- Synthesis and evaluation of selenoflavones that have potential neuroprotective effects
-
We synthesized selenoflavones and evaluated their physicochemical properties and antioxidant effects. When oxygen was substituted with selenium, the compounds exhibited improved polarity and lipophilicity, implying that this change could lead to better BBB penetration. Selenoflavones revealed more potent antioxidant activity in our in-vitro assay. This suggests that selenoflavones would be more druggable than flavones and have a better potential as a neuroprotective agent.

- Anti-glycation, carbonyl trapping and anti-inflammatory activities of chrysin derivatives
-
The aim of this study was searching anti-glycation, carbonyl trapping and anti-inflammatory activities of chrysin derivatives. The inhibitory effect of chrysin on advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) was investigated by trapping methylglyoxal (MGO), and MGO-conjugated adducts of chrysin were analyzed using LC-MS/MS. The mono- or di-MGO-conjugated adducts of chrysin were present at 63.86 and 29.69% upon 48 h of incubation at a chrysin:MGO ratio of 1:10. The MGO adducted positions on chrysin were at carbon 6 or 6 & 8 in the A ring by classic aldol condensation. To provide applicable knowledge for developing chrysin derivatives as AGE inhibitors, we synthesized several O-alkyl or ester derivatives of chrysin and compared their AGE formation inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, and water solubility characteristics. The results showed that 5,7-di-O-acetylchrysin possessed higher AGE inhibitory and water solubility qualities than original chrysin, and retained the anti-inflammation activity. These results suggested that 5,7-di-O-acetylchrysin could be a potent functional food ingredient as an AGE inhibitor and anti-inflammatory agent, and promotes the development of the use of chrysin in functional foods.

- Discovery of human TyrRS inhibitors by structure-based virtual screening, structural optimization, and bioassays
-
The human tyrosyl transfer-RNA (tRNA) synthetase (TyrRS), which is well known for its essential aminoacylation function in protein synthesis, has been shown to translocate to the nucleus and protect against DNA damage caused by external stimuli. Small molecules that can fit into the active site pocket of TyrRS are thought to affect the nuclear role. The exploitation of TyrRS inhibitors has attracted attention recently. In this investigation, we adopted a structure-based virtual screening strategy and subsequent structure-activity relationship analysis to discover new TyrRS inhibitors, and identified a potent compound 5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-bis((3-hydroxyphenyl)thio)-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (compound 11, Ki = 8.8 μM). In intact HeLa cells, this compound showed a protective effect against DNA damage. Compound 11 is a good lead compound for the further development of drugs against disorders caused by DNA damage.

- Flavonoid-based inhibitors of the Phi-class glutathione transferase from black-grass to combat multiple herbicide resistance
-
The evolution and growth of multiple-herbicide resistance (MHR) in grass weeds continues to threaten global cereal production. While various processes can contribute to resistance, earlier work has identified the phi class glutathione-S-transferase (AmGSTF1) as a functional biomarker of MHR in black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides). This study provides further insights into the role of AmGSTF1 in MHR using a combination of chemical and structural biology. Crystal structures of wild-type AmGSTF1, together with two specifically designed variants that allowed the co-crystal structure determination with glutathione and a glutathione adduct of the AmGSTF1 inhibitor 4-chloro-7-nitro-benzofurazan (NBD-Cl) were obtained. These studies demonstrated that the inhibitory activity of NBD-Cl was associated with the occlusion of the active site and the impediment of substrate binding. A search for other selective inhibitors of AmGSTF1, using ligand-fishing experiments, identified a number of flavonoids as potential ligands. Subsequent experiments using black-grass extracts discovered a specific flavonoid as a natural ligand of the recombinant enzyme. A series of related synthetic flavonoids was prepared and their binding to AmGSTF1 was investigated showing a high affinity for derivatives bearing a O-5-decyl-α-carboxylate. Molecular modelling based on high-resolution crystal structures allowed a binding pose to be defined which explained flavonoid binding specificity. Crucially, high binding affinity was linked to a reversal of the herbicide resistance phenotype in MHR black-grass. Collectively, these results present a nature-inspired new lead for the development of herbicide synergists to counteract MHR in weeds. This journal is

