    摘要: method for decarboxylating a carboxylated phytocannabinoid compound of Formula I to form a phytocannabinoid compound of Formula II: Formula I Formula II wherein: R1 is selected from the group consisting of: substituted or unsubstituted C1-C5 alkyl; R2 is selected from the group consisting of: OH or O, and R3 is selected from the group consisting of: a substituted or unsubstituted cyclohexene, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C8 alkene, or a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C8 dialkene; or R2 is O, and R2 and R3 together form a ring structure in which R2 is an internal ring atom; wherein the method includes heating a reaction mixture comprising the carboxylated phytocannabinoid compound and a polar aprotic solvent in the presence of a LiCl for a time sufficient to decarboxylate at least a portion of the carboxylated phytocannabinoid compounds and form the phytocannabinoid compound.

    摘要: The present invention implements a strategy that combines an enzyme inhibition assay with a chemical dereplication process to identify active plant extracts and the particular compounds—diarylalkanes and/or diarylalkanols within those extracts that specifically inhibit binuclear enzyme function. Included in the present invention are compositions of matter comprised of one or more of diarylalkanes and/or diarylalkanols, which inhibit the activity of binuclear enzymes, particularly tyrosinase and which prevent melanin overproduction. The present invention also provides a method for inhibiting the activity of a binuclear enzyme, particularly tyrosinase and a method for preventing and treating diseases and conditions related to binuclear enzyme function. The present invention further includes a method for preventing and treating melanin overproduction and diseases and conditions of the skin related thereto. The method for preventing and treating diseases and conditions related to binuclear enzyme function and melanin overproduction is comprised of administering to a host in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more diarylalkanes and/or diarylalkanols synthesized and/or isolated from one or more plants together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

    摘要: A method for purifying a material, the method comprising: a step of preparing a solution comprising a solvent and at least one material selected from the group consisting of a compound represented by the following formula (1A) and a resin having a structure represented by the following formula (2A); and a step of purification in which the solution is passed through a filter: wherein, X represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a single bond, or non-crosslinked state; Ra represents a 2n-valent group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms or a single bond; each Rb independently represents one of various functional groups; each m is independently an integer of 0 to 9; n is an integer of 1 to 4; and each p is independently an integer of 0 to 2; provided that at least one Rb represents a group comprising one selected from a hydroxyl group and a thiol group, and all m cannot be 0 at the same time; wherein, X, Ra, Rb, n and p are the same as defined in the formula (1A); Rc represents a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms; each m2 is independently an integer of 0 to 8; provided that at least one Rb represents a group comprising one or more selected from a hydroxyl group and a thiol group, and all m2 cannot be 0 at the same time.
