Abstract


Background: Hepatotoxicity is liver damage due to exposure to a toxic substance such as medications, alcohol, or certain chemicals. Iron induced hepatotoxicity may occur if the supplement is taken in excess or for an extended period.

Methods: This study aimed to synthesize a series of flavone derivatives and estimate their roles as protective agents against iron-induced hepatotoxicity. Confirmation of the structure of the synthesized chalcone and flavone products was obtained through the use of FTIR spectroscopy as well as other physicochemical properties.

Results: Excellent yields of chalcone derivatives were obtained through Aldol condensation of 2-hydroxyacetophenone and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde using SOCl2/ETOH as a catalyst. In contrast, oxidative cyclization of the synthesized 2'-chalcone derivative in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with iodine affords the corresponding flavone derivatives.

Conclusion: The novel flavone compound exhibited a substantially efficient capability in hepatoprotection against iron overload, and we found that it exhibited antioxidant activity.

Keywords: Chalcone derivative, Flavone derivative, Ferrous sulfate, Hepatotoxicity