- Discovery of polymethoxyflavones as potential cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) inhibitors
-
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely prescribed to treat inflammatory-related diseases, pain and fever. However, the prolong use of traditional NSAIDs leads to undesirable side effects such as gastric, ulceration, and renal toxicity due to lack of selectivity toward respective targets for COX-2, 5-LOX, and PDE4B. Thus, targeting multiple sites can reduce these adverse effects of the drugs and increase its potency. A series of methoxyflavones (F1–F5) were synthesized and investigated for their anti-inflammatory properties through molecular docking and inhibition assays. Among these flavones, only F2 exhibited selectivity toward COX-2 (Selectivity Index, SI: 3.90, COX-2 inhibition: 98.96 ± 1.47%) in comparison with celecoxib (SI: 7.54, COX-2 inhibition: 98.20 ± 2.55%). For PDEs, F3 possessed better selectivity to PDE4B (SI: 4.67) than rolipram (SI: 0.78). F5 had the best 5-LOX inhibitory activity among the flavones (33.65 ± 4.74%) but less than zileuton (90.81 ± 0.19%). Docking analysis indicated that the position of methoxy group and the substitution of halogen play role in determining the bioactivities of flavones. Interestingly, F1–F5 displayed favorable pharmacokinetic profiles and acceptable range of toxicity (IC50>70 μM) in cell lines with the exception for F1 (IC50: 16.02 ± 1.165 μM). This study generated valuable insight in designing new anti-inflammatory drug based on flavone scaffold. The newly synthesized flavones can be further developed as future therapeutic agents against inflammation.

- Biotransformation of 5,7-Methoxyflavones by Selected Entomopathogenic Filamentous Fungi
-
5,7-Dimethoxyflavone, a chrysin derivative, occurs in many plants and shows very low toxicity, even at high doses. On the basis of this phenomenon, we biotransformed a series of methoxy-derivatives of chrysin, apigenin, and tricetin obtained by chemical synthesis. We used entomopathogenic fungal strains with the confirmed ability of simultaneous hydroxylation/demethylation and glycosylation of flavonoid compounds. Both the amount and the place of attachment of the methoxy group influenced the biotransformation rate and the product's amount nascent. Based on product and semi-product structures, it can be concluded that they are the result of cascading transformations. Only in the case of 5,7,3′,4′,5′-pentamethoxyflavone, the strains were able to attach a sugar molecule in place of the methoxy substituent to give 3′-O-β-d-(4″-O-methylglucopyranosyl)-5,7,4′,5′-tetramethoxyflavone. However, we observed the tested strains' ability to selectively demethylate/hydroxylate the carbon C-3′ and C-4′ of ring B of the substrates used. The structures of four hydroxyl-derivatives were determined: 4′-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxyflavone, 3′-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxyflavone, 3′-hydroxy-5,7,4′,5′-tetramethoxyflavone, and 5,7-dimethoxy-3′,4′-dihydroxyflavone (5,7-dimethoxy-luteolin).

