The invention belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a synthesis method and application of
teprenone, and the synthesis method of the
teprenone comprises the following steps: carrying out reduction reaction,
halogenation reaction, Witting reaction and oxidation reaction on farnesyl
acetone to obtain the
teprenone. The synthetic
route is simple, the experimental steps are few, and the prepared teprenone is high in yield and high in purity. Besides, the teprenone disclosed by the invention is mainly used in the field of
skin care with cosmetic
efficacy, and in a
fibroblast model, the teprenone can significantly up-regulate the expression quantity of
telomerase, TRF2, CDK2, CBX5 / HP1, SERTAD3 and ELAVL1 genes, and has an anti-
aging effect.
