摘要
Several classes of flavonoids (flavones, flavanones. 2'-hydroxychalcones and flavan-4-ols) having a variety of substituents on A ring were investigated for their antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Structure-activity relationships of these compounds were discussed. 2'-hydroxychalcones and methoxylated flavanones were found to be potent inhibitors of MCF-7 cells growth whereas flavones and flavan-4-ols appeared to be weak inhibitory agents except 7,8-dihydroxyflavone.
