Hits-to-lead optimization of the natural compound 2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-geranyl-acetophenone (tHGA) as a potent LOX Inhibitor: synthesis, structure-activity relationship (SAR) study and computational assignment

A new series of 2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-geranyl-acetophenone (tHGA) analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitory activity. Prenylated analogues 4a–g (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values ranging from 35 μ M to 95 μ M) did not exhibit better inhibitory ac...
