Synthesis of Flavonols via Pyrrolidine Catalysis: Origins of the Selectivity for Flavonol versus Aurone

A novel synthetic method for flavonol from 2′-hydroxyl acetophenone and benzaldehyde promoted by pyrrolidine under an aerobic condition in water is established. This protocol was supported by efficient synthesis of 44 common examples and three natural products. The α, β-unsaturated iminium ion (enimine ion E) was proved to be the key intermediate in the reaction. H218O and 18O2 isotope tracking experiments demonstrated that both water and the aerobic atmosphere were necessary to ensure the transformation. The selectivity for flavonol or aurone was originated from solvent-triggered intermediates, which were determined by UV-visible spectra from isolated enimine. The phenol-iminium E-A is dominant in water and the ketoenamine intermediate E-B is prevalent in acetonitrile. In the presence of pyrrolidine and oxygen, E-A leads to flavonol through E-I, a zwitterionic-like phenoloxyl-iminium ion, following the key steps of cyclization and a [2 + 2] oxidation; E-B proceeds through path II, a radical process induced by photolysis of E-B with both pyrrolidine and oxygen, to afford aurone. Preliminary mechanistic studies are reported.

Discovery of a Prenylated Flavonol Derivative as a Pin1 Inhibitor to Suppress Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Modulating MicroRNA Biogenesis

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase Pin1 plays a crucial role in the development of human cancers. Recently, we have disclosed that Pin1 regulates the biogenesis of miRNA, which is aberrantly expressed in HCC and promotes HCC progression, indicating the therapeutic role of Pin1 in HCC therapy. Here, 7-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dihydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one (AF-39) was identified as a novel Pin1 inhibitor. Biochemical tests indicate that AF-39 potently inhibits Pin1 activity with an IC50 values of 1.008 μm, and also displays high selectivity for Pin1 among peptidyl prolyl isomerases. Furthermore, AF-39 significantly suppresses cell proliferation of HCC cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mechanistically, AF-39 regulates the subcellular distribution of XPO5 and increases miRNAs biogenesis in HCC cells. This work provides a promising lead compound for HCC treatment, highlighting the therapeutic potential of miRNA-based therapy against human cancer.

Synthesis of 5-subsituted flavonols via the Algar-Flynn-Oyamada (AFO) reaction: The mechanistic implication

Herein, we report a synthetic method with improved selectivity for 5-substituted flavonols via the Algar-Flynn-Oyamada reaction (AFO), by using of sodium carbonate/hydrogen peroxide A series of 5-substituted flavonols was obtained with moderate to high yields. The mechanism of the AFO reaction was elucidated. LCMS analysis and in situ 1H NMR analysis indicated that the epoxide was involved in the transformation from chalcone to flavonol and/or aurone under alkaline base/peroxide conditions.

4'-Hydroxy-3-methoxyflavones with potent antipicornavirus activity

4'-Hydroxy-3-methoxyflavones are natural compounds with known antiviral activities against picornaviruses such as poliomyelitis and rhinoviruses. In order to establish a structure-activity relationship a series of analogues were synthesized, and their antiviral activities and cytotoxicities were compared with those of flavones from natural origin. The 4'-hydroxyl and 3-methoxyl groups, a substitution in the 5 position and a polysubstituted A ring appeared to be essential requirements for a high activity. The most interesting compound was 4',7-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-5,6-dimethylflavone possessing in vitro TI99 values of > 1000 and > 200 against poliovirus type 1 and rhinovirus type 15, respectively. This compound was also active against other rhinovirus serotypes (2, 9, 14, 29, 39, 41, 59, 63, 70, 85, and 89) tested, having MIC50 values ranging from 0.016 to 0.5 μg/mL. Finally in contrast to quercetin it showed to be not mutagenic in concentrations up to 2.5 mg in the Ames test.
