Abstract
A terminal [NiII-OH] complex 1, supported by triflamide-functionalized NHC ligands, showed divergent reactivity for the reaction of sulfone with alcohol, contingent on base concentration, temperature, and time. Julia-type olefination of alcohols with sulfones was achieved using one equiv. of base, whereas lowering base loading to 0.5 equiv. afforded α-alkylated sulfones. Besides excellent substrate scope and selectivity, biologically active stilbene derivatives DMU-212, pinosylvin, resveratrol, and piceatannol were synthesized in high yield under Julia-type olefination conditions. An extensive array of controlled experiments and DFT calculations provide valuable insight on the reaction pathway.

Abstract
Schweinfurthins (SWs) are naturally occurring prenylated stilbenes with promising anticancer properties. They act through a novel mechanism of action similar to that of other families of natural compounds. Their known target, oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP), plays a crucial role in controlling the intracellular distribution of cholesterol. We synthesized 15 analogues of SWs and demonstrated for the first time that their cytotoxicity as well as that of natural derivatives correlates with their affinity for OSBP. Through this extensive SAR study, we selected one synthetic analogue obtained in one step from SW-G. Using its fluorescence properties, we showed that this compound recapitulates the effect of natural SW-G in cells and confirmed that it leads to cell death via the same mechanism. Finally, after pilot PK experiments, we provided the first evidence of its in vivo efficacy in combination with temozolomide in a patient-derived glioblastoma xenograft model.

Therapeutic Potential of 5'-Methylschweinfurthin G in Merkel Cell Polyomavirus-Positive Merkel Cell Carcinoma. Viruses 2022; 14:v14091848.

Abstract
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but aggressive form of skin cancer predominantly caused by the human Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). Treatment for MCC includes excision and radiotherapy of local disease, and chemotherapy or immunotherapy for metastatic disease. The schweinfurthin family of natural compounds previously displayed potent and selective growth inhibitory activity against the NCI-60 panel of human-derived cancer cell lines. Here, we investigated the impact of schweinfurthin on human MCC cell lines. Treatment with the schweinfurthin analog, 5'-methylschweinfurth G (MeSG also known as TTI-3114), impaired metabolic activity through induction of an apoptotic pathway. MeSG also selectively inhibited PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways in the MCPyV-positive MCC cell line, MS-1. Interestingly, expression of the MCPyV small T (sT) oncogene selectively sensitizes mouse embryonic fibroblasts to MeSG. These results suggest that the schweinfurthin family of compounds display promising potential as a novel therapeutic option for virus-induced MCCs.

Heterologous biosynthesis of prenylated resveratrol and evaluation of antioxidant activity. Food Chem 2022; 378:132118.

Abstract
Prenylated stilbenoids are good candidates of nutraceuticals presented in food resources. The levels of natural prenylated stilbenoids are usually low. Biotransformation is a promising synthesis strategy to produce novel bioactive compounds. However, information regarding biosynthesis of prenylated stilbenoids is rare. In this work, prenyltransferase and geranyl diphosphate biosynthesispathway were overexpressed in E. coli. Multiple prenyltransferase genes were tested and Ambp1 was found to be effective on resveratrol geranylation. The products were identified by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as 4-C-geranyl resveratrol (1) and 3-O-geranyl resveratrol (2, novel chemical). By optimization of culture conditions, a yield of 36.9% was achieved for the conversion to geranylated resveratrol from resveratrol. These two compounds demonstrated good antioxidant activities with IC50 values of 28.09 μM for 4-C-geranyl resveratrol and 403.88 μM for 3-O-geranyl resveratrol. The results were helpful for developing novel technique to produce prenylated phenolics.

Abstract
Stilbenes are some of the important phenolic compounds originating from plant families like Vitaceae, Leguminaceae, Gnetaceae, and Dipterocarpaceae. Structurally, they have a C6-C2-C6 skeleton, usually with two isomeric forms. Stilbenes are biosynthesized due to biotic and abiotic stresses such as microbial infections, high temperatures, and oxidation. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of stilbenes' botanical sources, chemistry, biosynthetic pathways, pharmacology, and clinical applications and challenges based on up-to-date data. All included studies were collected from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and CNKI, and the presented data from these indexed studies were analyzed and summarized. A total of 459 natural stilbene compounds from 45 plant families and 196 plant species were identified. Pharmacological studies also show that stilbenes have various activities such as anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-degenerative diseases, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, anti-aging, and cardioprotective effects. Stilbene synthase (STS) is the key enzyme involved in stilbene biosynthetic pathways. Studies on the therapeutic application of stilbenes pinpoint that challenges such as low bioavailability and isomerization are the major bottlenecks for their development as therapeutic drugs. Although the medicinal uses of several stilbenes have been demonstrated in vivo and in vitro, studies on the development of stilbenes deserve more attention in the future.

Abstract
The natural schweinfurthins are stilbenes with significant antiproliferative activity and an uncertain mechanism of action. To obtain a fluorescent analogue with minimal deviation from the natural structure, a coumarin ring system was annulated to the D-ring, creating a new analogue of schweinfurthin F. This stilbene was prepared through a convergent synthesis, with a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons condensation employed to form the central stilbene olefin. After preparation of a tricyclic phosphonate via a recent and more efficient modification of the classic Arbuzov reaction, condensation was attempted with an appropriately substituted bicyclic aldehyde but the coumarin system did not survive the reaction conditions. When olefin formation preceded generation of the coumarin, the stilbene formation proceeded smoothly and ultimately allowed access to the targeted coumarin-based schweinfurthin analogue. This analogue displayed the desired fluorescence properties along with significant biological activity in the National Cancer Institute's 60-cell line bioassay, and the pattern of this biological activity mirrored that of the natural product schweinfurthin F. This approach gives facile access to new fluorescent analogues of the natural schweinfurthins and should be applicable to other natural stilbenes as well.