- Scope and Mechanism of the Ruthenium-Catalyzed Dehydrative C-H Coupling of Phenols with α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds: Expedient Synthesis of Chromene and Benzoxacyclic Derivatives
-
Chromene and benzoxacyclic derivatives were efficiently synthesized from the ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrative C-H coupling reaction of phenols with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The cationic ruthenium-hydride complex was found to be an effective catalyst for the coupling and annulation of phenols with enals to form chromene products. The coupling of phenols with linear enones afforded 2,4-disubstituted chromene derivatives, whereas the analogous coupling with cyclic enones yielded 9-hydroxybenzoxazole products. The reaction of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with PhCH=CHCDO resulted in the chromene product with a significant H/D exchange to both benzylic and vinyl positions. The most significant carbon isotope effect from the coupling of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with 4-methoxycinnamaldehyde was observed on the α-olefinic carbon of the chromene product (C(2) = 1.067). A Hammett plot from the coupling of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with para-substituted p-X-C6H4CH=CHCHO displayed a linear correlation, with a strong promotional effect by an electron-withdrawing group (ρ = +1.5; X = OCH3, CH3, H, F, Cl). Several biologically active chromenone derivatives were synthesized by using the catalytic coupling method. The catalytic method provides an expedient synthetic protocol for the coupling of phenols with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds without employing reactive reagents or forming any wasteful byproducts.

In an effort to identify novel anti-inflammatory compounds, a series of flavone derivatives were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their inhibitory effects on the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), representative pro-inflammatory mediators, in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Their structure-activity relationship was also investigated. In particular, we found that compound 3g displayed more potent inhibitory activities on PGE2 production, similar inhibitory activities on NO production and less weak cytotoxicity than luteolin, a natural flavone known as a potent anti-inflammatory agent.

- Unveiling the 6,8-Rearrangement in 8-Phenyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavylium and 8-Methyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavylium through Host–Guest Complexation
-
8-Phenyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavylium and 8-methyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavylium were synthesized to observe the 6,8-rearrangement. 8-Phenyl and 8-methyl residues were introduced by Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of 8-iodochrysin, then reduced by LiAlH4 to give the corresponding 3-deoxyanthocyanidins. At pH 1.0 the stable form is the 8-substituted flavylium cation in both compounds. At higher pH values the quinoidal bases are the stable species and some evidence for the 6,8-rearrangement was obtained, but the respective spectral variations are very small. This was overcome by using a modified cyclodextrin (captisol), which favors the formation of the trans-chalcone at the expense of the quinoidal bases. The trans-chalcone was isolated and dissolved in CD3OD/DCl (pD + m/z 253). The 6-isomer slowly reverts to the most stable 8-isomer. The 6,8-rearrangement was also observed after irradiation of the trans-chalcone (in the presence of captisol) at pH 5. Acidification of this photostationary state gave a mixture of both flavylium cations. The UV/Vis absorption of the flavylium cation (6-isomer) was blueshifted in comparison to the 8-isomer.

- Novel synthesised flavone derivatives provide significant insight into the structural features required for enhanced anti-proliferative activity
-
With many cancers showing resistance to current chemotherapies, the search for novel anti-cancer agents is attracting considerable attention. Natural flavonoids have been identified as useful leads in such programmes. However, since an in-depth understanding of the structural requirements for optimum activity is generally lacking, further research is required before the full potential of flavonoids as anti-proliferative agents can be realised. Herein a broad library of 76 methoxy and hydroxy flavones, and their 4-thio analogues, was constructed and their structure-activity relationships for anti-proliferative activity against the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 (ER +ve), MCF-7/DX (ER +ve, anthracycline resistant) and MDA-MB-231 (ER -ve) were probed. Within this library, 42 compounds were novel, and all compounds were afforded in good yields and >95% purity. The most promising lead compounds, specifically the novel hydroxy 4-thioflavones 15f and 16f, were further evaluated for their anti-proliferative activities against a broader range of cancer cell lines by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), USA and displayed significant growth inhibition profiles (e.g. compound-15f: MCF-7 (GI50 = 0.18 μM), T-47D (GI50 = 0.03 μM) and MDA-MB-468 (GI50 = 0.47 μM) and compound-16f: MCF-7 (GI50 = 1.46 μM), T-47D (GI50 = 1.27 μM) and MDA-MB-231 (GI50 = 1.81 μM)). Overall, 15f and 16f exhibited 7-46 fold greater anti-proliferative potency than the natural flavone chrysin (2d). A systematic structure-activity relationship study against the breast cancer cell lines highlighted that free hydroxyl groups and the B-ring phenyl groups were essential for enhanced anti-proliferative activities. Substitution of the 4-CO functionality with a 4-CS functionality, and incorporation of electron withdrawing groups at C-4′ of the B-ring phenyl, also enhanced activity. Molecular docking and mechanistic studies suggest that the anti-proliferative effects of flavones 15f and 16f are mediated via ER-independent cleavage of PARP and downregulation of GSK-3β for MCF-7 and MCF-7/DX cell lines. For the MDA-MB-231 cell line, restoration of the wild-type p53 DNA binding activity of mutant p53 tumour suppressor gene was indicated.

