Synthesis of per-sulfated flavonoids using 2,2,2-trichloro ethyl protecting group and their factor Xa inhibition potential

The synthesis of per-sulfated flavonoids, organic compounds with multiple sulfate groups, is challenging. We present here a two-step synthesis of fully sulfated flavonoids in high overall yields using the 2,2,2-trichloroethyl moiety as a protecting group. The two-step synthesis results in exclusive formation of the per-sulfated product in contrast to common sulfating agents that yield differentially sulfated mixture of compounds. Most per-sulfated flavonoids studied are activators of antithrombin for accelerated inhibition of factor Xa, a key enzyme of the blood coagulation cascade. As a group the per-sulfated flavonoids possess a range of factor Xa inhibition potential.     

Inhibition of wheat embryo calcium-dependent protein kinase and avian myosin light chain kinase by flavonoids and related compounds.

Avian myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) is inhibited by a range of plant-derived flavonoids. Maximal inhibition requires 2,3-unsaturation and polyhydroxylation of two of the three flavonoid rings. Phosphorylation of a synthetic myosin light chain-related peptide by wheat embryo Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) is also inhibited by a range of flavonoids but phosphorylation of histone preparation III-S by wheat CDPK is not inhibited by flavonoids. The structural requirements for inhibition of wheat CDPK by flavonoids are more stringent than for inhibition of avian MLCK. Potent flavonoid inhibitors of wheat CDPK are unsaturated in 2,3 position, have hydroxyl groups in positions 3' and 4' and an additional hydroxyl in the chromone ring. Flavonoid glycosylation or methylation can abolish inhibition. A number of other naturally occurring plant phenolics including chalcones and gossypol also inhibit avian MLCK and wheat CDPK. Gossypol binds to calmodulin, abolishing Ca(2+)-dependent enhancement of dansyl-calmodulin fluorescence.     

Comparative α-Naphthoflavone and β-Naphthoflavone Inhibits the Formation of a Carcinogenic Estrogen Metabolite

17β-Estradiol (E2) is hydrolyzed to 2-hydroxy-E2 and 4-hydroxy-E2 (4-OH-E2) via cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1B1. In estrogen target tissues including the mammary gland, ovaries and uterus, CYP1B1 is highly expressed, and 4-OH-E2 is predominantly formed in cancerous tissues. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory activity of α-naphthoflavone and β-naphthoflavone against CYP1B1 using estrogen E2 as substrate in vitro to reveal structure–activity relationship between structure of flavonoids and inhibition. The results showed that α-naphthoflavone and β-naphthoflavone possessed inhibitory activity against CYP1B1-mediated E2 and the inhibition of α-naphthoflavone was stronger than β-naphthoflavone. By kinetic analyses, α-naphthoflavone displayed uncompetitive inhibition, while β-naphthoflavone displayed mixed inhibition. Taken together, the data suggested that the benzo at A ring of flavonoids play a prominent role in CYP1B1 inhibition, especially 7,8-benzo is better than 5,6-benzo. This study may help to reveal the relationship between the structure of flavonoids and the inhibition CYP1B1 for discovering new drugs in cancer therapy and prevention.

Flavonoids are potential inhibitors of glucose uptake in U937 cells.

Flavonoids are a group of polyphenolic compounds ubiquitously found in plants including fruits, and vegetables. Broad ranges of the biological activities of flavonoids have been reported using in vitro studies. I report that several natural flavonoids blocked glucose uptake in myelocytic U937 cells. Although there were some variations in the blocking activity of individual flavonoids, approximately half of the glucose uptake was blocked by flavonoids at the concentrations of 8-50 microM. The decreasing order of the blocking activity was fisetin >/= myricetin >/= quercetin >/= apigenin > genistein > cyanidin > daidzein >/= hesperetin > naringenin > catechin. Fisetin showed approximately 50% inhibition of glucose uptake at a concentration of 8 microM. Similar patterns of the inhibition were observed in lymphocytic Jurkat cells. Fisetin and quercetin inhibited glucose transport in a competitive manner. K(i) values for fisetin and quercetin were proximately 9 and 12 microM, respectively. This study showed that some types of natural flavonoids block glucose uptake in U937 cells and that natural flavonoids could be used as alternative blockers of glucose uptake in vitro.     

Presence of Fatty Acid Synthase Inhibitors in the Rhizome of Alpinia officinarum Hance

The galangal (the rhizome of Alpinia officinarum, Hance) is popular in Asia as a traditional herbal medicine. The present study reports that the galangal extract (GE) can potently inhibit fatty-acid synthase (FAS, E.C.2.3.1.85). The inhibition consists of both reversible inhibition with an IC50 value of 1.73?μg?dried?GE/ml, and biphasic slow-binding inactivation. Subsequently the reversible inhibition and slow-binding inactivation to FAS were further studied. The inhibition of FAS by galangin, quercetin and kaempferol, which are the main flavonoids existing in the galangal, showed that quercetin and kaempferol had potent reversible inhibitory activity, but all three flavonoids had no obvious slow-binding inactivation. Analysis of the kinetic results led to the conclusion that the inhibitory mechanism of GE is totally different from that of some other previously reported inhibitors of FAS, such as cerulenin, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and C75.
