3′,4′,7-Trimethoxyflavone (TMF) has been reported to show a potent reversal effect on drug resistance mediated by breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)/ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2). In this study, we designed and synthesized five derivatives with either a hydroxy group or a fluorine atom at C-5 and several kinds of capping moiety at the C-7 hydroxy group, on the same 3′,4′-dimethoxy-substituted flavone skeleton. We subsequently evaluated the efficacies of these compounds against BCRP-expressing human leukaemia K562/BCRP cells. Reversal of drug resistance was expressed as the concentration of compound causing a twofold reduction in drug sensitivity (RI50). Of the synthesized compounds, the reversal effect of 5-hydroxy-3′,4′,7-trimethoxyflavone (HTMF, RI50 7.2 nm) towards 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) was stronger than that of TMF (RI50 18 nm). Fluoro-substituted 5-fluoro-3′,4′,7-trimethoxyflavone (FTMF, RI50 25 nm) and monoglycosylated 7-(β-glucosyloxy)-5-hydroxy-3′,4′-dimethoxyflavone (GOHDMF, 91 nm) also exhibited reversal effects, whereas the di- and triglycoside derivatives did not. TMF, HTMF and FTMF at 0.01–10 μm upregulated the K562/BCRP cellular accumulation of Hoechst 33342 nuclear staining dye. In addition, western blotting revealed that treatment of K562/BCRP cells with 0.1 μm TMF, HTMF or FTMT suppressed the expression of BCRP. HTMF showed the strongest inhibition of BCRP-mediated efflux and suppression of BCRP expression of the three effective synthesized flavones.

Natural flavonoids and xanthone glycosides display several biological activities, with the glycoside moiety playing an important role in the mechanism of action of these metabolites. Herein, to give further insights into the inhibitory activity on cell gr

Twenty new hybrid compounds with both combretastatin and flavone moieties were synthesized. These derivatives are classified according to the position of the trimethoxyphenyl ring at C-2 or C-3 of the chromone and presence or absence of a carbonyl as a linker between C-3 and the aryl ring. Most of these compounds were prepared from hesperidin or naringin, two natural and abundant Citrus flavonoids. Seven of these combretastatin analogues revealed anti-tubulin activity but in a medium range.
