Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors and neurite outgrowth promoters are thought to alleviate the symptoms of degenerative brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. We designed and synthesized a series of homoisoflavonoids based on the structure of natural homoisoflavan isolated from Dracaena cambodiana dragon's blood. The homoisoflavonoids were then evaluated as AChE inhibitors and neurite outgrowth promoters. The catechol structure of the homoisoflavan B rings was important for AChE inhibition, and some of the homoisoflavonoids significantly promoted neurite outgrowth induced by nerve growth factor (NGF).

Starting from 7-hydroxyisoflavones, we developed a new class of fluorescent scaffolds, 3-alkyl-6-methoxy-7-hydroxy-chromones (AMHCs, MW ～ 205.19, λab ～ 350 nm, λem ～ 450 nm) via a trial and error process. AMHCs have the advantages of being a small molecular moiety, having strong fluorescence in basic buffers, reasonable solubility and stability, non-toxicity, and are conveniently linked to pharmacophores. AMHCs were successfully used in fluorescence microscopy imaging of cells and tissues. This journal is

A mild and efficient one-flask method has been developed for the synthesis of chromones, isoflavones, and homoisoflavones from 2-hydroxyacetophenones, deoxybenzoins, and dihydrochalcones, respectively, via one-carbon extension using the complex 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine/dimethylformamide. Deoxybenzoins and dihydrochalcones were prepared in situ by the reaction of readily available substituted phenols with phenylacetic acids and 3-phenylpropanoic acids, respectively. This method allows the synthesis of a wide range of compounds with multiple phenolic hydroxyls and other substituents. The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of three naturally occurring isoflavones such as formononetin (9c), daidzein (9d), and retusin (9h).
