products isolatedfromplants. Some glycosylated flavonols showed very interesting biological activities. A library of flavonols has been made through Algar-Flynn-Oyamada reactionfrom 2'-hydroxyacetophenones and benzaldehydes. Glycosylation of these flavonols with various glycosyl donors affords a library of glycosylated flavonols. These compounds are potentially useful pharmacologically active compounds

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.

A series of synthetic chalcones, flavanones, and flavones has been synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against the human kidney carcinoma cells TK-10, human mammary adenocarcinoma cells MCF-7 (estrogen receptor-positive), and human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT-29. The most active series is the chalcone ones with the best results against TK-10 and HT-29 cells. Fourteen out of 53 analyzed compounds resulted very active against at least two of the studied tumoral cells. Alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis, comet assay, was performed as a study of the chromosomal aberrations promoted by the compounds on normal cells. Four active and two inactive chalcones were studied in the comet assay against normal human kidney cells (HK-2). A structure-activity relationship analysis of these compounds was performed and for 4- and 3,4-disubstituted derivatives a quantitative correlation was obtained in the case of anti-HT-29 activity.
