- Discovery and synthesis of rocaglaol derivatives inducing apoptosis in HCT116 cells via suppression of MAPK signaling pathway
-
Six rocaglaol derivatives were isolated from Dysoxylum gotadhora, and those compounds showed good cytotoxic activity with IC50 values ranging from 10 to 350 ng/mL against five different cancer cells. Obviously, further total synthesis of rocaglaol derivatives for medical chemistry study is of great significance. Then, twenty six rocaglaol derivatives including 25 new compounds were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against three human cancer cell lines: human colon cancer cells (HCT116), colorectal cancer stem cells (P6C), and human red leukocyte leukemia cells (HEL), using MTT assay. Most of derivatives showed good cytotoxic activities, with the lowest IC50 being 3.2 nM for HEL cells, which was 169 times stronger than that of the positive control (doxorubicin). Further mechanism study indicated that 11k could significantly suppress MAPK pathway in HCT116 cells, which may responsible for induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

- New approach to flavonols via base-mediated cyclization: Total synthesis of 3,5,6,7-tetramethoxyflavone
-
A new methodology for the synthesis of flavonols is described. The key step is a base-mediated cyclization-isomerization-elimination reaction which results in the formation of flavonols. Using this strategy, three flavonols are synthesized and characteriz

The SAR studies suggested that the C-ring of baicalein (1) was not necessary for the activity, and validated the importance of 2,3,4- trihydroxybenzoyl structure of 1. Thus, a series of 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoyl- containing flavonoid analogs were investigat

- Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Flavones and Chromones Using Cycloacylation Reactions and C-3 Functionalization. A Total Synthesis of Hormothamnione
-
The cycloacylations of hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted phenols with aryl- and alkylpropiolic acids using Eaton's reagent (10percent phosphorus pentoxide in methanesulfonic acid) gives highly substituted flavones and chromones in up to 63 percent yield.Styrylchromones were prepared from 2-methylchromones by condensation reactions of the 2-methyl group with various substituted benzaldehydes in sodium ethoxide and ethanol in almost quantitative yield.Methylation or hydroxylation at C-3 of these highly substituted flavones and styrylchromones was accomplished in a highly regioselective manner employing lithium diisopropylamide followed by quenching with an electrophile.Quenching of the initial anion with methyl triflate gave 3-methyl products while quenching of the initial anion with trimethylborate followed by oxidation gave 3-hydroxy products.A total synthesis of the naturally occurring styrylchromone hormothamnione, containing a 3-methyl substituent, is reported by use of these synthetic techniques.
