The 1H and 13C chemical shifts of eleven flavone derivatives were completely determined by basic 1D and 2D
NMR experiments. Nineteen flavone derivatives including the above eleven derivatives were examined for
anti-oxidative effects using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl assay and Caenorhabditis elegans. In order to
understand the relationships between the structures of flavone derivatives and their anti-oxidative activities, a
Comparative Molecular Field Analysis was performed.

Introduction
anti-oxidative activity, therefore its activity could be compared with the activity of vitamin C. Since an indirect
ligand-based approach can help to understand the structureactivity relationships, a Comparative Molecular Field Analysis
was performed to study quantitative structure activity
relationships (QSAR) of the 19 flavone derivatives.

were followed to Brenners
method. Strain N2 was used as a wild-type strain for most
analyses. They were provided by the
Genetics Center. Wild-type N2 worms were grown at 20 C
on nematode growth medium (NGM) agar plates containing
(OP50). Paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium
dichloride hydrate, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was used
for generating internal reactive oxygen species in
.
Wild type N2 worms were synchronized at L1 stage by
hatching embryos in M9 buffer (42 mM of KH PO , 2 mM
of Na HPO , 0.86 M of NaCl, 1 mM of MgSO ) and 50
worms were transferred on to NGM agar plate containing
OP50
and 1 mM of each flavone. Worms were grown
at 20 C until they reached at a gravid adult stage and they
were then treated with 80 mM paraquat in M9 buffer for 20
h at 20 C. Since flavone was dissolved in DMSO, worms
were also grown on plates containing 0.5% DMSO. The
treated worms were transferred onto the fresh NGM agar
plate without OP50 and recovered for 1 hr and scored for
survival. They were counted as dead if they did not respond
to a touch on its head.
Structure-activity relationships (SARs). In order to
identify the relationships between the structures of flavone
derivatives and their anti-oxidative activities, a threedimensional (3D) quantitative structure activity relationship
study (QSAR) was conducted based on a Comparative
Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA). They were carried out
using SYBYL 7.2 (Tripos, St. Louis, MO) on a Pentium 3.2
GHz PC with a Linux OS (Red Hat Enterprise WS). The
structures of flavone derivatives were built with the Sketcher
module and the energy minimized by the conjugate gradient
method using a Tripos force field. The steric and electrostatic fields in CoMFA were calculated at each lattice
intersection of a regularly spaced grid of 0.25 in all three
dimensions within the defined region, and the van der Waals
potential and Coulombic energy between the probe and the
molecule were calculated using a standard Tripos force field.
The final CoMFA model exhibited a cross-validated correlation coefficient (q2) of 0.65 and conventional correlation
coefficient (r2) of 0.84.
Statistical analysis. The data are reported as the mean of
three independent experiments, and were evaluated by
Students -test. Values of < 0.05 were considered to be
statistically significant.
