PROCESS TO OBTAIN DIBENZYLBUTYROLACTONIC, TETRAHYDROFURANIC LIGNANS AND THEIR SYNTHETIC AND SEMI-SYNTHETIC DERIVATIVES, THEIR ANALGESIC AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITIES, TOPICAL AND/OR SYSTEMIC FORMULATIONS CONTAINING SAID LIGNANS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE THERAPEUTIC METHOD

摘要

A process to obtain dibenzylbutyrolactonic lignans from (-)-cubebin, isolated from a Piperaceae, especially Piper cubeba, and from (-)-methylpluviatolide, isolated from a Rutacea, especially Zanthoxylum naranjillo; their synthetic and semi-synthetic derivatives and tetrahydrofuranic lignans, such as galgravin and veragensin, isolated from Nectandra megapotamica, as well as the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of said lignans, and the topical and/or systemic formulations. Also presented is a therapeutic method using topic and/or systemic formulations based on said lignans for the treatment of inflammation and/or pain. Further, a process to obtain synthetic and semi-synthetic derivatives of (-)-cubebin, such as: (-)-O-acetyl cubebin; (-)-O-methyl cubebin; (-)-O-(N,N-dimethylamino-ethyl)-cubebin; (-)-hinokinin; (-)- 6,6 '-dinitroinokinin; (-)-O-benzyl cubebin; (-)- 6,6 '-diaminohinokinin and other synthetic derivatives which may be obtained, and synthetic and semi-synthetic derivatives of (-)-methylpluviatolide, such as (-)- 6,6 '-dinitromethylpluviatolide and (-)- 6,6 '-diaminomethylpluviatolide, to be used in the manufacture of medicine that has analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity is presented.
