Abstract
Isoflavones are phenolic natural compounds with a C6C3C6 framework. They possess a plethora of biological activities that are associated with putative benefits to human health. In particular, the cancer chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic potential of isoflavones has attracted the interest of researchers. Several isoflavone derivatives have been synthesised and probed for their anticancer activities. The isoflavone analogues are mainly synthesised by molecular hybridisation and other strategies that enable diversification through early or late-stage functionalisation of A-, B- and C-rings of the isoflavones. This has resulted in the discovery of isoflavone analogues with improved antiproliferative activities against several cancer cells and different mechanisms of action. In this review, the synthesis of isoflavone derivatives and their anticancer activity studies are discussed.
异黄酮是一种具有 C6C3C6 框架的酚类天然化合物。它们具有多种生物活性,可能对人类健康有益。特别是异黄酮的癌症化学预防和化学治疗潜力引起了研究人员的兴趣。已经合成了几种异黄酮衍生物,并对其抗癌活性进行了研究。异黄酮类似物主要是通过分子杂交和其他策略合成的,这些策略通过对异黄酮的 A 环、B 环和 C 环进行早期或晚期的官能化来实现多样化。因此,人们发现了异黄酮类似物,它们对多种癌细胞具有更好的抗增殖活性,并具有不同的作用机制。本综述将讨论异黄酮衍生物的合成及其抗癌活性研究。
