RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Relationship Between the Structure of Methoxylated and Hydroxylated Flavones and Their Antiproliferative Activity in HL60 Cells JF Anticancer Research JO Anticancer Res FD International Institute of Anticancer Research SP 5679 OP 5684 DO 10.21873/anticanres.12904 VO 38 IS 10 A1 KAWAII, SATORU A1 ISHIKAWA, YUYA A1 YOSHIZAWA, YUKO YR 2018 UL http://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/38/10/5679.abstract AB As part of our continuing investigation on flavonoid derivatives as potential anticancer substances, a series of methoxylated and hydroxylated flavones was synthesized, and their cytotoxic and anti-proliferative activity was evaluated in leukemic HL60 cells. Their structure-activity relationship was also investigated. The correlation between the methoxylation/hydroxylation pattern and antiproliferative activity revealed the importance of the 5,4’- and 3’,4’-dihydroxyl moieties in flavone nucleus.
