A series of flavones, substituted at the ring B, were synthesized using either Claisen-Schimdt Condensation or Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement. The synthesized compounds were tested for in vitro cytotoxic activity by sulforhodamine B assay against three cell lines of different origin, viz. HepG2, MCF-7, and MOLT-4. The compounds were also tested for a possible antioxidant activity by determination of inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Quercetin was taken as a standard for antioxidant activity. Compound 1c showed the highest cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 (GI50 0.1 μM) and MOLT-4 (GI50 0.1 μM) cell lines and was comparable to adriamycin, the standard used. Compounds 1b, 1g, and 1h also showed promising activity against MCF-7 and MOLT-4 cell lines. In the absence of a hydroxyl group, one or more methoxy groups present on the B-ring (compounds 1c-1e) were major determinants of inhibition of lipid peroxidation.

Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties have attracted more attention in recent years. In order to realise more valuable applications, the different kinds of AIEE molecules are in serious need of further development. Therefore, a novel flavone-based AIEE system derived from restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR) was designed and synthesized in this work. The results revealed that six of the compounds showed typical AIEE characteristics, with fluorescence emissions from purple, blue, cyan to green, tunable by changing substituent groups. This flavone-based AIEE system has never been reported before. The AIEE characteristics were investigated by optical spectroscopy, fluorescence photographs, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fluorescence quantum yields (φF) and fluorescence lifetime in the CH3OH/H2O mixed solution. Moreover, benefiting from the simple structures and small molecular weight, they could permeate cells faster than current high-molecular-weight AIEE molecules. Furthermore, to examine possible biomedical applications, fluorescence imaging in living A549 lung cells and cell viabilities were examined, and the results displayed that these fluorophores showed good cellular uptake and low cytotoxicity within the experimental concentration range. In addition, these AIEE compounds possessed excellent specificity for mitochondrial targeting and mitochondrial morphological change tracking, besides, they displayed superior photostability, which indicated they are potential candidates for mitochondrial imaging.

The tautomerism of a series of aryl-substituted 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-diones has been studied in deuteriochloroform solution by 1H n.m.r. techniques and, in the case of 1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione and 1-(2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione, in the solid state by X-ray crystallography.Of these compounds, most exist between 80 and 95percent in the enolised form in solution and 1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione adopts this tautomer in the crystal.However, 1-(2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione is present as the diketone in the solid phase and enolises very slowly in solution. 1-(6-Benzoyloxy-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one is shown by 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy possibly to adopt a 'coiled' conformation in solution in deuteriochloroform.
