Abstract
Resveratrol (3,4’,5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a natural phytoalexin found in grapes and wine, which has been extensively studied for a wide range of biological effects. A large number of stilbene-containing derivatives have displayed antioxidant and antiproliferative activities on various cancer cell lines. In this study, a series of stilbene hybrids 1-9, previously reported as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists, were assessed at micromolar concentrations using MTT cell viability assay in C2C12 and MCF7 cell lines. The modulation of oxidative stress was also evaluated by measuring the protective effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced or not by oxidative stimulus. Among these, compounds 2 and 8 showed significant radical scavenging activity.
