Gutierrezia microcephala; Broomweed; Compositae; Astereae; flavonol; oxygenated kaempferol; quercetin and myricetin derivatives; 13C NMR.The perennial American desert shrub, Gutierrezia microcephala, contains 20 flavonol methyl ethers displaying nine different oxygenation patterns.These include 11 new flavonols: 5,7-dihydroxy-3,6,8,3',4',5'-hexamethoxyflavone, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,6,8,3',5'-pentamethoxyflavone, 5,7,3'-trihydroxy-3,6,8,4',5'-pentamethoxyflavone, 5,7,2',4'-tetrahydroxy-3,6,8,5'-tetramethoxyflavone, 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-3,6,8-trimethoxyflavone, 5,7,8,3',4'-pentahydroxy-3,6-dimethoxyflavone, 3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxy-6,8-dimethoxyflavone, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,6,8-trimethoxyflavone, 5,7,8,4'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxyflavone, 5,7,8,3',4'-pentahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone and 5,7,8,4'-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone.In addition, the following known flavonols were isolated: 5,7-dihydroxy-3,8,3',4',5'-pentamethoxyflavone, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyflavone, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,8,3'-trimethoxyflavone, 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyflavone, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,6,3'-trimethoxyflavone, 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone, 5,4'-dihydroxy-3,6,7,8,3'-pentamethoxyflavone, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,6,8,3'-tetramethoxyflavone and 3,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxy-6,8,3'-trimethoxyflavone.

Abstract: A series of polymethoxyflavonoids (3–16) were synthesized through dehydrogenation, O-methylation, glycoside hydrolysis, bromination, microwave-assisted aromatic nucleophilic substitution, dimethyldioxirane oxidation and regioselective demethylation, starting from abundant and inexpensive natural sources naringin and hesperidin. All the synthetic compounds were test for antiproliferative activities on human cervical carcinoma Hela cell line by the standard CCK-8 assay, the result showed that most of the target compounds exhibited moderate to potent antiproliferative activities on Hela cells comparable with the positive control cis-Platin. Among them, 5-hydroxypolymethoxy flavonoid 13 showed the strongest activity (IC50 0.791 μM). Graphical Abstract: [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.].

Polymethoxyflavonoids (PMFs) possess important biological activities, notably as anticancer agents. Semisynthesis of a series of PMFs were performed by glycoside hydrolysis, dehydrogenation, bromination, aromatic nucleophilic substitution, O-methylation, dimethyldioxirane oxidation and regioselective demethylation, starting from abundant and inexpensive natural sources naringin and hesperidin. A new synthetic method for selective methylation using CuBr catalysed and microwave-assisted reaction was developed, and the dimethyl dioxirane oxidation of flavones to flavonols was much improved. The new semisynthetic route has the advantages of easy availability of starting materials, simple operation and good yields.
