Structural revision of lawsonicin, a natural product of Lawsonia alba, is reported based upon comparison of its spectral data with that of the naturally occurring dihydrobenzo[b]furan neolignan (rac)-trans-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol, which is found to be identical. A concise synthesis of dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol, via Rh2[S-DOSP]4-catalysed intramolecular C–H insertion, is described.

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the facile oxidation of chromenes to the corresponding flavones by tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) in the presence of copper(II) bromide catalyst in toluene at 80 °C in a very short time. The reaction demonstrates excellent reactivity, functional group tolerance, and good to excellent yields without using conventional strong oxidizing agents.

synthesized aurone derivatives were found as potent tyrosinaseinhibitors relative to the standard kojic acid (IC50 = 16.69 ± 2.81 μM) and the compound 39 inhibited tyrosinase non-competitively (Ki = 11.8 μM) by forming an enzyme-inhibitor complex. The bindingmodes of these molecules were ascribed through molecular docking studies against tyrosinase protein (PDB ID: 2Y9X). The quantitative structure-activity
摘要 酪氨酸酶在黑色素生物合成和水果和蔬菜的酶促褐变中起着重要作用。为了发现有效的酪氨酸酶抑制剂,进行了本研究。在此背景下,通过各种光谱技术(包括红外、紫外、 1 H 和13 C-NMR 以及质谱)设计、合成并阐明了合成傲酮衍生物26-50的结构。筛选了目标化合物26-50的抗酪氨酸酶抑制潜力,并通过Lineweaver-Burk图分析了动力学机制。所有目标化合物均表现出良好至优异的 IC 50值,范围为 7.12 ± 0.32 μM 至 66.82 ± 2.44 μM。这些合成的橙酮衍生物被发现是相对于标准曲酸的有效酪氨酸酶抑制剂(IC 50 = 16.69 ± 2.81 μM),并且化合物39通过形成酶抑制剂复合物非竞争性抑制酪氨酸酶(K i = 11.8 μM)。这些分子的结合模式是通过针对酪氨酸酶蛋白(PDB ID:2Y9X)的分子对接研究来确定的。定量构效关系研究显示26-50个结构与其抗酪氨酸酶活性(IC
3′-Hydroxy-3,4′-dimethoxyflavone blocks tubulin polymerization and is a potent apoptotic inducer in human SK-MEL-1 melanoma cells
Flavonoids are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds and are among the most promising anticancer agents. A series of flavonols and their 3-methyl ether derivatives were synthesized and assessed for cytotoxicity. It was found that 3'-hydroxy-3,4'-dimethoxyflavone (flavonoid 7a) displayed strong cytotoxicity against human SK-MEL-1 melanoma cells and blocked tubulin polymerization, but had no significant cytotoxic effects against quiescent or proliferating human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Our analyses showed that flavonoid 7a induces G2-M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in melanoma cells which is associated with cytochrome c release and activation of both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways of cell death.

Chrysosplenol C (4',5,6-trihydroxy-3,3',7-tri-methoxyflavone) isolated from Miliusa balansae has unique structural features as a reversible inotropic agent independent of beta-adrenergic signaling and with selective activation of cardiac myosin ATPase. Hence, a series of chrysosplenol analogues were synthesized and explored for identification of pharmacophore that is essential for the increasing contractility in rat ventricular myocytes. Analogue 7-chloro-2-(3-hydroxypheny1)-3-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one showed highly potent contractility (54.8% at 10 mu M) through activating cardiac myosin ATPase (38.7% at 10 mu M). Our systematic structure activity relationship study revealed that flavonoid nucleus of chrososplenol C appears to be an essential basic skeleton and hydrophobic substituent at position 7 of chromenone such as methoxy or chloro enhances the activity. Additionally, our ATPase study suggested that these chrysosplenol analogues have selectivity toward cardiac myosin activation. Thus, the novel flavonone with 3-/7-hydrophobic substituent and 3'-hydrogen bonding donor function is a novel scaffold for discovery of a new positive inotropic agent.
