Synthesis and anti-osteoporotic evaluation of certain 3-amino-2-hydroxypropoxyisoflavone derivatives.

摘要

We report herein the synthesis and anti-osteoporotic evaluation of certain 3-amino-2-hydroxypropoxyisoflavone derivatives. The results indicated that 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-7-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)-4H-chromen-4-one (4) and 3-{4-[3-(cyclohexylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]phenyl}-7-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one (5a) exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoclast activity (TRAP activity in RAW 264.7 with an ED(50) of 0.56 and 2.28 microM respectively). Both compounds have also exhibited very strong osteogenic effects, approximately a 10-fold effect of Ipriflavone on mineralization of osteoblasts (MC3T3E1 cells, a preosteoblast cell line derived from calvaria of C57BL/6 mice). Results indicated the potency on enhancing mineralization in D1 cells (a bone marrow mesenchymal cell line derived from BALB/c mice) decreased in an order 4>Ipriflavone>5a. However, the potency on enhancing mineralization in human adipose tissue derived stem cells (hADSCs) decreased in an order 5a>4>Raloxifene>Ipriflavone. Compound 5a has been found to be non-cytotoxic and especially active in the enhancement of mineralization in human adipose tissue derived stem cells. Therefore, 5a was selected as a potential lead for further structural optimization.
