Advances in the First Total Synthesis of Natural Flavonoids

Flavonoids, composed of a C₆-C₃-C₆ backbone, are a kind of secondary metabolites of natural medicine, which widely exist in the higher plant. They have received extensive attention from all over the world and obtained rapid development owing to widespread distribution, structural complexity, active diversity, and molecular plasticity. Total synthesis of natural products is not only one of the most driving forces in organic chemistry but also the embodiment of the development level of organic synthesis chemistry. Total synthesis research possesses not only important theoretical significance to the development of organic chemistry but also potential marketing prospects to clinical medicine and significant practical value to the development of natural medicine. Flavonoids contain flavan, chalcone, flavone, biflavone, isoflavone, xanthone, pterocarpin, homoisoflavone, flavonol, favonolignan, and some other main structure types. This article summarizes the latest research on first total synthesis, including the plant sources and biological activities, of these main structure types, so as to provide some reference for both the research of first total synthesis of natural flavonoids and the development and utilization of their medicinal value.     

Synthesis and Activity Evaluation of Novel Prenylated Flavonoids as Antiproliferative Agents

Twenty prenylated flavonoids 1-20 were synthesized by glycoside hydrolysis, dehydrogenation, selective O-methylation, O-prenylation and Claisen rearrangement reaction, from abundant and inexpensive natural flavonoids naringin, hespiredin, quercetin and myricetin. Among them, 1-7, 10-15 and 17-20 are novel compounds, the natural product 3,3',4',7-tetramethoxy-8-prenyl-5-hydroxy flavonoid(16) was synthesized in a high yield. Their antiprolirative activities were evaluated in vitro on a panel of three human cancer cell lines(HeLa, HCC1954 and SK-OV-3). The results show that most of the target compounds displayed moderate to potent antiprolirative activities against the three cancer cells with half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC₅₀) values from 0.49 μmol/L to 95.07 μmol/L. Among them, 3',4',7-trimethoxyl-5-hydroxyl-8-prenyl flavonoid(12) exhibited the strongest antiprolirative activity against the three cancer cells mentioned above with IC₅₀ values of 0.91-7.08 μmol/L. 3',7-Dimethoxy-5-O-prenyl flavone(6) and 3',4',7-trimethoxy-5-O-prenyl flavone(10) showed selective antiproliferative activity against HCC1954 cells with IC₅₀ value of 0.49 and 5.32 μmol/L, respectively.     

First Total Synthesis of Mappain with a Prenylated and Geranylated Stilbene

The first total synthesis of naturally occurring mappain has been achieved by a convergent sequence.
