Abstract: A novel series of 49 wogonin derivatives were synthesized by introducing group at 7-, 8- or B ring of wogonin. The cytotoxic activities against HepG2, A549 and BCG-823 cancer cell lines were also investigated in vitro. Several of them showed obvious cytotoxic activities and compound 3h possessed the highest potency against HepG2, A549, and BCG-823 with IC50 values of 1.07μM, 1.74μM and 0.98μM, respectively. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study of these synthetic derivatives as well as wogonin indicated that high solubility and low octanol/water partition coefficient are favorable, and excessive electrostatic properties and refractivity are unfavorable for the cytotoxic activities of these wogonin derivatives. These findings and results provide a base for further investigations.
