The flavones 5,6-dihydroxy-7,3′,4′-trimethoxyflavone (1), 5,6,4′-trihydroxy-7,3′-dimethoxyflavone (2), 5-hydroxy-3′,4′,6,7-tetramethoxyflavone, 5,7,3′-trihydroxy-6,4′,5′-trimethoxyflavone, ladanein, and hispidulin were isolated from the methanolic extracts of the aerial parts of Artemisia argyi and structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectral data. These flavones inhibited farnesyl protein transferase with IC50 values of 25-200/ μg/mL. Compound 2 inhibited proliferation of a couple of tumor cell lines and also inhibited neovascularization in a chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. Without loss of body weight of nude mice, compounds I and 2 inhibited growth of a colon tumor (SW620) by 44.6% and 14.6%, respectively.

The present invention relates to the field of flavor ingredients. More particularly it provides, a process for making 5- hydroxy -polyitιethoxy-f lavones (5-OH-PMF) (I) or improving the organoleptic properties of natural polymethoxy-f lavones (PMF) . The invention's process comprises treating flavones (II) in the presence of a HCl solution in a non-acidic and non -aqueous solvent. (I) (II).

The flavone nucleus is part of a large number of natural products and medicinal compounds. In this presentation the novel regioselective hydroxylation of hydroxyarenes with DMD is described. The results showed further that flavonoids with 5-hydroxy group were selectively oxyfunctionalized at the para-position C8 carbon atom by DMD. Finally, according to this methodology, the naturally occurring isosinensetin, tangeretin, sinensetin, nobiletin, natsudaidain, gardenin B, 3,3′,4′,5,6,7,8- heptamethoxyflavone, quercetin and its derivatives were synthesized.
