Within this focused honokiol analogue library, a clear trend emerged at the 4′-oxygen position: the 4′- O -n-butyl analogue HK03 showed stronger inhibition of the YAP-TEAD interaction than analogues bearing shorter alkyl chains or cycloalkyl substituents, suggesting that an appropriate balance of hydrophobic bulk and conformational flexibility at this site is beneficial for activity.
