Tricin (4′,5,7-trihydroxy-3′,5′-dimethoxyflavone) has demonstrated diverse biological activities. This compound has a high anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) activity; however, its oral availability is low. To improve its bioavailability, we synthesized tricin-amino acid derivatives as prodrugs and investigated their cell permeability, stability in vitro, and oral availability in vivo. The results demonstrated that the tricin-alanine-glutamic acid conjugate exhibited enhanced permeability, stability in MDCK cells, and excellent bioavailability after oral administration in Crl:CD (SD) male rats. Tricin-alanine-glutamic acid conjugate is a potential new anti-HCMV drug.

Reaction of lithium polyanions generated from o-hydroxyacetophenones 3a-f with O-silyloxylated benzoates 2a-d gave 1-aryl-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-propanediones 4a-n, which on treatment with acetic acid containing 0.5percent H2SO4 at 95 - 100 deg C afforded hydroxylated flavones 5-18 in high yields (76 - 92percent).
