A New Geniposidic Acid Derivative Exerts Antiaging Effects through Antioxidative Stress and Autophagy Induction.

ABSTRACT: Two compounds that can prolong the replicative lifespan of yeast, geniposidic acid (Compound 1) and geniposide (Compound 2), were isolated from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Compared with Compound 1, Compound 2 was different at C11 and showed better bioactivity. On this basis, seven new geniposidic derivatives (3-9) were synthesized. Geniposidic 4-isoamyl ester (8, GENI), which remarkably prolonged the replicative and chronological lifespans of K6001 yeast at 1 µM, was used as the lead compound. Autophagy and antioxidative stress were examined to clarify the antiaging mechanism of GENI. GENI increased the enzymes activities and gene expression levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced the contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) to improve the survival rate
