1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

An extract of Eudistoma sp. provided eudistidine C (1), a heterocyclic alkaloid with a novel molecular framework. Eudistidine C (1) is a racemic natural product composed of a tetracyclic core structure further elaborated with a p-methoxyphenyl group and a phenol-substituted aminoimidazole moiety. This compound presented significant structure elucidation challenges due to the large number of heteroatoms and fully substituted carbons. These issues were mitigated by application of a new NMR pulse sequence (LR-HSQMBC) optimized to detect four- and five-bond heteronuclear correlations and the use of computer-assisted structure elucidation software. Synthesis of eudistidine C (1) was accomplished in high yield by treating eudistidine A (2) with 4(2-amino-1H-imidazol-5-yl)phenol (4) in DMSO. Synthesis of eudistidine C (1) confirmed the proposed structure and provided material for further biological characterization. Treatment of 2 with various nitrogen heterocycles and electron-rich arenes provided a series of analogues (5-10) of eudistidine C. Chiral-phase HPLC resolution of epimeric eudistidine C provided (+)-(R)-eudistidine C (1a) and (-)-(S)-eudistidine C (1b). The absolute configuration of these enantiomers was assigned by ECD analysis. (-)-(S)-Eudistidine C (1b) modestly inhibited interaction between the protein binding domains of HIF-1α and p300. Compounds 1, 2, and 6-10 exhibited significant antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum.
