Cytochrome P450 1B1(CYP1B1) has been recognized as an important target for cancer prevention and drug resistance reversal. In order to obtain potent and selective CYP1B1 inhibitors, a series of forty-one α-naphthoflavone (ANF) derivatives were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for CYP1B1, CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 inhibitory activities. A closure look into the structure-activity relationship for the inhibitory effects on CYP1B1 indicated that modification of the C ring of ANF would decrease the CYP1B1 inhibitory potency, while incorporation of substituent(s) into the different positions of the B ring yielded analogues with varying CYP1B1 inhibitory capacity. Among these derivatives, compounds 9e and 9j were identified as the most potent two selective CYP1B1 inhibitors with IC50 values of 0.49 and 0.52 nM, respectively, which were 10-fold more potent than the lead compound ANF. In addition, molecular docking and a reasonable 3D-QSAR (three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship) study were performed to provide a better understanding of the key structural features influencing the CYP1B1 inhibitory activity. The results achieved in this study would lay a foundation for future development of selective, potent, low-toxic and water-soluble CYP1B1 inhibitors.

Two series of benzoflavone derivatives were rationally designed, synthesized and evaluated for their xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory potential. Among both series, eight compounds (NF-2, NF-4, NF-9, NF-12, NF-16, NF-25, NF-28, and NF-32) were found to exert significant XO inhibition with IC50 values lower than 10 μM. Enzyme kinetic studies revealed that the most potent benzoflavone derivatives (NF-4 and NF-28) are mixed type inhibitors of the XO enzyme. Molecular modeling studies were also performed to investigate the binding interactions of these molecules (NF-4 and NF-28) with the amino acid residues present in the active site of the enzyme. Docking results confirmed that their favorable binding conformations in the active site of XO can completely block the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Benzoflavone derivatives exhibiting potent XO enzyme inhibition also showed promising results in a hyperuricemic mice model when tested in vivo.

In view of reported xanthine oxidase inhibitory potential of naphthopyrans and flavones, naphthoflavones as hybrids of the two were designed, synthesized and evaluated for in vitro xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity in the present study. The results of the assay revealed that the naphthoflavones possess promising inhibitory potential against the enzyme with IC50 values ranging from 0.62 to 41.2 μM. Structure activity relationship indicated that the nature and placement of substituents on the phenyl ring at 2nd position remarkably influences the inhibitory activity. Substitution of halo and nitro groups at ortho and para position of the phenyl ring (2nd position) remarkably favored the activity. NF-4 with p-fluoro phenyl ring was the most potent inhibitor with IC50 value of 0.62 μM. Enzyme kinetics study was also performed to investigate the inhibition mechanism and it was found that the naphthoflavones displayed mixed type inhibition. The basis of significant inhibition of xanthine oxidase by NF-4 was rationalized by molecular modeling studies.
