A series of novel flavonoid alkaloids were synthesized with different flavonoids and attached nitrogen-containing moieties. These new compounds were screened for inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase, among which compound 23 was found to show the lowest IC50 of 4.13 μM. Kinetic analysis indicates that the synthesized compounds 15 and 23 inhibit the enzyme in a non-competitive model with Ki value of 37.8 ± 0.8 μM and 13.2 ± 0.6 μM. Further docking studies suggest that the preferred binding pocket is close to the catalytic center, correlating to the experimental results. Structure activity relationship studies (SAR) indicate that 4′-hyroxyl group and the 4-position carbonyl group in the flavonoid structure are important for this biological activity. Addition of extra hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic groups on ring A would increase the inhibitory activity.

The screening of the ICSN chemical library on various disease-relevant protein kinases led to the identification of natural flavonoidal alkaloids of unknown configuration as potent inhibitors of the CDK1 and CDK5 kinases. We thus developed an efficient and modular synthetic strategy for their preparation and that of analogues in order to determine the absolute configuration of the active natural flavonoidal alkaloids and to provide further insights on the structure-activity relationships in this series. The structural determinants of the interaction between some flavonoidal alkaloids with specific kinases were also evaluated using molecular modeling.

An efficient one-step synthesis of piperidin-2-yl and pyrrolidin-2-yl flavonoid alkaloids was achieved in good to excellent yields by a highly regioselective phenolic Mannich reaction of chrysin with cyclic imines or iminium salts. Performing the reaction in a mixture of H2O/THF in the absence of an external reagent afforded the C-6 alkylated product exclusively. The same reaction in water in the presence of NaOH provided the C-8 alkylated flavonoid as a major product. The reaction has been successfully extended to simple phenols.
