2. Cafeetannins are naturaly occurring polyphenolic caffeoyl- quinic acid derivatives.One of these compounds, methyl 3,4-dic- affeoylquinate,was found to be inhibitory toward platelet aggr- egation and thromboxane biosynthesis on human platelet. Therefore, several analoques modeled after methyl 3,4-dicaffeoylquinate were prepared by chemical synthesis in order to evaluate the relationship between their structures and antiplatelet and the thromboxane formation inhibitory activity. The acyl chloride derivatives of the substituted cinnamic acids, were reacted with a series dihydroxyl or trihydroxyl compounds of alcohols and phenols to yield 22 cinnamic acid esters. They are 1,3-dicinnamoylpropanediols (1),(2) and (3), 1,2-dicinnamoylpropanediols (4),(5) and (6),1,2-dicinnamoyl- cyclohexanediols (7),(8) and (9),1,2-dicinnamoylglycerol (10), (11) and (12),methyl 3,4-dicinnamoylbenzoates (13),(14) and (15), methyl 3,4,5-tricinnamoylgallates (16),(17) and (18), methyl 3,4-dicinnamoyl-5-methoxybenzoates (19),(20) and (21), 1,3-dicaffeoylpropanediol (22). The structures of these 22 compounds are consistant with the spectral data (UV, IR, PMR, CMR and Mass). The evaluation of platelet aggregation inhibitory activity is under investi- gated.
