Abstract

Abstract Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of novel diarylheptanoids [5-hydroxy-1- phenyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-heptan-3-ones and 1-phenyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl) hept-4-en-3-ones] as inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production is described in the present article. The key reactions involve the formation of a β-hydroxyketone by the reaction of substituted 4- phenyl butan-2-ones with pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde in presence of LDA and the ...
