In this study, polyhydroxyisoflavones that directly prevent the aggregation of both amyloid β (Aβ) and tau were expediently synthesized via divergent Pd(0)-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and then biologically evaluated. By preliminary structure–activity relationship studies using thioflavin T (ThT) assays, an ortho-catechol containing isoflavone scaffold was proven to be crucial for preventing both Aβ aggregation and tau-mediated neurofibrillary tangle formation. Additional TEM experiment confirmed that ortho-catechol containing isoflavone 4d significantly prevented the aggregation of both Aβ and tau. To investigate the mode of action (MOA) of 4d, which possesses an ortho-catechol moiety, 1H-15N HSQC NMR analysis was thoroughly performed and the result indicated that 4d could directly inhibit both the formation of Aβ42 fibrils and the formation of tau-derived neurofibrils, probably through the catechol-mediated nucleation of tau. Finally, 4d was demonstrated to alleviate cognitive impairment and pathologies related to Alzheimer's disease in a 5XFAD transgenic mouse model.

A series of naturally occurring genistein (3) and biochanin A (4) compounds and their analogues were synthesized from phloroglucinol. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were established by the combined use of 1HNMR, 13CNMR, IR spectral data, and mass spectrometry; their antioxidant activities were investigated. Most of the synthesized compounds show moderate-to-high activity; only two compounds exhibit no significant activity.

A synthetic method for 7-hydroxy-5-methoxyisoflavones starting from 5,7-dihydroxyisoflavones was developed. Dimethylcarbamoylchloride was proposed for protection of the 7-hydroxy group. Aminomethylation of the synthesized 7-hydroxy-5-methoxyisoflavones by formaldehyde aminals was studied.
