- Total synthesis of novel skeleton flavan-alkaloids
-
The first total synthesis of novel skeleton natural compounds kinkeloids A and B, a group of newly discovered flavan alkaloids isolated fromthe African plant Combretum micranthum, are described in this study. The key and final step are achieved by Mannich reaction, through which the piperidine moiety couples to the flavan moiety. The identities of synthesized kinkeloids were further confirmed through a comparison with the ones in the plant leaves extract using LC/MS.

- Biological Properties and Absolute Configuration of Flavanones From Calceolaria thyrsiflora Graham
-
Flavanones (–)-(2S)-5,4’-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (1) and (–)-(2S)-5,3’,4’-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (2) were isolated from the extracts of Calceolaria thyrsiflora Graham, an endemic perennial small shrub growing in the central zone of Chile. The absolute configuration of these compounds was resolved by optical rotation experiments and in silico calculations. Three analogs (3, 4, and 5) were synthesized to do structure-activity relationships with the biological assays studied. Biological tests revealed that only flavanone 2 exhibited a moderate inhibitory activity against the methicillin-resistant strain S. aureus MRSA 97-77 (MIC value of 50 μg/ml). In addition, flavanone 2 showed a potent, selective, and competitive inhibition of 5-hLOX, which supports the traditional use of this plant as an anti-inflammatory in diseases of the respiratory tract. Also, 2 exhibited cytotoxic and selective effects against B16-F10 (8.07 ± 1.61 μM) but 4.6- and 17-fold lesser activity than etoposide and taxol.

- Eriodictyol synthesis method
-
The invention provides an eriodictyol synthesis method. According to the eriodictyol synthesis method, isovanillin and 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone are selected as starting materials, and eriodictyol is obtained through the following five steps: firstly, performing MOMCl protection on a hydroxyl of isovanillin; secondly, performing MOMCl protection on a hydroxyl of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone; thirdly, performing an aldol condensation reaction to generate chalcone; fourthly, performing Michael addition and cyclization; finally, carrying out MOM deprotection to obtain eriodictyol of which the total yield is 50-65%. As isovanillin and 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone are selected as the starting materials, the eriodictyol synthesis method is high in yield and suitable for industrialized production.

- Production of hydroxlated flavonoids with cytochrome P450 BM3 variant F87V and their antioxidative activities
-
A variant of P450 BM3 with an F87V substitution [P450 BM3 (F87V)] is a substrate-promiscuous cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. We investigated the bioconversion of various flavonoids (favanones, chalcone, and isoflavone) by using recombinant Escherichia coli cells, which expressed the gene coding for P450 BM3 (F87V), to give their corresponding hydroxylated products. Potent antioxidative activities were observed in some of the products.

- DPPH radical scavenging reaction of hydroxy- and methoxychalcones
-
The DPPH radical scavenging activity of 2′,4′,6′- trihydroxy- and 2′-hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxychalcones carrying a 2,3- and 3,4-dihydroxylated, and 3,4,5-trihydroxylated B-ring was evaluated in alcoholic and non-alcoholic solvents. All test compounds scavenged more than two equivalent of radicals by a possible conversion to the corresponding B-ring quinones and in most cases subsequently underwent cyclization to aurones and flavanones, these being identified in the reaction solutions by an in situ NMR analysis. Interestingly, the reaction between 2′,3,4-trihydroxy-4′, 6′-dimethoxychalcone and the DPPH radical was significantly affected by the solvent used, which might be accounted for by the difference in readiness for cyclization to an aurone.

- (±)-Diinsininone: made nature's way
-
We report the synthesis of diinsininone (33), the aglycone of (±)-diinsinin (2). Thereby, we complete the first construction of a proanthocyanidin (PA) type-A compound incorporating a [3.3.1]-bicyclic ketal as its characteristic core. Our strategy utilizes a coupling between a benzopyrilium salt and a flavanone that proves applicable to other PA type-A compounds. During this undertaking, treatment of naringenin (9) with 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) followed by reductive work-up affords eriodictyol (10). This reactivity mirrors that of catechol hydroxylase (F3H) found in the flavonoid pathway. Other interesting transformations include the formation of flavonoids through an ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) cycloaddition-oxidation sequence and regioselective β-glycosidations of several unprotected flavanones suggesting a likely synthesis of 2 from the aglycone 33.

- Synthesis of a Typical Chalkone and a Flavanone of Wyethia glabra
-
The constitution of a new chalkone as 2',4',6'-trihydroxy-4-methoxychalkone (1), isolated from Wyethia glabra has now been confirmed by its synthesis using 2'-hydroxy-4',6'-dibenzoyloxy-4-methoxychalkone (1a) as an essential intermediate.The structure of another compound as 5,3',4'-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (2) (eriodictyol-7-methyl ether) isolated from the same source, has also been confirmed by its synthesis using vanillin as the starting material.
