Trans-cis Photoisomerization of a Biomimetic Cyclocurcumin Analogue Rationalized by Molecular Modelling

Abstract: <div> <p>Cyclocurcumin is a natural compound extracted from turmeric and showing, in addition to antiinfective, antibacterial, and intinflammatory capabilities, solvent-dependent phtoswitching ability. The solvent-dependent photochemistry of cyclocurcumin has been rationalized on the basis of a competition between π-π* and n-π* states. Recently we have reported the synthesis of a biomimetic analogue showing enhanced photochemical properties and in particular presenting photoswitching capacity in… Show more

“…Except from water, all spectra exhibit three broad absorption peaks, centered at around 288, 327 and 374 nm, similar to the ones of natural cyclocurcumin 33 or CyP. 31,32 The highest and the lowest energy absorption band were assigned to the pp* transition of the phenyl-pyrone moiety and the styryl-pyrone moiety, respectively (Figure SI2-A), while the intermediate energy absorption band was assigned to an np* transition. This is consistent with the fact that the additional double bond in the pyrone cycle from CyP is not inducing any extension of the p-conjugation on the styryl-pyrone moiety, as compared to the dihydropyranone cycle from CC.…”

“…Instead, it is favoring an extension of the planarity from one extreme to the other of the molecule as already observed for the parent CyP compound. 31,32 A slight negative solvatochromism (Table SI1), accompanied by a narrowing of the vibrational band, is observed as solvent polarity decreases, and a slight dependency of the molar extinction coefficient (e, Table 1) with the solvent should be pointed out. Despite ultrasonication and addition of 2v% of DMSO, CyP-OBu was not fully solubilized in the water and therefore the value of e is underestimated for this solvent.…”
