Title: Inhibitory effect of synthetic C-C biflavones on various phospholipase A(2)s activity.

Abstract: Several prototypes of C-C biflavones (a-f) were synthesized and evaluated their inhibitory activity against phospholipase A(2)s (PLA(2)s) activity. The synthetic C-C biflavones (a-f) showed rather different inhibitory activity against various PLA(2)s. Most synthetic C-C biflavonoids exhibited potent and broad inhibitory activity against various sPLA(2)s and cPLA(2) tested regardless of their structural array. In particular, of natural and synthetic biflavonoids tested, the synthetic C-C biflavonoid (d) only showed inhibitory activity against sPLA(2) X. None of the natural and synthetic biflavonoids tested showed inhibitory activity against sPLA(2) IB. Further chemical modification of these basic structures will be carried out in order to investigate the synthetic C-C biflavones which possess more selective inhibitory activity against isozymes of PLA(2).
