Abstract:
Salidroside is a phenylpropanoid glycoside isolated from Rhodiola rosea L., a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, and has displayed a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. In this paper, about 18 novel salidroside analogues were prepared through Koenigs-Knorr method, the effects of these compounds over PC12 was assessed with the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. The novel compounds differ in the substituents attached to the benzene ring or in the glycosyl donor. According to the data, compounds (3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl β-D-glucopyranoside and (3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl β-D-galactopyranoside with methoxy group at 3 and 5-positions of the benzene ring were the most viability at concentration of 300 µmol/l and 60 µmol/l, respectively.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
