A few examples of 5-aminoflavones' syntheses exist in the literature and for those, which are described, the amino group is introduced before the formation of the flavone skeleton. We describe here an efficient method, which permits the access to 5-aminoflavones by a simple procedure using an SNAr amination under microwaves irradiation.

A series of 28 flavonoid derivatives containing a N-benzylpiperazine chain have been synthesized and tested for their ability to modulate multidrug resistance (MDR) in vitro. At 5 μM, most compounds potentiated doxorubicin cytotoxicity on resistant K562/DOX cells. They were also able to increase the intracellular accumulation of JC-1, a fluorescent molecule recently described as a probe of P-glycoprotein-mediated MDR. This suggests that these compounds act, at least in part, by inhibiting P-glycoprotein activity. As in other studies, lipophilicity was shown to influence MDR- modulating activity but was not the only determinant. Diverse di- and trimethoxy substitutions on N-benzyl were examined and found to affect the activity differently. The most active compounds had a 2,3,4- trimethoxybenzylpiperazine chain attached to either a flavone or a flavanone moiety (13, 19, 33, and 37) and were found to be more potent than verapamil.
