Platinum complexes bearing phosphane ligands in cis configuration with deprotonated flavonoids (3-hydroxyflavone, quercetin) and deprotonated ethyl gallate were synthesized starting from cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)2]. In all cases, O,O′ chelate structures were obtained. While quercetin and ethyl gallate complexes are quite stable in solution, the 3-hydroxyflavonate complex undergoes a slow aerobic photodegradation in solution with formation of salicylic and benzoic acids. The X-ray diffraction structures of quercetin and ethyl gallate complexes are reported. Cell cycle studies (in the dark) of the complexes in two human cell lines revealed that the cytotoxic activity of the complex bearing 3-hydroxyflavonate is higher than those exhibited by 3-hydroxyflavone or by cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)2] alone. Density functional theory studies on the hydrolysis pathway for the 3-hydroxyflavone and ethyl gallate complexes explained the different cytotoxic activity observed for the two compounds on the basis of the different intermediates formed during hydrolysis (relatively inert hydroxy Pt complexes for ethyl gallate and monoaqua complexes for 3-hydroxyflavone).

The oxidation of 3-hydroxyflavones by superoxide anion in tetrahydrofuran results in oxidative cleavage of the heterocyclic ring to give 2-benzoyloxyphenylglyoxylic acids without the loss of carbon monoxide.

Four copper(ii)-flavonolate compounds of type [Cu(LR)(fla)] {where LR = 2-(p-R-benzyl(dipyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)acetate; R = -OMe (1), -H (2), -Cl (3) and -NO2 (4)} have been developed as a structural and functional enzyme-substrate (ES) model of the Cu2+-containing quercetin 2,4-dioxygenase enzyme. The ES model complexes 1-4 are synthesized by reacting 3-hydroxyflavone in the presence of a base with the respective acetate-bound copper(ii) complexes, [Cu(LR)(OAc)]. In the presence of dioxygen the ES model complexes undergo enzyme-type oxygenolysis of flavonolate (dioxygenase type bond cleavage reaction) at 80 °C in DMF. The reactivity shows a substituent group dependent order as -OMe (1) > -H (2) > -Cl (3) > ?NO2 (4). Experimental and theoretical studies suggest a single-electron transfer (SET) from flavonolate to dioxygen, rather than valence tautomerism {[CuII(fla?)] ? [CuI(fla˙)]}, to generate the reactive flavonoxy radical (fla˙) that reacts further with the superoxide radical to bring about the oxygenative ring opening reaction. The SET pathway has been further verified by studying the dioxygenation reaction with a redox-inactive Zn2+ complex, [Zn(LOMe)(fla)] (5).

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a long lasting inducible whole plant immunity often induced by either pathogens or chemical elicitors. Salicylic acid (SA) is a known SAR signal against a broad spectrum of pathogens in plants. In a recent study, we have reported that benzoylsalicylic acid (BzSA) is a SAR inducer in tobacco and Arabidopsis plants. Here, we have synthesized BzSA derivatives using SA and benzoyl chlorides of various moieties as substrates. The chemical structures of BzSA derivatives were elucidated using Infrared spectroscopy (IR), Nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (NMR) and High-resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) analysis. The bioefficacy of BzSA derivatives in inducing defense response against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was investigated in tobacco and SA abolished transgenic NahG Arabidopsis plants. Interestingly, pre-treatment of local leaves of tobacco with BzSA derivatives enhanced the expression of SAR genes such as NPR1 [Non-expressor of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes 1], PR and other defense marker genes (HSR203, SIPK, WIPK) in systemic leaves. Pre-treatment of BzSA derivatives reduced the spread of TMV infection to uninfected areas by restricting lesion number and diameter both in local and systemic leaves of tobacco in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, pre-treatment of BzSA derivatives in local leaves of SA deficient Arabidopsis NahG plants induced SAR through AtPR1 and AtPR5 gene expression and reduced leaf necrosis and curling symptoms in systemic leaves as compared to BzSA. These results suggest that BzSA derivatives are potent SAR inducers against TMV in tobacco and Arabidopsis.
