Over the last few decades, resveratrol has gained significance due to its impressive array of biological activities; however, its true potential as a drug has been severely constrained by its poor bioavailability. Indeed, several studies have implicated this bioavailability trait as a major roadblock to resveratrol's potential clinical applications. To mitigate this pharmacokinetic issue, we envisioned a tactical bioisosteric modification of resveratrol to bicyclo[1.1.1]-pentane (BCP) resveratrol. Relying on the beneficial bioisosteric potential demonstrated by the BCP-scaffold, we hypothesized that BCP resveratrol would have an inherently better in vivo PK profile as compared to its natural counterpart. To validate such a hypothesis, it was necessary to secure a synthetic access to this novel structure. Herein we describe the first synthesis of BCP-resveratrol and disclose its PK properties.
