A central part (amino-acid position 268-397 of 458 amino-acid residues) of the biphenyl dioxygenase large (alpha) subunit, BphA1, from Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes strain KF707 was exchanged with the corresponding part of BphA1 from another biphenyl-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas putida strain KF715, to

Previous studies have shown chrysin, 7-hydroxyflavone and 7,4'-dihydroxyflavone to be the most potent flavonoid inhibitors of aromatase. However, very poor oral bioavailability is a major limitation for the successful use of dietary flavonoids as chemopreventive agents. We have recently shown
Four flavones (flavone, 7-hydroxyflavone, chrysin, and baicalein) sharing the same B- and C-ring structure but a different numbers of hydroxyl groups on the A-ring were studied for their affinities for BSA and HSA. The hydroxylation on ring A of flavones

Fermentation of 3-hydroxyflavone (1) with Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 13144) yielded 3,4'-dihdroxyflavone (3), flavone 3-O-beta-D-4-O-methylglucopyranoside (4) and two minor metabolites. 7-Hydroxyflavone (2) was transformed by Nocardia species (NRRL 5646) to 7-methoxyflavone (5) whilst Aspergillus alliaceus (ATCC 10060) converted it to 4',7-dihydroxyflavone
Steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy have been used to probe microenvironments of the therapeutically active intrinsically fluorescent flavonoid, 7-hydroxyflavone (7-HF), in model membranes consisting of multilamellar phosphatidylcholine liposomes. Additionally, the antioxidant effects of 7-HF against lipid peroxidation have