-
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a flavonoids compound in one step by virtue of catalysis of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium oxometallate. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: sequentially adding raw material benzaldehyde or benzaldehyde derivatives, raw material 2-hydroxyacetophenone or 2-hydroxyacetophenone derivatives, an ion liquid catalyst and an organic solvent into a reactor, stirring, heating to 50 to 90 DEG C, reacting for 2 to 7 hours at a constant temperature by taking oxygen or air as an oxidant, cooling, distilling under reduced pressure, carrying out the column chromatography, and re-crystallizing and separating to obtain the target product flavonoids compound. The method has the characteristics that the ion liquid is used as the catalyst, the yield of the flavonoids compound synthesized in one step reaches 85 percent or more, therefore, compared with the traditional synthetic method, the reaction flow is shortened, and the synthetic efficiency of the flavonoids compound is remarkably improved. The method has advantages of high product yield, low production cost, simple operation procedures, moderate reaction conditions and the like and is proved to be a novel method for high-efficiently synthesizing the flavonoids compound.

- Development of a concise synthesis of the flavonoid chrysin
-
Two novel routes for the synthesis of the flavonoid chrysin are described. In the first, 3,5-dimethoxyphenol (taxicatigenin) was converted to 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone and then by condensation with benzaldehyde to 2'-hydroxy-4',6'-dimethoxychalcone. The latter was cyclised with iodine and demethylated with pyridine hydrochloride to form chrysin in 50% overall yield. In the second route, taxicatigenin was acylated with cinnamoyl chloride to form a chalcone under special conditions. This was then converted to chrysin in 42% and 56% overall yield, respectively. Several disadvantages of previous syntheses like long reaction time, tedious work-up and low overall yield have been overcome.

-
A metal-free synthesis for the preparation of sterically demanding ortho-demethylated ynones from mixed anhydrides and potassium alkynyltrifluoroborate salts has been developed. The one-pot reaction proceeds rapidly in the presence of a Lewis acid without the exclusion of air and moisture. This method is advantageous in that it is operationally simple, proceeds under mild conditions, and has a broad substrate scope. 2,6-Dimethoxy substituted anhydrides afford the corresponding mono-demethylated ynone products in good yields. In particular, 2-hydroxy substituted ynone products are valuable synthetic intermediates because their conversion to biologically active natural product scaffolds is straightforward. Flavones were obtained via 6-endo cyclization of the o-alkynyoylphenol intermediates under acidic conditions. Cesium carbonate was found to promote rapid 5-exo cyclization to furnish aurone products.

In the first 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene was converted to 2-hydroxy-4,6- dimethoxyacetophenone and then by condensation with benzaldehyde to 2′-hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxychalcone. The latter was cyclised with iodine and demethylated with pyridine hydrochloride to form chrysin in 53% overall yield. In the second route, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene was acylated with cinnamic acid to form the chalcone which was then converted to chrysin in 30.7% overall yield.

