is a medicinal plant of which bark decoctions are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of diarrhea symptoms in Gabon. The aim of the present work was to perform phytochemical and pharmacological analyses of decoctions of bark. In a principal approach, spectrophotometric analyses were used to quantify phenolic compounds, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry analysis that allowed the identification of flavanone-flavone dimers as the main metabolites.

This study aimed to investigate and compare the binding affinity of apigenin and its dimeric flavonoid forms to PIM1 kinase in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive and lethal brain cancer. Apigenin is a natural herbal product that has demonstrated anti-cancer effects in numerous studies, both in vitro and in vivo, on various cancers. Our in silico analysis showed that PIM1 expression was significantly higher in GBM tumor tissue compared to normal brain tissue, and high PIM1 expression correlated with worse survival rates in patients with GBM.

The 8-aryl-, 8-styryl- and 8-arylethynyl substituted 5-methoxyflavones were synthesized and characterized using a combination of spectroscopic techniques. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) study on a representative compound 3h shows an inverted dimer linked by fused ten and six-membered ring motifs involving intermolecular CO⋯HC and CH⋯OC hydrogen bonds. Compounds 3b, 3c, 3d, 4a and 4b exhibited strong activity against the human breast (MCF-7) cancer cell line (IC = 13.

The binding free energy results demonstrated that the flavonoids could tightly bind to the PD-L1 dimer, with the binding abilities following the trend Que > Kmp > Api. Key residues Ile54, Tyr56, Met115, Ala121, and Tyr123 were identified as important for binding.
