Résumé

Phenylethanoid glycosides are a well-studied class of bioactive compounds found throughout the plant kingdom. In contrast, research on the synthesis and pharmacological activity of phenacyl glycosides, a specific subgroup of phenylethanoid glycosides with a ketone functionality at the alpha position of the phenol ring, has been limited. In this study, we report the synthesis, cytotoxic, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory evaluation of a series of 18 4′-hydroxyphenacyl glycosides. These compounds consist of six different sugar residues (β-D-glucose, β-D-galactose, α-L-arabinose, β-D-xylose, α-L-rhamnose, and β-D-glucuronic acid) and display three distinct methoxylation patterns at the phenacyl ring, similar to the substitution motifs of anthocyanins. We obtained the target phenacyl glycosides in high yield and stereoselectivity through the coupling of benzoyl-protected trichloroacetimidate glycosyl donors and corresponding acetophenones. Our work represents the first total synthesis of the natural products 4′-hydroxyphenacyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and 4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxyphenacyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (2). None of the phenacyl glycosides showed cytotoxicity against the tested cell lines. Notably, several of the synthesized compounds exhibited antiviral activity, with natural product 2 being the most active against herpes simplex virus type 1, while phenacyl arabinoside 9 and natural product 2 were the most active against human coronavirus OC43. Natural product 2 significantly inhibited the production of interleukin-6 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglia cells. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of the sugar residue and phenacyl ring substitution pattern in modulating the antiviral activity of phenacyl glycosides. Natural product 2 and phenacyl arabinoside 9 emerge as promising leads for the development of antiviral agents.
