highlighted the remarkable antioxidant activity of resveratrol
derivatives and their potential therapeutic applications [15].
CONCLUSION
In the past 15 years, we have witnessed the research outbreak of
resveratrol, a natural antioxidant from red wine and grape, which
is under multiple clinical trials. Resveratrol has provided an
entrance to the medicinal investigations of an important group of
plant poly-phenols stilbene, where resveratrol derivatives have
shown in-triguing chemical diversity. Numerous reports have proved
resvera-trol derivatives to be a promising source of potent
antioxidants, while some have shown higher activity than
resveratrol. In recent years, in vivo studies of resveratrol
derivatives have highlighted their therapeutic potential in the
treatment in cerebral and cardio-vascular diseases, which is linked
to their remarkable antioxidant activities. They may also be used
as functional food supplements owing to their powerful antioxidant
capacities. Finally, we would like to propose the following points
to be considered in future in-vestigations:
(1) Screening of antioxidant capacity of resveratrol derivatives
should include trans-resveratrol as a screening criteria. More
interest should be directed towards compounds with higher ac-tivity
than trans-resveratrol.
(2) SAR studies have revealed the so-called ortho-dihydroxyl
rule, that stilbenes with ortho-dihydroxyl group possess higher
antioxidant activities. These compounds may have greater
therapeutic potential in future investigations.
(3) Different mechanisms have been observed when stilbenes react
with different ROS. For example, the resorcinol group plays a
predominant role in the quenching effect of resveratrol, while the
para-hydroxyl group is more effective in scavenging per-oxyl
radicals. Results from these mechanistic studies will pro-vide a
basis for future screening and drug design.
(4) Our previous reports have shown that resveratrol
derivatives, especially oligomers, are potent 1O2 quenchers.
Further investi-
gations of their applications in light-mediated diseases
includ-ing cataract, sunburn and skin cancers, are highly
recom-mended.
