Five flavonoids 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavonol (1), 5,7,3'-tribenzyloxy-4'-methoxy flavonol (2), 5,7,4'-trimethoxy- flavonol (3), acacetin (4) and 5,7-dihydroxy-4'-benzyloxyflavone (5) were synthesized from diosmetin or rhoifolin by O-methylation, dehydrogenation, glycoside hydrolysis, O-benzylation and dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) oxidation. Based on “Click chemistry”, ten novel flavonoids galactoconjugates 11~20 were synthesized in good yield using copper-mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of acetylgalactose azides and alkynyl-substituted flavonoids 6~10. Their biological activities against five human cancer cell lines were evaluated by the standard MTT method. The results showed that 11, 13 and 20 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against HL-60, SMMC-7721, MCF-7, SW480 and A-549 cancer cell lines.
Key words: flavonoids; galactoconjugates; Click chemistry; synthesis; biological activity
