Novel Hybrid Molecules Based on (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate as Potent Anti-adipogenic Agents

초록

A series of novel (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-phloroglucinol hybrid compounds 1-4 has been successfully synthesized by employing a simple and efficient methodology using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma irradiation. The new hybrid structures were determined by interpretation of spectroscopic data, with the absolute configurations being established by analysis of the circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The novel hybrids 1 and 2 showed highly improved anti-adipogenic potencies toward both pancreatic lipase and preadipocytes differentiation in 3T3-L1 compared to the original EGCG and phloroglucinol. A novel hybrid 1 represent an interesting subclass of anti-adipogenic candidates that need further research.
