Description
Amentoflavone, a biflavonoid with the molecular formula C30H18O10, is a polyphenolic compound found in over 120 plant species, including Selaginellaceae, Cupressaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Podocarpaceae, and Calophyllaceae families. It is one of the most potent inhibitors in the flavonoid class, with an active dose of approximately 0.12uM. Amentoflavone exhibits a wide range of biological effects, such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-diabetes, and anti-senescence, and plays a significant role in the cardiovascular and central nervous systems.
Uses
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Amentoflavone is used as an antitumor agent for its mitochondria-mediated apoptotic cell death activity. It has shown to have antitumor effects by interacting with various medications, as it is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 enzymes, which are responsible for the metabolism of some drugs in the body.
Used in Antiviral Applications:
Amentoflavone is used as an antiviral agent against influenza A subtypes H1N1 and H3N2, influenza B, and herpes simplex virus 1. It demonstrates effective antiviral activity with EC50s of 3.1 and 4.3, 0.56, and 17.9 μg/ml, respectively.
Used in Antidiabetic Applications:
Amentoflavone is used as an antidiabetic agent, as it dose-dependently increases insulin receptor phosphorylation and activation, and inhibits the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) catalyzed by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B; IC50 = 7.3 μM).
Used in Antidepressant Applications:
Amentoflavone is used as an antidepressant agent, as it reduces the time mice spend immobile in the forced swim test, a measure of antidepressant efficacy, in a dose-dependent manner.
Used in Neuroprotective Applications:
Amentoflavone is used as a neuroprotective agent due to its ability to block NF-xβ, which is a key factor in its anti-inflammatory potential. BETs were identified as NF-xβ promoters, with JQ-1 being highly effective in psoriasis models.
Used in Natural Products Industry:
Amentoflavone is used as a natural product with antibacterial, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities, making it a valuable component in the development of various health and wellness products.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Biflavonoid with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and cancer chemopreventive activity. It inhibits vascularization of tumors by blocking the activity of angiogenic VEGFs. Blocks the induction of COX-2 and up-regulates PPAR-γ. It is a negative modulator of the GABAA receptor at the benzodiazepine binding site.
Biological Functions
Amentoflavone is a biflavonoid originally isolated from Selaginella. It has a wide variety of biological effects including antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective activities. Amentoflavone has antiviral activity against the influenza A subtypes H1N1 and H3N2, influenza B, and herpes simplex virus 1 (EC50s = 3.1 and 4.3, 0.56, and 17.9 μg/ml, respectively). It has antidiabetic effects such that it dose-dependently increases insulin receptor phosphorylation and activation and inhibits hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) catalyzed by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B; IC50 = 7.3 μM). Amentoflavone reduces the time mice spend immobile in the forced swim test, a measure of antidepressant efficacy, in a dose-dependent manner.
Synthesis of Amentoflavone
Amentoflavone, a biflavanoid, is ubiquitously found in plants such as Calophyllum inophyllum, Eucommia ulmoides, Selaginella doederleinii, Paulownia tomentosa var. tomentosa, Ginkgo biloba, Juglans sigillata, Hypericum perforatum. A wide variety of bioactivities such as anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antidepressant, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, analgesic, antiplasmodial, leishmanicidal, lowering blood lipid and hepatoprotective activities have been reported for amentoflavone and its derivatives. Due to the limited natural abundance, the massive production of amentoflavone is not possible from natural resources. Therefore, total synthesis of amentoflavone would be significant as it will be able to solve the availability issue of amentoflavone. Although the synthesis of amentoflavone through Suzuki-reaction was reported two decades ago, which was to link the flavonyl-8-boronic acid with the 3'-iodoflavone to produce amentoflavone, no synthetic effort has been made ever since to explore an alternative scheme such that the flavonyl3'-boronic acid ester can be linked to the 8-iodoflavone through Suzuki coupling. It would be highly beneficial to the scientific community if this alternative scheme is successful, as this will provide a similar but different route for the synthesis of amentoflavone and other similar biflavonoids, because the preparation of flavonylboronic acid, the key intermediate for the synthesis of biflavonoids, from the corresponding halogenated flavone is sometimes problematic due to steric hindrance or unfavorable electronic effects from neighboring substituting groups in the aromatic ring. Therefore, the goal of this work is to provide an alternative synthetic scheme for the production of amentoflavone and other similar biflavonoids utilizing the coupling of flavonyl-3'-boronic acid ester and 8-iodoflavone, instead of the reported method which was based on the coupling of two different intermediates, the flavonyl-8- boronic acid and the 3'-iodoflavone [10]. Here we describe an efficient synthetic pathway to generate amentoflavone.

Amentoflavone (C30H18O10) is a common biflavonoid chemically named as 8-[5-(5,7-dihydroxy-4-oxo-4H-chromen-2-yl)-2-hydroxyphenyl]-5,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one, which naturally occurs in many plants. It is also considered as an apigenin dimer linked by a C3′-C8′′ covalent bond. This compound was firstly isolated by Okigawa and his colleagues in 1971 from three plants of the Selaginella species (Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) Spring, Selaginella nipponica, and Selaginella pachystachys) .

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 1617-53-4 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,6,1 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1617-53:
(6*1)+(5*6)+(4*1)+(3*7)+(2*5)+(1*3)=74
74 % 10 = 4
So 1617-53-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

A new biflavonoid, amentoflavone-7-O-β-D-glucoside, and thirteen known flavonoids were isolated from the fruits of Juniperus chinensis using a bioactivity-guided method and their tyrosinase inhibitory effects were tested using a mushroom tyrosinase bioassay. Two isolates, hypolaetin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and quercetin-7-O-α-L-rhamnoside, were found to reduce tyrosinase activity at a concentration of 50 μM. Quercetin-7-O-α-L-rhamnoside attenuated cellular tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in α-MSH plus IBMX-stimulated B16F10 melanoma cells. Molecular docking simulation revealed that quercetin-7-O-α-L-rhamnoside inhibits tyrosinase activity by hydrogen bonding with residues His85, His244, Thr261, and Gly281 of tyrosinase.
