RT journal article T1 Phorbol Diesters and 12-Deoxy-16-hydroxyphorbol 13,16-Diesters Induce TGF alpha Release and Adult Mouse Neurogenesis A1 Ezzanad, Abdellah A1 Gómez Oliva, Ricardo A1 Escobar Montaño, Felipe A1 Díez Salguero, Mónica A1 Geribaldi Doldán, Noelia A1 Domínguez García, Samuel A1 Botubol Ares, José Manuel A1 Reyes Jiménez, Carolina de los A1 Durán Patrón, Rosa María A1 Nunez Abades, Pedro A1 Macías Sánchez, Antonio José A1 Castro González, Carmen A1 Hernández Galán, Rosario A2 BiomedicinaBiotecnología y Salud Pública A2 Química Orgánica AB A small library of phorbol 12,13-diesters bearing low lipophilicity ester chains was prepared as potential neurogenic agents in the adult brain. They were also used in a targeted UHPLC-HRMS screening of the latex of Euphorbia resinifera. Two new 12-deoxy-16-hydroxyphorbol 13,16-diesters were isolated, and their structures were deduced using two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy and NOE experiments. The ability of natural and synthetic compounds to stimulate transforming growth factor alpha (TFG alpha) release, to increase neural progenitor cell proliferation, and to stimulate neurogenesis was evaluated. All compounds that facilitated TGF alpha release promoted neural progenitor cell proliferation. The presence of two acyloxy moieties on the tigliane skeleton led to higher levels of activity, which decreased when a free hydroxyl group was at C-12. Remarkably, the compound bearing isobutyryloxy groups was the most potent on the TGF alpha assay and at inducing neural progenitor cell proliferation in vitro, also leading to enhanced neurogenesis in vivo when administered intranasally to mice.
