- Discovery and synthesis of rocaglaol derivatives inducing apoptosis in HCT116 cells via suppression of MAPK signaling pathway
-
Six rocaglaol derivatives were isolated from Dysoxylum gotadhora, and those compounds showed good cytotoxic activity with IC50 values ranging from 10 to 350 ng/mL against five different cancer cells. Obviously, further total synthesis of rocaglaol derivatives for medical chemistry study is of great significance. Then, twenty six rocaglaol derivatives including 25 new compounds were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against three human cancer cell lines: human colon cancer cells (HCT116), colorectal cancer stem cells (P6C), and human red leukocyte leukemia cells (HEL), using MTT assay. Most of derivatives showed good cytotoxic activities, with the lowest IC50 being 3.2 nM for HEL cells, which was 169 times stronger than that of the positive control (doxorubicin). Further mechanism study indicated that 11k could significantly suppress MAPK pathway in HCT116 cells, which may responsible for induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

- Anti‐melanogenic properties of velutin and its analogs?
-
Velutin, one of the flavones contained in natural plants, has various beneficial activities, such as skin whitening, as well as anti‐inflammatory, anti‐allergic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. However, the relationship between the structure of velutin and its anti‐melanogenesis activity is not yet investigated. In this study, we obtained 12 velutin derivatives substituted at C5, C7, C3′, and C4′ of the flavone backbone with hydrogen, hydroxyl, and methoxy functionalities by chemical synthesis, to perform SAR analysis of velutin structural analogues. The SAR study revealed that the substitution of functional groups at C5, C7, C3′, and C4′ of the flavone backbone affects biological activities related to melanin synthesis. The coexistence of hydroxyl and methoxy at the C5 and C7 position is essential for inhibiting tyrosinase activity. However, 1,2‐diol compounds substituted at C3′ and C4′ of flavone backbone induce apoptosis of melanoma cells. Further, substitution at C3′ and C4′ with methoxy or hydrogen is essential for inhibiting melanogenesis. Thus, this study would be helpful for the development of natural‐derived functional materials to regulate melanin synthesis.

- Design and synthesis of novel Flavone-based histone deacetylase inhibitors antagonizing activation of STAT3 in breast cancer
-
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors have demonstrated a great clinical achievement in hematological malignancies. However, the efficacy of HDACs inhibitors in treating solid tumors remains limited due to the complicated tumor microenvironment. In this study, we designed and synthesized a class of novel HDACs inhibitors based on the structure of flavones and isoflavones, followed by biological evaluation. To be specific, a lead compound 15a was discovered with strong anti-proliferative effects on a variety of solid tumor cells, especially for breast cancer cells with resistance to SAHA. Studies demonstrated that 15a could significantly inhibit the activity of HDAC 1, 2, 3 (class I) and 6 (class IIB), leading to a dose-dependent accumulation of acetylated histones and α-Tubulin, cell cycle arrest (G1/S phase) and apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, the lead compound 15a could also antagonize the activation of STAT3 induced by HDACs inhibition in some breast cancer cells, which further reduced the level of pro-survive proteins in tumor cells and enhanced anti-tumor activity regulated by STAT3 signaling in vivo. Overall, our findings demonstrated that the novel compound 15a might be a HDACs inhibitor candidate, which could be used as promising chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer.

- An environmentally benign synthesis of aurones and flavones from 2′-acetoxychalcones using n-tetrabutylammonium tribromide
-
A wide variety of aurones (3a-f) can be prepared exclusively from 2′-acetoxychalcones (1a-f) in high yields in two steps, by bromination using n-tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) in the presence of CaCO3 in CH2Cl2-MeOH (5:2) at 0-5°C followed by cyclization of the brominated products 2a-f on treating with 0.2 M ethanolic KOH solution at 0-5°C, respectively. In contrast various flavone derivatives 6a-f can be obtained exclusively from compounds 1a-f in fairly good yields, by brominating with the same reagent in CH2Cl2, followed by dehydrobromination and finally cyclization on treating with 0.1 M NaOMe solution.
