- Novel daidzein analogs and their in vitro anti-influenza activities
-
A series of novel isoflavonoids were synthesized based on structural modifications of daidzein, an active ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and evaluated for their anti-influenza activity, in vitro, against H1N1 Tamiflu-resistant (H1N1 TR) virus in the MDCK cell line. Among them, 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-8-carbaldehydes 11a-11g were most promising, and they demonstrated better activities and selectivities comparable to those the reference ribarivin, a nucleoside antiviral agent. 3-(4-Bromophenyl)-7-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-8-carboxaldehyde (11c) displayed the best inhibitory activity (EC50, 29.0 μM) and selectivity index (SI>10.3). Analysis of the structure£activity relationships (SAR) indicated that both the non-naturally-occurring Br-substituted B-ring and appropriate CHO and OH groups on the A-ring might be critical for the activity and selectivity against H1N1 TR influenza viruses.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of pyranoisoflavone derivatives as anti-inflammatory agents
-
In this paper, barbigerone (1a) and its twenty-seven related structural analogues were synthesized via complementary synthetic routes and their anti-inflammatory effects on the expression of TNF-α in LPS-stimulated splenocytes were evaluated. Among these compounds, 1a, 1d, 1f and 1g were found to remarkably inhibit TNF-α production. Furthermore, 1g showed the most potent and dose-dependent manner inhibitory effect on TNF-α release, with better IC50 value (3.58 μM) than barbigerone (8.46 μM). Oral administration of 1g at 20 mg/kg/day for two weeks obviously demonstrated protective effect in adjuvant-induced arthritis models as evaluated by clinical score of paws, and histological examination of joint tissues from rats. Mechanism studies on mRNA and protein level suggested that 1g inhibited the TNF-α production via depressing TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE) mRNA expression. In conclusion, these data show 1g with potential therapeutic effects as an anti-inflammatory agent.

- The synthesis and evaluation of flavone and isoflavone chimeras of novobiocin and derrubone
-
The natural products novobiocin and derrubone have both demonstrated Hsp90 inhibition and structure-activity relationships have been established for each scaffold. Given these compounds share several key structural features, we hypothesized that incorporation of elements from each could provide insight to structural features important for Hsp90 inhibition. Thus, chimeric analogues of novobiocin and derrubone were constructed and evaluated. These studies confirmed that the functionality present at the 3-position of the isoflavone plays a critical role in determining Hsp90 inhibition and suggests that the bicyclic ring system present in both novobiocin and derrubone do not share similar modes of binding.

- Total Synthesis of Isoflavones: Jamaicin, Calopogonium Isoflavone-B, Pseudobaptigenin, and Maxima Substance-B. Friedel-Crafts Acylation Reactions with Acid-Sensitive Substrates
-
The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction was studied on several acid-sensitive substrates.Under the proper conditions of varying Lewis acids, solvents, and reaction temperatures, the acylation indeed took place, thus obviating the necessity for functional group protection-deprotection sequences.By use of these procedures, the naturally occuring isoflavones jamaicin (1), calopogonium isoflavone-B (2), maxima substance-B (30), and pseudobaptigenin (31) were synthesized and characterized.
