Botanical supplements derived from grapes are functional in animal model systems for the amelioration of neurological conditions, including cognitive impairment. Rats fed with grape extracts accumulate 3′-O-methyl-quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucuronide (3) in their brains, suggesting 3 as a potential therapeutic agent. To develop methods for the synthesis of 3 and the related 4′-O-methyl-quercetin-7-O-β-d-glucuronide (4), 3-O-methyl-quercetin-3′-O-β-d-glucuronide (5), and 4′-O-methyl-quercetin-3′-O-β-d-glucuronide (6), which are not found in the brain, we have evaluated both enzymatic semisynthesis and full chemical synthetic approaches. Biocatalysis by mammalian UDP-glucuronosyltransferases generated multiple glucuronidated products from 4′-O-methylquercetin, and is not cost-effective. Chemical synthetic methods, on the other hand, provided good results; 3, 5, and 6 were obtained in six steps at 12, 18, and 30% overall yield, respectively, while 4 was synthesized in five steps at 34% overall yield. A mechanistic study on the unexpected regioselectivity observed in the quercetin glucuronide synthetic steps is also presented.

Aryl diketoacid (ADK) is well known for antiviral activity which can be enhanced by introduction of an aromatic arylmethyl substituent. A natural flavonoid quercetin has a 3,5-dihydroxychromone pharmacophore which is in bioisosteric relationship with the
