Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Feb 15;19(4):1118-21. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.12.108. Epub 2009 Jan 3.

Abstract

Novel cinnamoyl and caffeoyl clusters were synthesized by multiple Cu(I)-catalyzed [1,3]-dipolar cycloadditions and their anti-5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity was tested. Caffeoyl cluster showed an improved 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity compared to caffeic acid, with caffeoyl trimer 16 and tetramer 19 showing the best 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity.
