Resveratrol, a natural product with a stilbene structure, exerts profound proapoptotic activity in human cancer cells, by triggering the accumulation of ceramide, a bioactive sphingolipid. We studied the biological effects of seven methoxylated and/or naphthalene-based resveratrol analogues and compared these compounds with resveratrol with the objective to identify an analogue with higher ceramide-mediated proapoptotic activity relative to resveratrol. Here we show that the compound with three hydroxyls and a naphthalene ring is the most effective in triggering apoptosis coupled to the induction of endogenous ceramide in human cancer cells.
