Syntheses of mono-acylated luteolin derivatives, evaluation of their antiproliferative and radical scavenging activities and implications on their oral bioavailability
Abstract Luteolin is a flavonoid found in a wide range of plant materials, including commonly eaten fruits and vegetables. It displays a wide range of biological activities but is known to have poor bioavailability. In this study, ten different mono-acyl (nine 5-O-acyl and one 7-O-acyl) derivatives...

| Sumario: | Abstract Luteolin is a flavonoid found in a wide range of plant materials, including commonly eaten fruits and vegetables. It displays a wide range of biological activities but is known to have poor bioavailability. In this study, ten different mono-acyl (nine 5-O-acyl and one 7-O-acyl) derivatives of luteolin were synthesised for the purpose of improving bioactivity and bioavailability, and therefore enhance their therapeutic potential. The antiproliferative activity of these derivatives was assessed against the HCT116 colon cancer and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines using a 3[H] thymidine incorporation assay. The radical scavenging activity of these derivatives against 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical using Trolox as a standard, was also assessed. Some of these derivatives were found to have improved antiproliferative activity with comparable radical scavenging activity compared to luteolin. Increased lipophilicity has been shown to increase the bioavailability of flavonoids implying these analogues will also have increased bioavailability. |
