Structural studies on bioactive compounds. 40.1 synthesis and biological properties of fluoro-, methoxyl-, and amino-substituted 3-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones and a comparison of their antitumor activities with the activities of related 2-phenylbenzothiazoles

A new series of fluoro-, methoxyl-, and amino-substituted isoflavones have been synthesized as potential antitumor agents based on structural similarities to known flavones and isoflavones (quercetin and genistein respectively) and antitumor 2-phenylbenzothiazoles. Target compounds were synthesized using palladium-catalyzed coupling methodologies to construct the central aryl carbon-carbon single bond. The new isoflavone derivatives were tested for in vitro activity in human breast (MDA-MB-468 and MCF-7) and colon (HT29 and HCT-116) cancer cell lines. Low micromolar GI50 values were obtained in a number of cases, with the MDA-MB-468 cell line being the most sensitive overall. Notably, significant potentiation of growth inhibitory activity (GI50 1 μM for 12d, 12f, 12h, 12k, 121, 12o but not the methylene-bridged derivative 12i) was observed when MDA-MB-468 cells were co-incubated with TBDD, a powerful inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-1A1 activity, suggesting that isoflavone derivatives can act as substrates for CYP1A1 bioactivation.

Oxidation of flavanones with thallium(III) perchlorate in acetonitrile or dimethoxyethane leads to 2,3-aryl migration providing a general method for the synthesis of isoflavones having electron relasing as well as electron withdrawing substituents at C2-aryl ring and the mechanism in relaltion to in vivo is discussed.

When treated with thallium(III) acetate in acetic acid or acetonitrile, flavanones undergo facile dehydrogenation to afford flavones whereas, upon treatment with thallium(III) toluene-p-sulfonate or thallium(III) nitrate in propionitrile or acetonitrile, respectively, they undergo oxidative 2,3-aryl migration to give isoflavones in high yield.
