Synthesis and biological evaluation of flavanones and flavones related to podophyllotoxin

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 1998 Jan;46(1):79-83. doi: 10.1248/cpb.46.79.

Abstract

A series of novel flavonoids comprising structural elements present in the antineoplastic agents podophyllotoxin and etoposide was synthesized. These oxygen-containing analogues of antiproliferative quinolones moderate cytotoxicity towards L1210 and HT-29 cell lines.
