Exploration of Pharmacophore in Chrysosplenol C as Activator in Ventricular Myocyte Contraction
摘要:
Chrysosplenol C (4',5,6-trihydroxy-3,3',7-tri-methoxyflavone) isolated from Miliusa balansae has unique structural features as a reversible inotropic agent independent of beta-adrenergic signaling and with selective activation of cardiac myosin ATPase. Hence, a series of chrysosplenol analogues were synthesized and explored for identification of pharmacophore that is essential for the increasing contractility in rat ventricular myocytes. Analogue 7-chloro-2-(3-hydroxypheny1)-3-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one showed highly potent contractility (54.8% at 10 mu M) through activating cardiac myosin ATPase (38.7% at 10 mu M). Our systematic structure activity relationship study revealed that flavonoid nucleus of chrososplenol C appears to be an essential basic skeleton and hydrophobic substituent at position 7 of chromenone such as methoxy or chloro enhances the activity. Additionally, our ATPase study suggested that these chrysosplenol analogues have selectivity toward cardiac myosin activation. Thus, the novel flavonone with 3-/7-hydrophobic substituent and 3'-hydrogen bonding donor function is a novel scaffold for discovery of a new positive inotropic agent.
3′-Hydroxy-3,4′-dimethoxyflavone blocks tubulin polymerization and is a potent apoptotic inducer in human SK-MEL-1 melanoma cells
摘要:
Flavonoids are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds and are among the most promising anticancer agents. A series of flavonols and their 3-methyl ether derivatives were synthesized and assessed for cytotoxicity. It was found that 3'-hydroxy-3,4'-dimethoxyflavone (flavonoid 7a) displayed strong cytotoxicity against human SK-MEL-1 melanoma cells and blocked tubulin polymerization, but had no significant cytotoxic effects against quiescent or proliferating human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Our analyses showed that flavonoid 7a induces G2-M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in melanoma cells which is associated with cytochrome c release and activation of both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways of cell death.

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.
