American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, is a severe health problem in different regions of Latin America and is currently reported to be spreading to Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia, due to the migration of populations from South and Central America. At present, there is no vaccine available and chemotherapeutic options are reduced to nifurtimox and benznidazole. Therefore, the discovery of new molecules is urgently needed to initiate the drug development process. Some acetophenones and chalcones, as well as chromane-type substances, such as chromones and flavones, are natural products that have been studied as trypanocides, but the relationships between structure and activity are not yet fully understood. In this work, 26 compounds were synthesized to determine the effect of hydroxyl and isoprenyl substituents on trypanocide activity. One of the compounds showed interesting activity against a resistant strain of T. cruzi, with a half effective concentration of 18.3 μM ± 1.1 and an index of selectivity > 10.9.

Paragraph 0035-0076, (2020/07/13)
The invention relates to a preparation method of 7,8-dihydroxy flavone, and belongs to the technical field of synthesis of medical intermediates. The preparation method comprises the following steps:by taking pyrogallol as a raw material, introducing an acetyl group to synthesize DHF1; protecting three phenolic hydroxyl groups to synthesize DHF2; selectively reducing the ortho-hydroxyl group of the acetyl group to synthesize DHF3; carrying out an aldol condensation reaction on DHF3 and benzaldehyde to prepare DHF4; carrying out a cyclization reaction under the condition of iodine catalysis toobtain DHF5; and finally carrying out a hydrolysis reaction to generate the final product. The method is simple and convenient to operate, reasonable in reaction process, low in production cost, goodin product quality, free of environmental pollution and suitable for industrial production, wherein the content of the product is higher than 98%.

Synthetic biflavonoids are associated with interesting biological activities, yet they remain poorly explored within drug discovery. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in synthetic approaches that can provide access to structurally novel biflavonoids so that the biological usefulness of this compound class can be more fully investigated. Herein, we report upon the exploration of strategies based around Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and alcohol methylenation for the synthesis of two classes of biflavonoids: (i) rare ‘hybrid’ derivatives containing flavonoid monomers belonging to different subclasses, and (ii) homodimeric compounds in which the two flavonoid monomers are linked by a methylenedioxy group. Application of these strategies enabled the preparation of a structurally diverse collection of novel biflavonoids from readily-available starting materials, thereby facilitating the probing of uncharted regions of biologically interesting chemical space.
