Forty-eight kinds of isoflavones (8), thirty-one isoflavanes (9), and forty-seven biphenyl-ketones (10, 10′) were synthesized from eleven kinds of substituted phenols (11) and six phenylacetic acids (12). Among them, seventy-five compounds are new. The radical scavenging activities of these compounds were evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) at pH 6.0. We found that thirty-nine out of forty-three compounds having a catechol moiety on either the A- or the B-ring exhibited a high activity (ED50=12—54 μM) similar to that of catechin. In these cases, the remaining part of their structure seemed to have little effect on their activity. Many 6- or 8-hydroxyisoflavanes (9E—I) and their biphenyl-ketone derivatives (10E—H) also showed a high activity (ED50=<50 μM), while all of their corresponding isoflavones (8E—I) were not active at all. The 7-hydroxyisoflavanes having either an additional hydroxyl group at the C5-position (9D) or a methoxy group at the C6-position (9J) presented a high activity (ED50=26—32 μM). This study suggests that natural isoflavones have the possibilities of exhibiting antioxidant activities through the hydroxylation at the C6-, C8-, or C3′-position or the formation of the isoflavanes (9) and/or the biphenyl-ketone derivatives (10′) by metabolism or biotransformation.

A concise strategy is developed for the synthesis of isoflavans employing a Diels-Alder reaction between o-quinone methides and aryl-substituted enol ethers followed by reductive cleavage of the acetal group. The method is extended towards the total syntheses of equol, 3'-hydroxyequol and vestitol. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
