Natural and Synthetic Flavonoids as Potent Mycobacterium tuberculosis UGM Inhibitors

This study reports a novel class of inhibitors of uridine 5′-diphosphate (UDP) galactopyranose mutase (UGM) derived from a screening of natural products. This enzyme is an essential biocatalyst involved in the cell wall biosynthesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Flavonoids are potent inhibitors of UGM. The synthesis of novel methylated flavonoids allowed a structure–activity relationship analysis to be performed and which functional groups and structural elements were required for UGM inhibition could be determined. The binding mode of one of the best inhibitors was found to be noncompetitive. Docking simulations indicated that this molecule was likely to bind UGM in its open conformation, in a cavity recently identified as a “druggable” pocket. Importantly, two of the best inhibitors of the M. tuberculosis UGM displayed moderate activity against whole M. tuberculosis cells. This study reports the first natural products that act as inhibitor of UGM. Given the importance of natural products in medicinal chemistry, these results create new opportunities for the discovery of new antitubercular agents.

Quercetin derivative and its preparation method and application

The invention discloses a quercetin derivative and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly using dichlorodiphenylmethane to protect quercetin o-diphenol hydroxyl, combining a benzyl protection group to obtain the selectively protected quercetin derivative, and then independently reacting with dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, allyl bromide, paratoluensulfonyl chloride and acetic anhydride respectively to generate corresponding quercetin derivatives. All of the prepared derivative compounds have NRK-49F proliferation activity inhibition superior to that of quercetin. The quercetin derivatives 20a-1, 14a-1 and 23d-1 compositely replaced by methyl and p-tosyl have higher inhibition NRK-49F proliferation activity, and the inhibition ratio respectively reaches 86.33%, 78.04% and 75.91%. Thus, the currently obtained quercetin derivative compounds have obvious inhibition effect on kidney fibroblast NRK-49F proliferation.

Effects of Functional Groups and Sugar Composition of Quercetin Derivatives on Their Radical Scavenging Properties

Quercetin derivatives are widespread in the plant kingdom and exhibit various biological actions. The aim of this study was to investigate the structure-activity relationships of quercetin derivatives, with a focus on the influence of functional groups and sugar composition on their antioxidant capacity. A series of quercetin derivatives were therefore prepared and assessed for their DPPH radical scavenging properties. Isoquercetin O-gallates were more potent radical scavengers than quercetin. The systematic analysis highlights the importance of the distribution of hydroxy substituents in isoquercetin O-gallates to their potency.

Selective monomethylation of quercetin

Quercetin was monomethylated under mild conditions in moderate yields through selective deprotection. The combined effects of the protecting group and the heating mode on the reactivity were investigated. The presence of borax and the use of microwave irradiation significantly improved the yield and selectivity of alkylation. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart - New York.

Hemisynthesis of all the O-monomethylated analogues of quercetin including the major metabolites, through selective protection of phenolic functions

A new methodology for the hemisynthesis of all the five O-monomethylated analogues of quercetin (3′-O-methylquercetin (isorhamnetin), 4′-O-methylquercetin (tamarixetin), 3-O-methylquercetin, 5-O-methylquercetin (azaleatin) and 7-O-methylquercetin (rhamnetin)) through sequential protection of the different phenolic functions of quercetin is reported.
