Application

Anthraflavic acid can be used as a starting material to synthesize tetrahydroxy tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, which are used as redox-active building blocks in supramolecular and materials science. It is also utilized to prepare phosphanylidene anthra[2,1-b]furans by reacting with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine.

Administration of the antimutagen anthraflavic acid to rats gave rise to significant increases in the hepatic microsomal O-deethylations of ethoxyresorufin and ethoxycoumarin, but not in the O-dealkylation of pentoxyresorufin nor in cytosolic glutathione S-transferase activity.

Consideration of the computer-optimised dimensions of anthraflavic acid indicates that it is essentially a planar molecule with a large area/depth ratio, that would preferentially interact with the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-induced family of cytochrome P-450 proteins (cytochromes P-448). Anthraflavic acid was

Our recent studies have shown that naturally occurring dietary plant phenols such as tannic acid, quercetin, myricetin, and anthraflavic acid are capable of inhibiting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolism and subsequent PAH-DNA adduct formation in epidermis of SENCAR mice (M.
