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

In a screening programme for inhibitors of human testis 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17beta-HSD type 3), as potential agents for the treatment of hormone-dependent prostatic cancer, we have used crude human testis microsomal 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase as a convenient source of the enzyme.

A series of 4-aryl substituted 7-hydroxy-flavones were prepared using the three-step Baker-Venkataraman synthesis in good overall yields. The flavones were all evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity against aromatase (P450AROM, CYP19), using human placental microsomes, and for inhibitory activity against
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
