ABSTRACT

Twenty-one caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) derivatives were synthesized, and characterized by IR, HR-MS, (1)H and (13)C NMR analyses. All compounds were evaluated for their cytoprotective effects against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity and neuritogenic activities in the neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Compounds 1 and 20 exhibited stronger cytoprotective activities than their parent compound CAPE at 4 nM. Compounds 1, 4, 12 and 13 showed potential neuritogenic activities at 0.5 nM, while compounds 19 and 20 induced neurite outgrowth at 10 nM. The results from this study suggested that CAPE and its derivatives may be potential functional food ingredients for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.
