- 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.

- Crystal structures of the flavonoid Oroxylin A and the regioisomers Negletein and Wogonin
-
The flavonoid Oroxylin A (6-methoxychrysin or 5,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2- phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one, C16H12O5) and its regioisomers are of increasing interest for a variety of bioactive functions and their pharmaceutical formulation is of importance. Previous difficulties in the separation and misidentification of Oroxylin A from its regioisomers Wogonin (8-methoxychrysin or 5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one) and Negletein (5,6- dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone or 5,6-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen- 4-one) render its full structural and powder X-ray characterization highly desirable. The low-temperature (100 K) crystal structures of Oroxylin A, Negletein and Wogonin sesquihydrate are reported for the first time. Wogonin crystallizes in two related but distinct hydrated forms. These have very similar powder diffractograms, indicating that such issues need to be addressed for its pharmaceutical formulation.

- Activities of Wogonin Analogs and Other Flavones against Flavobacterium columnare
-
In our on-going pursuit to discover natural products and natural product-based compounds to control the bacterial species Flavobacterium columnare, which causes columnaris disease in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), we synthesized flavone and chalcone analogs, and evaluated these compounds, along with flavonoids from natural sources, for their antibacterial activities against two isolates of F. columnare (ALM-00-173 and BioMed) using a rapid bioassay. The flavonoids chrysin (1a), 5,7-dihydroxy-4′-methoxyflavone (11), isorhamnetin (26), luteolin (27), and biochanin A (29), and chalcone derivative 8b showed strong antibacterial activities against F. columnare ALM-00-173 based on minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) results. Flavonoids 1a, 8, 11, 13 (5,4′-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone), 26, and 29 exhibited strong antibacterial activities against F. columnare BioMed based upon MIC results. The 24-h 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) results revealed that 27 and 29 were the most active compounds against F. columnare ALM-00-173 (IC50 of 7.5 and 8.5 mg/l, resp.), while 26 and 29 were the most toxic compound against F. columnare BioMed (IC50 of 9.2 and 3.5 mg/l, resp.). These IC50 results were lower than those obtained for wogonin against F. columnare ALM-00-173 and F. columnare BioMed (28.4 and 5.4 mg/l, resp.). However, based on MIC results, none of the compounds evaluated in this study were as active as wogonin (MIC 0.3 mg/l for each F. columnare isolate). Further modification of the wogonin structure to enhance antibacterial is of interest.

- Synthesis and evaluation of selenoflavones that have potential neuroprotective effects
-
We synthesized selenoflavones and evaluated their physicochemical properties and antioxidant effects. When oxygen was substituted with selenium, the compounds exhibited improved polarity and lipophilicity, implying that this change could lead to better BBB penetration. Selenoflavones revealed more potent antioxidant activity in our in-vitro assay. This suggests that selenoflavones would be more druggable than flavones and have a better potential as a neuroprotective agent.

- Synthesis and anti-influenza activities of novel baicalein analogs
-
A series of novel flavones derivatives were synthesized based on modification of the active ingredients of a traditional Chinese medicine Scutellaria baicalensis GEORGI and screened for anti-influenza activity. The synthetic baicalein (flavone) analogs, especially with the B-rings substituted with bromine atoms, were much more potent than oseltamivir or ribavirin against H1N1 Tamiflu-resistant (H1N1 TR) virus and usually with more favorable selectivity. The most promising were 5b, 5c, 6b and 6c, all displaying an 50% effective concentration (EC50) at around 4.0-4.5 μM, and a selective index (SI=50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50)/EC 50)>70. For seasonal H3N2-infected influenza virus, both 5a and 5b with SI >17.3 indicated superior to ribavirin. The flavonoids having both not-naturally-occurring bromo-substituted B-rings and appropriate hydroxyls positioning on the A-rings might be critical in determining the activity and selectivity against H1N1-Tamiflu-resistant infected influenza viruses.

- 4′-Bromo-5,6,7-trimethoxyflavone represses lipopolysaccharide-induced iNOS and COX-2 expressions by suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway in RAW 264.7 macrophages
-
The regulations of the NO and PGE2 productions are research topics of interest in the field of anti-inflammatory drug development. In the present study, 5,6,7-trimethoxy- and 5,6,7-trihydroxyflavones 3a-3g were synthesized from cinnamic acid derivatives. In particular, 4′-bromo-5,6,7- trimethoxyflavone (3b) most potently inhibited the productions of NO and PGE2 in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells (IC50 = 14.22 ± 1.25 and 10.98 ± 6.25 μM, respectively), and these inhibitory effects were more potent than those of oroxylin A or baicalein. Consistent with these findings, 3b concentration-dependently reduced the LPS-induced expressions of iNOS and COX-2 at the protein and mRNA levels. In addition, the release of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β and the mRNA expressions of these cytokines were reduced by 3b in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, 3b attenuated the LPS-induced transcriptional activities of NF-κB and this was accompanied by parallel reductions in the degradation and phosphorylation of IκB-α, and consequently by a decrease in the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-κB. Taken together, these results suggest that suppressions of the expressions of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β via NF-κB inactivation are responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of 3b.

- Oroxylin A analogs exhibited strong inhibitory activities against iNOS-mediated nitric oxide (NO) production
-
A number of oroxylin A analogs were prepared and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against iNOS-mediated nitric oxide (NO) production from LPS-stimulated BV2 cells. The analogs were synthesized from purchased 2′-hydroxy-4,5,6-trimethoxyacetophenone and aldehydes in 3 steps. Among the tested compounds, several analogs (3b, 3c, 3d, 3f) exhibited strong inhibitory activities. Especially, the analog with 4-nitrophenyl group (3b) showed stronger inhibitory activity (IC50 = 4.73 μM) than that of wogonin (IC50 = 7.80 μM).

-
The cycloacylations of hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted phenols with aryl- and alkylpropiolic acids using Eaton's reagent (10percent phosphorus pentoxide in methanesulfonic acid) gives highly substituted flavones and chromones in up to 63 percent yield.Styrylchromones were prepared from 2-methylchromones by condensation reactions of the 2-methyl group with various substituted benzaldehydes in sodium ethoxide and ethanol in almost quantitative yield.Methylation or hydroxylation at C-3 of these highly substituted flavones and styrylchromones was accomplished in a highly regioselective manner employing lithium diisopropylamide followed by quenching with an electrophile.Quenching of the initial anion with methyl triflate gave 3-methyl products while quenching of the initial anion with trimethylborate followed by oxidation gave 3-hydroxy products.A total synthesis of the naturally occurring styrylchromone hormothamnione, containing a 3-methyl substituent, is reported by use of these synthetic techniques.
