Abstract

Our long-term research goals involve the SARs study and the synthetic procedure development of wogonin and its analogs. We investigated efficient synthetic pathways of wogonin and its bioisosteres in a large quantity to decipher the structural requirements for anti-inflammatory activities. We plan to serially delete or modify the 5,7-dihydroxyl groups of wogonin to observe the effects of the hydroxyl groups on anti-inflammatory activity. Also we modofied the 8- methoxy group on a ring since it is known to be necessary for biological activity. (omitted)
