Abstract

In a continuation of our search for novel anti-platelet agents, isoflavone quinone and isoflavanquinone were selected as lead compounds and the synthesis of their methoxy derivatives was carried out. Among them, the 4'-and 7-methoxy derivatives were successfully prepared, whereas the attempt to obtain 3'-methoxy derivatives resulted in their isomers, 3'-methoxyflavone quinone and 3'-methoxyflavanquinone, instead.After screening for their anti-platelet, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities, a preliminary structure-activity relationship was established.Compounds 6c, 7a-c, 8c and 9a-c were found to exhibit significant activities. In particular, compound 7c demonstrated very potent anti-platelet, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities and was then recommended for further pharmacological investigation.
