Abstract

Thirteen resveratrol (=5-[(E)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]benzene-1,3-diol) analogues with a CHO group have been prepared by partial synthesis from resveratrol. The synthesized compounds have been evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against a human nasopharyngeal epidermoid tumor cell line KB, as well as for their xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity. Compounds 2, 3, and 6a showed the most significant cytotoxic activities against the cell line KB, and compound 2 also exhibited strong xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity.
