Abstract:
The present study reports the cancer chemopreventive activities of phenyl polyyne diols derived from polyacetylene triol. Thirty-seven analogues based on a 1-phenylhexa-2,4-diyne-1,6-diol scaffold were prepared and their effects on QR activity were elucidated, as well as their cytotoxicities. We found that most of the derivatives based on phenylhexa-2,4-diyne-1,6-diol exhibited good QR induction activity and relatively low cytotoxicity and systemic structure-activity relationship was revealed. In particular, 4-fluorophenyl, 3-chlorophenyl, and 3,4-dioxolophenyl derivatives showed the best profiles in terms of QR induction, cytotoxicity, and CI.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and...

Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
