In this study, polyhydroxyisoflavones that directly prevent the aggregation of both amyloid β (Aβ) and tau were expediently synthesized via divergent Pd(0)-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and then biologically evaluated. By preliminary structure–activity relationship studies using thioflavin T (ThT) assays, an ortho-catechol containing isoflavone scaffold was proven to be crucial for preventing both Aβ aggregation and tau-mediated neurofibrillary tangle formation. Additional TEM experiment confirmed that ortho-catechol containing isoflavone 4d significantly prevented the aggregation of both Aβ and tau. To investigate the mode of action (MOA) of 4d, which possesses an ortho-catechol moiety, 1H-15N HSQC NMR analysis was thoroughly performed and the result indicated that 4d could directly inhibit both the formation of Aβ42 fibrils and the formation of tau-derived neurofibrils, probably through the catechol-mediated nucleation of tau. Finally, 4d was demonstrated to alleviate cognitive impairment and pathologies related to Alzheimer's disease in a 5XFAD transgenic mouse model.

Abstract The synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of formononetin analogues is hereby reported. Formononetin and its analogue 11E showed 88% and 95% growth inhibition, respectively, against the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pharmacophore modeling studies indicated that the presence of a hydroxyl group in formononetin and its analogues, is crucial for maintaining activity.

Kudzuisoflavone-A was successfully synthesised via oxidative dimerisation of daidzein in the presence of cuprous chloride. Appropriately substituted isoflavones also undergo regioselective oxidative dimerisation when treated with thallium trifluoroacetate to give novel 6′,6′″-biisoflavones in good yield. A rationale for the regioselectivity is proposed.
