acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and a series of antioxidant flavonoid analogs were studied by fluorescence spectroscopic assay. The present study incorporated different classes of naturally occurring and synthetic flavonoid compounds like flavones, isoflavones, and chalcones as well as a few standard antioxidants. The AChE inhibitory (AChEI) activity of these compounds was further analyzed using in silico techniques

Asymmetric scandium(III)-catalyzed rearrangement of 3-allyloxyflavones was utilized to prepare chiral, nonracemic 3,4-chromanediones in high yields and enantioselectivities. These synthetic intermediates have been further elaborated to novel heterocyclic frameworks including angular pyrazines and dihydropyrazines. The absolute configuration of rearrangement products was initially determined by a nonempirical

A series of flavonoid derivativescontaining thiazole scaffold were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition effects against Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum, Gaeumannomyces graminis, Alternaria solani, Botrytis cinerea, and Alternaria mali. The antifungal bioassays results in vitro indicated that some target compounds showed good antibacterial activity against the tested plant

3 ',4 '-Dihydroxyflavonol (DiOHF) is a cardioprotective flavonol that can reduce injury after myocardial ischemia and reperfusion and thus is a promising small molecule for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Like all vasoactive flavonols reported to date, DiOHF is both relaxant and antioxidant, hindering investigation of the relative contribution of each activity for the prevention of reperfusion injury. This study investigates structure-activity relationships of variations at the 3 ' and 4 ' positions of the B ring of DiOHF and vasorelaxant and antioxidant activities. Relaxation of rat isolated aortic rings precontracted with KCl revealed that the most active flavonols were those with a 4 '-hydroxyl group, with the opening of potassium channels as a possible contributing mechanism. For the antioxidant activity, with the exception of DiOHF, none of the flavonols investigated were able to significantly scavenge superoxide radical, and none of the three most potent vasorelaxant flavonols could prevent oxidant-induced endothelial dysfunction. The discovery of single-acting vasorelaxant flavonols without antioxidant activity, in particular 4 '-hydroxy-3 '-methoxyflavonol, will assist in investigating the mechanism of flavonol-induced cardioprotection.
Pharmacophore model of the quercetin binding site of the SIRT6 protein
SIRT6 is a histone deacetylase that has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for metabolic disorders and the prevention of age-associated diseases. We have previously reported on the identification of quercetin and vitexin as SIRT6 inhibitors, and studied structurally related flavonoids including luteolin, kaempferol, apigenin and naringenin. It was determined that the SIRT6 protein remained active after immobilization and that a single frontal displacement could correctly predict the functional activity of the immobilized enzyme. The previous study generated a preliminary pharmacophore for the quercetin binding site on SIRT6, containing 3 hydrogen bond donors and one hydrogen bond acceptor. In this study, we have generated a refined pharmacophore with an additional twelve quercetin analogs. The resulting model had a positive linear behavior between the experimental elution time verses the fit values obtained from the model with a correlation coefficient of 0.8456.
