- Induction of enantio-selective apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells by (S)-erypoegin K, an isoflavone isolated from Erythrina poeppigiana
-
Erypoegin K, an isoflavone isolated from the stem bark of Erythrina poeppigiana, has potent apoptosis-inducing effect on human leukemia HL-60 cells. Erypoegin K has a chiral carbon at the C-2′′ position of its furan ring and naturally occurs as a racemic mixture of (S)- and (R)-isomers. In the present study, we semi-synthesized (RS)-erypoegin K from genistein and separated the optical isomers by HPLC using a chiral column to characterize its apoptosis-inducing activity. Apoptotic cell death was assessed by analyzing caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation, nuclear fragmentation, and genomic DNA ladder formation. (S)-erypoegin K showed exclusive anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing activity, with an IC50 value of 90 nM, about 50% lower than that of its racemic mixture (175 nM). By contrast, no apoptosis-inducing activity was shown by the (R)-isomer. In addition, methylglyoxal accumulation in the culture medium was observed only in cells treated with (S)-erypoegin K. These results demonstrated that (S)-erypoegin K is a unique bioactive component that has potent apoptosis-inducing activity on HL-60 cells.

- Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of genistein derivatives
-
A series of genistein derivatives was prepared and tested in vitro against leukocythemia (HL-60), colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29), and human gastric adenocarcinoma (SGC-7901) cell lines. Among these derivatives, 4′,5-di-n-octoxy-7-gem-difluoromethylenegenistein, 9f, had the strongest activity against HL-60, HT-29, and SGC-7901 cells.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Selective C-6 prenylation of flavonoids via europium(III)-catalyzed claisen rearrangement and cross-metathesis
-
Starting from the readily available parent flavonoids, the flavanone 6-prenylnaringenin, the isoflavone 6-prenylgenistein (wighteone, erythrinin B) and a protected derivative of the flavonol 6-prenylquercetin (gancaonin P) have been synthesized in short reaction sequences featuring the title processes as key steps.

- SYNTHESIS OF 13C-LABELLED ESTROGEN ANALOGUES
-
There is provided a method of producing novel 13C-labelled estrogen analogues. The method preferably proceeds via an intermediate A or B or which is a mixture of (A) or (B): wherein a13C atom is located at one or more of positions 1, 2, 3 or 4 and wherein R is an optionally substituted alkane, alkene, alkyne or aryl group. Preferably R is -CH2Ph. An alternative preferred intermediate compound is 13C-resorcinol.
