大豆異黃酮廣泛存在於天然植物中,它擁有各式的生理活性,包括了抗腫瘤、抗菌、抗病毒、抗發炎、抗氧化以及心血管方面的作用。由於更年期間雌激素缺乏,造成大豆異黃酮在預防骨質流失方面受到相當的重視。然而,大豆異黃酮衍生物在抗蝕骨細胞上的結構與活性的關係尚未被確認。為了發展更多有效的藥物,我們合成了一系列異黃酮的衍生物,並探討其抗腫瘤及抑制破骨細胞的活性。其中以7-(6-(piperazin-1-yl)hexyloxy)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (6o)、7-(7-(piperazin-1-yl)heptyloxy)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen -4-one (6p) 具有明顯的抗腫瘤以及抑制破骨細胞的活性。
Isoflavonoids belongs to one of the ubiquitous families of natural products that possess a wide variety of biological activities including antiproliferative, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardiovascular effects. Much attention has been focus on the role of isoflavonoids in preventing bone loss resulted at least in part from the estrogen deficiency. However, the anti-osteoporotic structure-activity relationship (SAR) of isoflavone derivatives has not been established. To explore more potent drug candidates, we have prepared a number of isoflavone derivatives and investigated for their antiproliferative and anti-osteoporotic activities. Among them, 7-(6-(piperazin-1-yl)hexyloxy) -3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (6o)、7-(7-(piperazin-1-yl) heptyloxy)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (6p) have shown significant antiproliferative and/or anti-osteoporotic activities.
