Transthyretin is a tetrameric protein which functions as a transporter of thyroxine and retinol-binding protein. Misfolding and amyloid aggregation of transthyretin are known to cause wild-type and hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis. Stabilization of the transthyretin tetramer by low molecular weight compounds is an efficacious strategy to inhibit the aggregation pathway in the amyloidosis. Here, we investigated the inhibitory activities of anthraquinone and xanthone derivatives against amyloid aggregation, and found that xanthone-2-carboxylic acid with one chlorine or methyl group has strong inhibitory activity comparable with that of diflunisal, which is one of the best known stabilizers of transthyretin. X-ray crystallographic structures of transthyretin in complex with the compounds revealed that the introduction of chlorine, which is buried in a hydrophobic region, is important for the strong inhibitory effect of the stabilizer against amyloidogenesis. An in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) study and in vivo pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that the compounds have drug-like features, suggesting that they have potential as therapeutic agents to stabilize transthyretin.
Cross dehydrogenative coupling via base-promoted homolytic aromatic substitution (BHAS): Synthesis of fluorenones and xanthones
Wertz, Sebastian,Leifert, Dirk,Studer, Armido
, p. 928 - 931 (2013/03/28)
Cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions occurring via base-promoted homolytic aromatic substitutions (BHASs) are reported. Fluorenones and xanthones are readily prepared via CDC starting with readily available ortho-formyl biphenyls and ortho-formyl biphenylethers, respectively. The commercially available and cheap tBuOOH is used as an oxidant. Initiation of the radical chain reaction is best achieved with small amounts of FeCp2 (0.1 or 1 mol %).
Microwave-assisted, Yb(OTf)3/TfOH cocatalyzed synthesis of xanthones and thioxanthones by intramolecular friedel-crafts reaction under solvent-free conditions
Li, Jie,Jin, Can,Su, Weike
experimental part, p. 855 - 866 (2011/05/12)
An efficient method for the synthesis of biologically interesting xanthones and thioxanthones was achieved using Yb(OTf)3/TfOH as co-catalysts by a microwave radiation-mediated reaction. Both electron-rich and electron-poor substrates could be cyclized in good yields.

A series of novel aminosubstituted benzopyranoisoindoles possessing structural analogy to an active nitracrine metabolite are reported. The compounds exhibited interesting cytotoxic activity against a panel of cell lines, which was maximized by the presen
Substituted xanthones as antimycobacterial agents*, part 1: Synthesis and assignment of 1H/13C NMR chemical shifts
Pickert, Martina,Frahm, August Wilhelm
, p. 177 - 192 (2007/10/03)
A series of substituted xanthones was synthesized in order to prove the hypothesis that electron-withdrawing substituents enhance the antimycobacterial activity of these compounds, which is described by means of a QSAR equation with 13C NMR che

Generation of the 2-benzylphenoxyl radical 23 or the 2-phenoxybenzyl radical 24 by flash vacuum pyrolysis of the ethers 8 or 9, or the oxalate 19, respectively, leads to fluoren-1-ol 22 together with 2-benzylphenol 7 and a low yield of xanthene 21.Pyrolysis of the para-substituted derivatives 11 and 20 gives an analogous distribution of products, including two isomeric methylxanthenes 28 and 29 formed via the spirodienyl 27.The reactions of the corresponding 2-benzoylphenoxyl radicals give information on the mechanism of these processes.Thus the formation of the fluorenones 37 and 43 provides evidence for the hydrogen-abstraction mechanism (Scheme 4) of fluorene formation.Secondly, a detailed study of the ratios of xanthones 41 and 42 under a variety of pyrolysis conditions suggests that such 6-membered-ring products are formed by sigmatropic shifts in the spirodienyl, rather than direct cyclisation of the phenoxyl or benzoyl radicals.
