Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are a subgroup of flavonoids possessing various health benefits. 3,5,7,4′-Tetramethoxyflavone (1), 5,6,7,4′-tetramethylflavone (2), 3,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (3), 5,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (4), 5-hydroxy-3,7,2′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (5), 3,5,7,2′,4′-pentamethoxyflavone (6), 5-hydroxy-3,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (7), 3-hydroxy-5,7,3′,4′-tetramethylflavone (8), 3,5,7,3′,4′-pentamethoxyflavone (9), 5-hydroxy-3,7,3′,4′,5′-pentamethoxyflavone (10), 3-hydroxy-5,7,3′,4′,5′-pentamethoxyflavone (11), and 3,5,7,3′,4′,5′-hexamethoxylflavone (12) were 12 bioactive and available PMFs. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic, metabolite, and antitumor activities as well as the structure-pharmacokinetic-antitumor activity relationships of these 12 PMFs to facilitate further studies of their medicinal potentials. The cytotoxicity of PMFs with a hydroxy group toward HeLa, A549, HepG2, and HCT116 cancer cell lines was generally significantly more potent than that of PMFs without a hydroxy group. Compounds 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 were all undetectable in rat plasma, while compounds 1-4, 6, 9, and 12 were detectable. Both the number and position of hydroxy and methoxy groups played an important role in modulating PMF pharmacokinetics and metabolites.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) often leads to a failure of cancer chemotherapy. Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP/ABCG2), a member of the superfamily of ATP binding cassette proteins has been found to confer MDR in cancer cells by transporting molecules with amphiphilic character out of the cells using energy from ATP hydrolysis. Inhibiting BCRP can be a solution to overcome MDR.We synthesized a series of flavones, 7,8-benzofl avones and 5,6-benzo flavones with varying substituents at positions 3, 3′ and 4′ of the (benzo)fl avone structure. All synthesized compounds were tested for BCRP inhibition in Hoechst 33342 and pheophorbide A accumulation assays using MDCK cells expressing BCRP. All the compounds were further screened for their P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) inhibitory activity by calcein AM accumulation assay to check the selectivity towards BCRP. In addition most active compounds were investigated for their cytotoxicity. It was observed that in most cases 7,8-benzoflavones are more potent in comparison to the 5,6-benzoflavones. In general it was found that presence of a 3-OCH3 substituent leads to increase in activity in comparison to presence of OH or no substitution at position 3. Also, it was found that presence of 3′,4′-OCH3 on phenyl ring lead to increase in activity as compared to other substituents. Compound 24, a 7,8-benzoflavone derivative was found to be most potent being 50 times selective for BCRP and showing very low cytotoxicity at higher concentrations.
Metabolites from the Purple Heartwood of Mimosoideae. Part 3. Acacia crombei C.T. White: Structure and Partial Synthesis of Crombenin, A Natural Spiropeltogynoid

Crombenin, 4,4',6,6',7-pentahydroxyisochroman-3'-spirobenzofuran-3(2H)-one, the first spiropeltogynoid, is related to the concominant crombeone (8-hydroxypeltogynone) from which it is derived via oxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide of the chalcone i
