Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are a subgroup of flavonoids possessing various health benefits. 3,5,7,4′-Tetramethoxyflavone (1), 5,6,7,4′-tetramethylflavone (2), 3,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (3), 5,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (4), 5-hydroxy-3,7,2′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (5), 3,5,7,2′,4′-pentamethoxyflavone (6), 5-hydroxy-3,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (7), 3-hydroxy-5,7,3′,4′-tetramethylflavone (8), 3,5,7,3′,4′-pentamethoxyflavone (9), 5-hydroxy-3,7,3′,4′,5′-pentamethoxyflavone (10), 3-hydroxy-5,7,3′,4′,5′-pentamethoxyflavone (11), and 3,5,7,3′,4′,5′-hexamethoxylflavone (12) were 12 bioactive and available PMFs. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic, metabolite, and antitumor activities as well as the structure-pharmacokinetic-antitumor activity relationships of these 12 PMFs to facilitate further studies of their medicinal potentials. The cytotoxicity of PMFs with a hydroxy group toward HeLa, A549, HepG2, and HCT116 cancer cell lines was generally significantly more potent than that of PMFs without a hydroxy group. Compounds 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 were all undetectable in rat plasma, while compounds 1-4, 6, 9, and 12 were detectable. Both the number and position of hydroxy and methoxy groups played an important role in modulating PMF pharmacokinetics and metabolites.

A broad screening of phytochemicals has demonstrated that certain flavone and flavonol derivatives have a relatively high affinity at A3 adenosine receptors, with K(i) values of ≥1 μM (Ji et al. J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 781-788). We have further modified the flavone structure to achieve a degree of selectivity for cloned human brain A3 receptors, determined in competitive binding assays versus [125I]AB-MECA [N6-(4-amino-3- iodebenzyl)adenosine-5'-(N-methyluronamide)]. Affinity was determined in radioligand binding assays at rat brain A1 and A(2A) receptors using [3H]- N6-PIA ([3H]-(R)-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine) and [3H]CGS21680 [[3H]-2- [[4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenyl]ethylamino]-5'-(N-ethylcarbamoyl)adenosine], respectively. The triethyl and tripropyl ether derivatives of the flavonol galangin, 4, had K(i) values of 0.3-0.4 μM at human A3 receptors. The presence of a 5-hydroxyl group increased selectivity of flavonols for human A3 receptors. The 2',3,4',7-tetraethyl ether derivative of the flavonol morin, 7, displayed a K(i) value of 4.8 μM at human A3 receptors and was inactive at rat A1/A(2A) receptors. 3,6-Dichloro-2'-(isopropyloxy)-4'- methylflavone, 11e, was both potent and highly selective (~200-fold) for human A3 receptors (K(i) = 0.56 μM). Among dihydroflavonol analogues, the 2-styryl instead of the 2-aryl substituent, in 15, afforded selectivity for human A3 vs rat A1 or A(2A) receptors. The 2-styryl-6-propoxy derivative, 20, of the furanochromone visnagin was 30-fold selective for human A3 receptors vs either rat A1 or A(2A) receptors. Several of the more potent derivatives effectively antagonized the effects of an agonist in a functional A3 receptor assay, i.e. inhibition of adenylyl cyclase in CHO cells expressing cloned rat A3 receptors. In conclusion, these series of flavonoids provide leads for the development of novel potent and subtype selective A3 antagonists.

The title flavone (II) has been synthesised starting from 2'-hydroxy-2,4,4',6'-tetramethoxychalkone (VII).VII on treatment with H2O2 in the presence of alkali gives 3-hydroxy-5,7,2',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (III), which on methylation affords 3,5,7,2',4'-pe
