FLAVONE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR PREPARATIVE METHOD AND MEDICAL USE

Flavone derivatives, preparative method of the derivatives and use thereof as medicaments for treating diabetes. The structure of the derivatives is presented by formula 1: In the structure, R1 and R2, which are identical or not, represent hydrogen atom, halogen, cyano, hydroxyl, trifluoromethyl, thio-methyl, benzyloxy, C1-C8 linear chain or branch chain alkyl, C1-C8 linear chain or branch chain alkoxy. The pharmacological test indicates that the flavone derivatives can significantly increase the glucose consumption of Hep-G2 cell with insulin resistance activity, promote translocation of glucose transporter 4 of skeletal muscle cells (L6GLUT4myc) at different level, and significantly increase glucose intake and utilization by cells. The test proves the fact for the first time that the flavone derivatives can significantly promote translocation of glucose transporter 4 of skeletal muscle cells, and one of the mechanisms for treating diabetes is activating the cell AMPK phosphorylation and phosphorylating the downstream ACC.

Cyclohexane 1,3-diones and their inhibition of mutant SOD1-dependent protein aggregation and toxicity in PC12 cells

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons. Currently, there is only one FDA-approved treatment for ALS (riluzole), and that drug only extends life, on average, by 2-3 months. Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are found in familial forms of the disease and have played an important role in the study of ALS pathophysiology. On the basis of their activity in a PC12-G93A-YFP high-throughput screening assay, several bioactive compounds have been identified and classified as cyclohexane-1,3-dione (CHD) derivatives. A concise and efficient synthetic route has been developed to provide diverse CHD analogs. The structural modification of the CHD scaffold led to the discovery of a more potent analog (26) with an EC50 of 700 nM having good pharmacokinetic properties, such as high solubility, low human and mouse metabolic potential, and relatively good plasma stability. It was also found to efficiently penetrate the blood-brain barrier. However, compound 26 did not exhibit any significant life span extension in the ALS mouse model. It was found that, although 26 was active in PC12 cells, it had poor activity in other cell types, including primary cortical neurons, indicating that it can penetrate into the brain, but is not active in neuronal cells, potentially due to poor selective cell penetration. Further structural modification of the CHD scaffold was aimed at improving global cell activity as well as maintaining potency. Two new analogs (71 and 73) were synthesized, which had significantly enhanced cortical neuronal cell permeability, as well as similar potency to that of 26 in the PC12-G93A assay. These CHD analogs are being investigated further as novel therapeutic candidates for ALS.
