Scutellarin (1) possesses distinguished efficacy in the clinical therapy of cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease,
and angina pectoris. Scutellarin (1) is readily converted in vivo, therefore, synthetic methods for the construction of
its metabolites will be very important in the near future. In this work, an efficient and first synthetic method for 6-O-methyl-
scutellarein (3), one metabolite of scutellarin in vivo, is developed. Dichlorodiphenylmethane in diphenyl ether is
used firstly to protect the dihydroxy groups at C-6 and C-7 in scutellarein (2). Then, benzyl bromide is used to selectively
protect the hydroxy groups at C-4' and C-7 in 10. 6-O-Methyl-scutellarein (3) is obtained in high yield through seven
steps.
黄芩苷(1)在脑梗塞、冠心病和心绞痛的临床治疗中具有显著疗效。
黄芩苷(1)在体内很容易转化,因此,合成其代谢物的方法在不久的将来将非常重要。在这项工作中,首次开发出了
黄芩苷的一种代谢物--6-O-甲基
黄芩苷(3)的高效合成方法。首先用
二苯醚中的
二氯二苯甲烷保护
黄芩苷(2)中 C-6 和 C-7 的二羟基。然后用
溴化苄选择性地保护 10 中 C-4' 和 C-7 的羟基。通过七个步骤,便可高产获得 6-O-甲基
黄芩苷(3)。
