Synthesis and biological activity of the pinostrobin oxime complex compounds with some d-metals
摘要:
The process of the complex formation by the natural flavonoid pinostrobin (5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavonone) oxime with the Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions in a water-ethanol medium was investigated. The metal: ligand ratio in the complex was determined by the saturation method. The results of the analysis of IR spectra and the data of mass-spectrometric studies of the structure of the obtained complex compounds are reported. The antiviral activity of the synthesized complexes with respect to the human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 IIIB and HIV-2 ROD strains was studied. The antioxidant activity of the complexes, as well as the parent pinostrobin oxime ligand, was evaluated with respect to the diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical cation.
Cytotoxicity against KB and NCI-H187 cell lines of modified flavonoids from Kaempferia parviflora
摘要:
Flavones 1-4 isolated from Kaempferia parviflora were used for structural modification. Sixteen flavonoid derivatives, including four new derivatives, were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against KB and NCI-H187 cell lines. Flavanones 2a-4a demonstrated higher cytotoxic activity than the parent compounds. Cytotoxicity against KB cell line of oxime 1c was about 7 times higher than the ellipticine standard. Interestingly, oximes 1c and 2c exhibited highly potent cytotoxicity against NCI-H187 cell line with IC50 values of 0.014 and 0.23 mu M, respectively. Oximes 4c and 5c showed strong cytotoxicity against NCI-H187 cell line with IC50 values of 4.04 and 2.32 mu M, respectively. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
