چکیده

BACKGROUND Isoflavonoids are of interest owing to their appearance in metabolic pathways of isoflavones, and their estrogenic and other physiological properties, making them promising lead compounds for drug design. RESULTS The reduction of isoflavones by various hydride reagents occurs by a 1,4-pathway in contrast to ordinary beta-alkoxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. Isoflavan-4-ones, cis- and trans-isoflavan-4-ols, alpha-methyldeoxybenzoins or 1,2-diphenylprop-2-en-1-ols are obtained depending on the hydride reagent, mostly in good yields. The stereoselective reduction of isoflavan-4-ones is also discussed. CONCLUSION The work described in this paper shows that most structural types of reduced isoflavonoids are now reliably available in satisfactory or good yields by hydride reductions to be used as authentic reference compounds in analytical and biological studies.

Discovery of low energy pathways to metal-mediated BN bond reduction guided by computation and experiment

This manuscript describes a combination of DFT calculations and experiments to assess the reduction of borazines (B–N heterocycles) by h-coordination to Cr(CO)3 or [Mn(CO)3] + fragments. The energy requirements for borazine reduction are established as well as the extent to which coordination of borazine to a transition metal influences hydride affinity, basicity, and subsequent reduction steps...

Phytoestrogens: recent developments

Phytoestrogens are polyphenolic non-steroidal plant compounds with estrogen like activity exerted through estrogen receptors. These receptors are distributed in several tissues such as male and female reproductive systems, bones, cardiovascular and central nervous systems. These natural phenolic compounds include isoflavonoids, flavonoids, lignans and stilbenes. Isoflavonoids are the most studi...
