Embodiment 1

[0167] A. Materials and methods

[0168] Commercially available curcumin (Aldrich) containing minor fractions 2 and 3 was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, CHCl 3 -MeOH), to obtain compound 1-3. Compounds 39-44 were purchased from Aldrich, Inc (Milwaukee, WI).

[0169] Dimethyl Curcumin (4)

[0170] The Et of curcumin (1) 2 The O and MeOH solutions were treated with excess diazomethane in ether for 24 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography and PLC to obtain yellow needles of 4 (yield 19.8%);

[0230] Synthesis and Characterization of Other Curcuminoid Analogs

[0231] Other curcumin analogues are shown in Table 1 below.

[0232] Table 1. Curcumin analogues

[0233]

[0234]

[0235]

[0236]

[0237] The aforementioned compounds are synthesized as follows:

[0238]

[0239] The synthetic method was improved with the strategy developed by Pedersen et al. Acetylacetone (0.2ml, 2mmol) and boric anhydride (100mg, 1.4mmol) were dissolved in 15ml ethyl acetate. The solution was stirred at 70°C for 0.5 hours. 5-Hydroxymethylfuran (506mg, 4mmol) and tributyl borate (1.08ml, 4mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred for 30 min. A solution of butylamine (0.3ml, 3mmol) in EtOAc (4ml) was then added dropwise over 15min. Stirring was continued at 85°C for 5 hours. The mixture was then hydrolyzed by adding 8 ml of 1N HCl and stirring at 60°C for 0.5 hours. The organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined o...
