Synthesis, selective cytotoxicities and probable mechanism of action of 7-methoxy-3-arylflavone-8-acetic acids

Thirteen new analogues of flavone-8-acetic acid, that is, compounds 10a–m bearing a methoxy group at the 7-position and diverse subsitiuents on the benzene ring at the 2- and 3-positions of flavone nucleus, were synthesized and evaluated for their direct antiproliferative effects on two human tumor cell lines and for their indirect antiproliferative activities in the transwell co-culture system. The results indicated that most of compounds 10a–m showed moderate direct cytotoxicities. Among them, compound 10i exhibited higher direct cytotoxicity and selectivity for both cell lines over BJ human foreskin fibroblast cells than 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA). Interestingly, compared with DMXAA, compound 10e showed comparable indirect cytotoxicity and higher selectivity. In addition, compound 10e was found to be able to induce tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