- Ferrocenyl flavonoid-induced morphological modifications of endothelial cells and cytotoxicity against B16 murine melanoma cells
-
With the aim of improving the cytotoxic and vascular disrupting activities of flavonoids, several classes of ferrocenyl-modified flavonoids were prepared and tested on cancer and endothelial cells. Three ten-member series of ferrocenyl flavonoids: chalcones ((E)-1-(R-2′-hydroxyphenyl)-3- ferrocenylprop-2-en-1-ones), aurones ((Z)-R-2-(ferrocenylidene)benzofuran-3- ones) and flavones (R-2-ferrocenyl-chromen-4-ones) were synthesized by recently reported methods. Three ferrocenyl flavonols (R-3-hydroxy-2-ferrocenyl-chromen- 4-ones) and four ferrocenyl flavanones (3-ferrocenylmethylidenyl-R-2- phenylchroman-4-ones) were also obtained. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on a cancer cell line (B16 murine melanoma) and for their morphological effects on endothelial cells (EAhy 926). Some interesting structure-activity relationships were disclosed: of all the compounds, the halogen-substituted aurones showed the best cytotoxic activity, with IC 50 values ranging between 12 and 18 μM. Ferrocenyl flavonols and ferrocenyl flavanones with substitution in the 3-position (-OH and C-Fc respectively) were not active against cancer or endothelial cells. Some of the ferrocenyl flavones caused the endothelial cells to adopt a round shape ("rounding up") at submicromolar concentrations, which can be predictive of vascular disrupting activity. The most morphologically active flavones showed only moderate cytotoxicity against cancer cells, indicating that they may primarily act as antivascular agents.

- Regioselective iodination of flavonoids by N-iodosuccinimide under neutral conditions
-
Regioselective synthesis of C-6 and C-8 monoiodo flavonoids, which are important intermediates for the synthesis of flavonoid natural products and drug molecules, was achieved by iodination of suitably alkylated flavonoids with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) in DMF. The iodination gives either a C-6 or C-8 iodo flavonoid in high yield, depending on the protection pattern of the C-5 and C-7 OH groups. The mild and neutral conditions render this novel protocol particularly useful for the regioselective iodination of acid-sensitive substrates.

- Use of acyl substituents to favour 2,3-epoxidation of 5,7-dioxygenated flavones with dimethyldioxirane
-
The reaction of 5,7-dimethoxyflavone with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) gives the 2,3-epoxide rapidly at first. However, low levels of ring A hydroxylated by-products are also formed. With increasing proportions of DMDO, demethylation at C-5 becomes apparent and consumption of substrate is not matched by further significant build-up of the epoxide. Deactivation of ring A by the use of acyl groups removes this complication. 5,7-Diacylflavones give excellent yields of epoxides and monoacyl derivatives also react in good yield. Ionization potential maps derived from density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6-31G), provide good visual indicators of the relative reactivity of the key nucleophilic loci. The epoxides may be isolated as such, or transformed into flavonols by treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid.

- Synthesis and cytotoxicity of novel chrysin derivatives
-
A series of chrysin derivatives 8a-8v were prepared and tested in vitro against HCT-116 (human colon cancer cell line), Hela (human cervical carcinoma cell line), DU-145 (human prostate cell line), K562 (human leukemia cell line), and SGC-7901 (human gastric cancer cell line). The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by means of MS, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. Among these derivatives, 7-(2-(piperazin-1- yl)ethoxy)-5-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one, 8n, had the strongest activity against HCT-116, Hela, DU-145, K562, and SGC-7901 cells.

- A convenient and safe O-methylation of flavonoids with dimethyl carbonate (DMC)
-
Dietary flavonoids exhibit beneficial health effects. Several epidemiological studies have focused on their biological activities, including antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular properties. More recently, these compounds have shown to be promising cancer chemopreventive agents in cell culture studies. In particular, O-methylated flavonoids exhibited a superior anticancer activity than the corresponding hydroxylated derivatives being more resistant to the hepatic metabolism and showing a higher intestinal absorption. In this communication we describe a convenient and efficient procedure in order to prepare a large panel of mono- and dimethylated flavonoids by using dimethyl carbonate (DMC), an ecofriendly and non toxic chemical, which plays the role of both solvent and reagent. In order to promote the methylation reaction under mild and practical conditions, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7- ene (DBU) was added in the solution; methylated flavonoids were isolated in high yields and with a high degree of purity. This methylation protocol avoids the use of hazardous and high toxic reagents (diazomethane, dimethyl sulfate, methyl iodide).

