Abstract
A series of furoxan-based nitric oxide-releasing chrysin derivatives were synthesized. Pharmacological assays indicated that all chrysin derivatives exhibited in vitro inhibitory activities against aldose reductase and advanced glycation end-product formation. Some chrysin derivatives were also found to increase the glucose consumption of HepG2 cells. Furthermore, the compounds released a low amount of NO in the presence of L-cysteine (range from 0.20% to 1.89%). These hybrid furoxan-based NO donor chrysin derivatives offer a mutual prodrug design concept for the development of therapeutic or preventive agents for vascular complications due to diabetes.
