Selective synthesis of 7-O-substituted luteolin derivatives and their melanonenesis and proliferation inhibitory activity in B16 melanoma cells.
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 2018, 08-01, Volume: 28, Issue:14

    In our previous study, the isolation of ugonin J, K, and L, which are luteolin derivatives, from the roots of Helminthostachys zeylanica and their identification as potent melanogenesis inhibitors, was described. The structure activity relationship (SAR) investigation in that study revealed that the catechol moiety in the B-ring of the flavone skeleton of ugonin K was important for its melanogenesis inhibitory activity, and the presence of the low polarity substituents at the C-7 position enhanced this activity. In order to further investigate the SAR of the C-7-substituent in the luteolin derivatives, different groups were selectively introduced at the C-7 position of luteolin after borax protection of the catechol hydroxyl group and the C-5 hydroxyl group. NMR and MS analysis of the borax protected derivatives revealed that the borax protects not only hydroxyl groups of catechol on the B ring but also the 5-hydroxyl group on the A ring. Eight luteolin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for melanogenesis inhibitory effect in B16 melanoma cells. Two bulky groups and six alkoxyl groups were introduced at the C-7 position. The resulting luteolin derivatives showed improved melanogenesis and cell proliferation inhibitory activities. From among these derivatives, 7-O-hexylluteolin (7) showed the highest activity and inhibited the melanogenesis to 14% at 6.25 μM. The present study also revealed that the length of the carbon chain rather than the bulky substituent was more important for the melanogenesis inhibitory activity.