- 3-O-Arylmethylgalangin, a novel isostere for anti-HCV 1,3-diketoacids (DKAs)
-
Through chelation of the metal ions at the enzyme active site, 1,3-diketoacids (DKAs) show potent inhibition of viral enzymes such as HIV integrase and HCV NS5B. In order to optimize the antiviral activity of the DKAs, structural modification of their metal-binding units, keto-enol acids or monoketo acids, have been actively performed. In this study, we proposed 3-O-arylmethylgalangin 3 as an alternative to ortho-substituted aromatic DKA, a potent inhibitor of HCV NS5B. As a proof-of-concept study, a series of 3-O-arylmethylgalangin derivatives (3a-3r) were prepared and their inhibitory activity against HCV NS5B was estimated. Structure-activity relationship of the 3-O-arylmethylgalangin derivatives was in good accordance with that of the ortho-substituted aromatic DKA series. In particular, two galangin ethers (3g and 3i) completely superimposable with the most potent ortho-substituted aromatic DKA analogue (2) in atom-by-atom fashion showed equipotent inhibitory activity to that of 2. Taken together, this result provides convincing evidence that the 3-O-arylmethylgalangin can successfully mimic the chelating function of the DKA pharmacophore to show potent inhibitory activity against the target enzyme, HCV NS5B.

- Conjugate addition to 3-arylsulfinylchromones as a synthetic route to homochiral 2-substituted chromanones: Scope and limitations

A route to homochiral 2-substituted chromanones via the diastereoselective conjugate addition of organocopper reagents to 3-(p-tolylsulfinyl)chromones has been improved and used to prepare 2,6-dimethylchromanone (S)-4 and LL-D253α methyl ether (S)-6. The attempted preparation of a 2-phenylchromanone (flavanone) using this strategy was unsuccessful due to the lability of the intermediate 2-phenyl-3-(p-tolylsulfinyl)chromanone, which underwent sulfoxide elimination at room temperature to give the corresponding 2-phenylchromone (flavone).

- Synthesis and hypoglycemic effect of chrysin derivatives
-
A series of 18 chrysin derivatives, prepared by alkylation and condensation, were fully characterized by NMR and other techniques and tested in vivo against the diabetes mellitus. Several modified compounds especially those with propyl, butyl, octyl and tolyl groups were found to have hypoglycemic effect on diabetic mice in spite of the fact that chrysin itself had inhibited insulin release by 40-60%. None of the test animals died at the maximum dose 500mg/kg and did not cause any significant change in general feature, water and food consumption, body weight and organ weight when we examined the acute oral toxicity of those compounds having significant hypoglycemic effect.

- Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Flavones and Chromones Using Cycloacylation Reactions and C-3 Functionalization. A Total Synthesis of Hormothamnione
-
The cycloacylations of hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted phenols with aryl- and alkylpropiolic acids using Eaton's reagent (10percent phosphorus pentoxide in methanesulfonic acid) gives highly substituted flavones and chromones in up to 63 percent yield.Styrylchromones were prepared from 2-methylchromones by condensation reactions of the 2-methyl group with various substituted benzaldehydes in sodium ethoxide and ethanol in almost quantitative yield.Methylation or hydroxylation at C-3 of these highly substituted flavones and styrylchromones was accomplished in a highly regioselective manner employing lithium diisopropylamide followed by quenching with an electrophile.Quenching of the initial anion with methyl triflate gave 3-methyl products while quenching of the initial anion with trimethylborate followed by oxidation gave 3-hydroxy products.A total synthesis of the naturally occurring styrylchromone hormothamnione, containing a 3-methyl substituent, is reported by use of these synthetic techniques.
