A set of isoflavononid and flavonoid analogs was prepared and evaluated for estrogen receptor α (ERα) and ERβ transactivation and anti-neuroinflammatory activities. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) study of naturally occurring phytoestrogens, their metabolites, and related isoflavone analogs revealed the importance of the C-ring of isoflavonoids for ER activity and selectivity. Docking study suggested putative binding modes of daidzein 2 and dehydroequol 8 in the active site of ERα and ERβ, and provided an understanding of the promising activity and selectivity of dehydroequol 8. Among the tested compounds, equol 7 and dehydroequol 8 were the most potent ERα/β agonists with ERβ selectivity and neuroprotective activity. This study provides knowledge on the SAR of isoflavonoids for further development of potent and selective ER agonists with neuroprotective potential.

The invention relates to a method for preparing equol. The method comprises the following steps: S1, synthesizing benzohydropyran: namely weighing daidzein raw materials, dissolving the daidzein raw materials in dimethyl formamide (DMF), adding palladium carbon into a hydrogenation kettle, carrying out reacting at a same speed under constant temperature and constant pressure, filtering out the catalyst, adding ice water into the filtrate, carrying out stirring to separate out white solid, and carrying out filtering, water washing and drying to obtain an intermediate a; S2, synthesizing a condensate: namely adding the intermediate a, dichloroethane and polyphosphoric acid into a three-mouth bottle, carrying out a reflux reaction, carrying out cooling, adding the obtained substance into icewater, taking an organic phase by layering, carrying out drying with sodium sulfate, concentrating dichloroethane to obtain a yellow oily substance, and carrying out recrystallizing with 90% ethanol water to obtain an intermediate b; and S3, synthesizing equol: namely adding the intermediate b, DMF and a catalyst into a hydrogenation kettle, filtering out the catalyst after a reaction at constanttemperature and constant pressure, adding the filtrate into ice water, carrying out stirring to separate out a gray solid, carrying out filtering, and recrystallizing the filter cake with 70% methanolwater to obtain the equol. The method has the advantages of simple steps, high total yield, environmental protection and easy operation.

Total synthesis of eryvarin H and a biological investigation of its analogues as a potential inverse agonist of ERRγ are described here. Among the 13 analogues prepared by the modular synthetic route, eryvarin H and compound 12 showed meaningful ERRγ inverse agonistic activities along with moderate selectivity over ERα and other nuclear receptors in the cell-based reporter gene assay.

Isoflavone consumption correlates with reduced rates of cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological studies and clinical data provide evidence that isoflavone metabolites, such as the isoflavan equol, contribute to these beneficial effects. In this study we developed a new route to isoflavans and isoflavenes via 2-morpholinoisoflavenes derived from a condensation reaction of phenylacetaldehydes, salicylaldehydes and morpholine. We report the synthesis of the isoflavans equol and deoxygenated analogues, and the isoflavenes 7,4′-dihydroxyisoflav-3-ene (phenoxodiol, haganin E) and 7,4′-dihydroxyisoflav-2-ene (isophenoxodiol). Vascular pharmacology studies reveal that all oxygenated isoflavans and isoflavenes can attenuate phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction, which was unaffected by the estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780. Furthermore, the compounds inhibited U46619 (a thromboxane A2 analogue) induced vasoconstriction in endothelium-denuded rat aortae, and reduced the formation of GTP RhoA, with the effects being greatest for equol and phenoxodiol. Ligand displacement studies of rat uterine cytosol estrogen receptor revealed the compounds to be generally weak binders. These data are consistent with the vasorelaxation activity of equol and phenoxodiol deriving at least in part by inhibition of the RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway, and along with the limited estrogen receptor affinity supports a role for equol and phenoxodiol as useful agents for maintaining cardiovascular function with limited estrogenic effects.

Synthesis of various kinds of isoflavones, isoflavanes, and biphenyl- ketones and their 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging activities

scheme or table, p. 346 - 360 (2009/12/27)
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.

New syntheses of haginin E, equol, daidzein, and formononetin are described in this Letter. Through a sequence of a Wittig reaction, O-alkylation, and another Wittig reaction, 4-benzyloxysalicylaldehyde, which was prepared from resorcinol in two steps, was converted into the desired diene in one pot. Subsequently, the prepared diene was subjected to ring-closing metathesis using Grubbs' catalyst (II) to construct the desired isoflavene intermediate. Using the prepared isoflavene, certain isoflavonoids such as haginin E, equol, daidzein, formononetin, and other related compounds were derived smoothly and in good overall yields.
