Synthesis of Some Phenylpropanoid Glycosides (PPGs) and Their Acetylcholinesterase/Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitory Activities

Abstract

In this research, three categories of phenylpropanoid glycosides (PPGs) were designed and synthesized with PPGs isolated from Rhodiola rosea L. as lead compounds. Their inhibitory abilities toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and xanthine oxidase (XOD) were also tested. Some of the synthetic PPGs exhibited excellent enzyme inhibitory abilities.
