A series of formononetin derivatives with substituted benzyloxy groups on the 4′ position of isoflavone were designed and synthesized. Their vasodilative activities were evaluated by wire myograph system on isolated rat mesenteric arterial ring. The preli

6,7,4′-Trihydroxyisoflavanone, the main source of which is extracted from soybeans, has been found to have diverse significant bioactivities. A large-scale, cost-effective, and facile chemical synthesis of 6,7,4′-trihydroxyisoflavanone is presented herein. Its synthesis is characterized by three steps with an overall yield of 71% and a purity or more than 99.0%. This reaction can be scaled up to multikilogram quantities, providing a solid basis for its further bioactivity studies and drug development. With this same method, 6,7,3′,4′-tetrahydroxyisoflavanone, an analog of 6,7,4′-trihydroxyisoflavanone, also can be largely prepared, indicating this modified synthetic method is potentially available for large-scale synthesis of a broad range of multihydroxyl isoflavanones.

Bioassay-guided separation of the extract of the medicinal plant, Puerariae Flos, disclosed the two isoflavones tectorigenin (1) and genistein (2) as the inhibitors for expression of IgE receptor (FcRI), the key molecule triggering the allergic reactions, on human mast cells. As a result of analysis of structure-activity relationship of the naturally occurring and synthesized isoflavones, 7-O-methyl glycitein (11) was disclosed as the more potent inhibitor than tectorigenin (1). These isoflavone ingredients suppressed expression of FcRI more potently than the active flavonoids found previously. In addition, tectorigenin (1) was clarified to particularly reduce generation of γ-chain subunit to suppress expression of FcRI among the three subunits.
Synthesis of various kinds of isoflavones, isoflavanes, and biphenyl- ketones and their 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging activities

Forty-eight kinds of isoflavones (8), thirty-one isoflavanes (9), and forty-seven biphenyl-ketones (10, 10') were synthesized from eleven kinds of substituted phenols (11) and six phenylacetic acids (12). Among them, seventy-five compounds are new. The radical scavenging activities of these compounds were evaluated using 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) at pH 6.0. We found that thirty-nine out of forty-three compounds having a catechol moiety on either the A- or the B-ring exhibited a high activity (ED50=12-54 μM) similar to that of catechin. In these cases, the remaining part of their structure seemed to have little effect on their activity. Many 6- or 8-hydroxyisoflavanes (9E-I) and their biphenyl-ketone derivatives (10E-H) also showed a high activity (ED50=50=26-32 μM). This study suggests that natural isoflavones have the possibilities of exhibiting antioxidant activities through the hydroxylation at the C6-, C8-, or C3'-position or the formation of the isoflavanes (9) and/or the biphenyl-ketone derivatives (10') by metabolism or biotransformation.
