, p. 71 - 79 (2019)
This study describes a simple, two-step method for obtaining ruthenium(II) trithiacyclononane ([9]aneS3) flavonate complexes in yields ranging from 23% to 34%. With 7,3′,4′-trihydroxyflavone (thflv), a neutral complex, [Ru(II)([9]aneS3)(DMSO)(thflv)] (1), is formed by coordination at the catechol group. With chrysin (chrys) and tectochrysin (tchrys), Ru(II) binds to the chromenone fragment to form cationic complexes that are isolated as [Ru(II)([9]aneS3)(chrys)(DMSO)]Cl (2) and [Ru(II)([9]aneS3)(DMSO)(tchrys)]Cl (3). The structure of the complexes is characterised by FT-IR, NMR and ESI+-MS. Furthermore, the flavones and the corresponding complexes, 1–3, were investigated regarding their in vitro cytotoxic activity towards four different human tumour cell lines, PC-3 (prostate), MG-63 (osteosarcoma), MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 (both breast adenocarcinoma).

A library of 33 polymethoxylated flavones (PMF) was evaluated for heme-binding affinity by biomimetic MS assay and in vitro antiplasmodial activity on two strains of P. falciparum. Stability of heme adducts was discussed using the dissociation voltage at 50% (DV50). No correlation was observed between the methoxylation pattern and the antiparasitic activity, either for the 3D7 chloroquine-sensitive or for the W2 chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum strains. However, in each PMF family an increased DV50 was observed for the derivatives methoxylated in position 5. Measurement of intra-erythrocytic hemozoin formation of selected derivatives was performed and hemozoin concentration was inversely correlated with heme-binding affinity. Kaempferol showed no influence on hemozoin formation, reinforcing the hypothesis that this compound may exert in vitro antiplasmodial activity mostly through other pathways. Pentamethoxyquercetin has simultaneously demonstrated a significant biological activity and a strong interaction with heme, suggesting that inhibition of hemozoin formation is totally or partially responsible for its antiparasitic effect.

The antitumor activity of natural flavonoids has been exhaustively reported. Previously it has been demonstrated that prenylation of flavonoids allows the discovery of new compounds with improved antitumor activity through the activation of caspase-7 activity. The synthesis of twenty-five flavonoids (4-28) with one or more alkyl side chains was carried out. The synthetic approach was based on the reaction with alkyl halide in alkaline medium by microwave (MW) irradiation. The in vitro cell growth inhibitory activity of synthesized compounds was investigated in three human tumor cell lines. Among the tested compounds, derivatives 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 18 revealed potent growth inhibitory activity (GI50 10 μM), being the growth inhibitory effect of compound 13 related with a pronounced caspase-7 activation on MCF-7 breast cancer cells and yeasts expressing human caspase-7. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model predicted that hydrophilicity, pattern of ring substitution/shape, and presence of partial negative charged atoms were the descriptors implied in the growth inhibitory effect of synthesized compounds. Docking studies on procaspase-7 allowed predicting the binding of compound 13 to the allosteric site of procaspase-7.

Chromene and benzoxacyclic derivatives were efficiently synthesized from the ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrative C-H coupling reaction of phenols with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The cationic ruthenium-hydride complex was found to be an effective catalyst for the coupling and annulation of phenols with enals to form chromene products. The coupling of phenols with linear enones afforded 2,4-disubstituted chromene derivatives, whereas the analogous coupling with cyclic enones yielded 9-hydroxybenzoxazole products. The reaction of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with PhCH=CHCDO resulted in the chromene product with a significant H/D exchange to both benzylic and vinyl positions. The most significant carbon isotope effect from the coupling of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with 4-methoxycinnamaldehyde was observed on the α-olefinic carbon of the chromene product (C(2) = 1.067). A Hammett plot from the coupling of 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with para-substituted p-X-C6H4CH=CHCHO displayed a linear correlation, with a strong promotional effect by an electron-withdrawing group (ρ = +1.5; X = OCH3, CH3, H, F, Cl). Several biologically active chromenone derivatives were synthesized by using the catalytic coupling method. The catalytic method provides an expedient synthetic protocol for the coupling of phenols with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds without employing reactive reagents or forming any wasteful byproducts.

The incidence of type I allergies, which are associated with mast cell degranulation and local inflammation, is increasing, and new treatments are needed. To date, structure–activity relationships of flavonoids in their degranulation-inhibiting activity have not been systematically characterized. In the current study, the degranulation-inhibiting activity of a series of flavonoids was evaluated. The following three observations were made: (1) the activity disappears when a sugar moiety is introduced into the A ring of the flavanone; (2) the activity depends on the number of hydroxyl groups on the B ring; (3) the activity is markedly enhanced when a double bond is introduced into the C ring. The information obtained in the current study may guide the development of a therapy for type I allergies.

A microwave-assisted intramolecular direct arylation method for the synthesis of benzopyran-fused flavone derivatives containing natural flavone backbones is described. Different polyalkoxy flavones were synthesized and functionalized with 2-bromobenzyl bromide. The resulting compounds were subjected to palladium-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation reactions supported by microwave irradiation to produce fused tetracyclic flavones. In the case of the 7-substituted chrysin derivative, the regioselectivity of the coupling was also examined.

The aim of this study was searching anti-glycation, carbonyl trapping and anti-inflammatory activities of chrysin derivatives. The inhibitory effect of chrysin on advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) was investigated by trapping methylglyoxal (MGO), and MGO-conjugated adducts of chrysin were analyzed using LC-MS/MS. The mono- or di-MGO-conjugated adducts of chrysin were present at 63.86 and 29.69% upon 48 h of incubation at a chrysin:MGO ratio of 1:10. The MGO adducted positions on chrysin were at carbon 6 or 6 & 8 in the A ring by classic aldol condensation. To provide applicable knowledge for developing chrysin derivatives as AGE inhibitors, we synthesized several O-alkyl or ester derivatives of chrysin and compared their AGE formation inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, and water solubility characteristics. The results showed that 5,7-di-O-acetylchrysin possessed higher AGE inhibitory and water solubility qualities than original chrysin, and retained the anti-inflammation activity. These results suggested that 5,7-di-O-acetylchrysin could be a potent functional food ingredient as an AGE inhibitor and anti-inflammatory agent, and promotes the development of the use of chrysin in functional foods.
