| Biological Activity | Oroxylin A is a flavonoid isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis, which is one of the most important medicinal herbs in traditional Korean/Chinese/Japanese medicine. The amelioration of Abeta(25-35) peptide-induced memory impairment by oroxylin A is believed to be mediated via the GABAergic neurotransmitter system after a single administration, or by reductions in Abeta(25-35) peptide-induced astrocyte and microglia activations, iNOS expression, lipid peroxidation, and increased cholinergic neurotransmission after subchronic administration. |
| Synthesis | 973-67-1 480-11-5 The general procedure for the synthesis of 5,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-benzopyran-4-one from 5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-phenyl-4H-benzopyran-4-one was as follows: 5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-phenyl-4H-benzopyran-4-one (0.20 g, 0.64 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of 47% hydrobromic acid (5 mL) and glacial acetic acid (10 mL) in a mixed solution and the reaction was refluxed for 2 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was quenched by carefully pouring it into crushed ice (200 g). The resulting yellow precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol to afford 5,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-benzopyran-4-one (160 mg, 88% yield) with a melting point of 203-204 °C. The product structure was determined by 1H-NMR. The structure of the product was confirmed by 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6), IR, UV and MS analysis: 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ: 3.91 (3H, s), 6.94 (1H, s), 6.98 (1H, s), 7.59 (3H, m), 8.10 (2H, d, J = 6.3 Hz), 8.77 (1H, s), 12.49 (1H, s); IR (KBr) cm-1: 3435, 1667; UV λmax (EtOH) nm (log ε): 322 (4.12), 278 (4.35), 216 (4.42); MS m/z: 285 (MH+). |
