Abstract

Several analogs of the gastroprotective molecule flavone have been synthesized and evaluated for gastroprotective activity. A C2–C3 double bond and an intact C ring appear necessary for optimum activity. Activity can be retained by replacing the 2-phenyl substituent with other groups but is eliminated when this ring is moved from the 2-to the 3-position.
