Isoflavanone has been synthesized from the reduction of isoflavone in nearly quantitative yield. Isoflavone with seven equivalents of ammonium formate in the presence of Pd/C in ethanol under $N_2$ atmosphere exclusively produced the two-electron reduced product in two hours. It was characterized by various spectroscopic methods, including UV-VIS, EI-MS, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR and $^1H$, $^1H$-COSY. The racemic mixture was separated by Sumi-Chiral column chromatography and the absolute configurations of the enantiomers were characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy.

항균활성이 우수한 회화나무 목부로부터 4종의 isoflavonoid 화합물을 단리하였으며, 기기분석 결과 3종의 isoflavone인 5,7-dihydroxy-4',6-dimethoxyisoflavone(irisolidone)을 비롯하여, 5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone(Biochanin A), 7-hydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone(formononetin) 그리고 1종의 isoflavanone인 7-hydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavanone으로 각각 동정하였다. 이들 단리 물질의 항균활성을 배지점적법으로 조사한 결과 4종의 isoflavonoid 공히 낮은 항균활성을 나타내어, 회화나무 목부의 높은 항균활성은 본 실험에서 단리한 물질 이외의 물질이 관여하는 것으로 추정되며 금후 관련물질의 탐색이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

Two new isoflavanones, (3R) 7,2',4'-trihydroxy-3'-methoxy-5-methoxycarbonyl-isoflavanone (1) and (3R) 7,2'-dihydroxy-3',4'-dimethoxy-5-methoxycarbonyl-isoflavanone (2), together with six known isoflavanones (3-8), were isolated from the stems of Cassia siamea. The structure of 1-8 was elucidated by spectroscopic methods including extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques. Compounds 1, 2, 5-8 were evaluated for their anti-tobacco mosaic virus (Anti-TMV) activity. The results showed that compounds 1 and 6 showed potential anti-TMV activity with inhibition rates of 24.6% and 26.9%, respectively. Compounds 2, 5, 7, 8 also showed anti-TMV activity with inhibition rates in the range of 11.8-18.6%.

Two new isoflavanones, (3R) 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-2'-methoxyisoflavanone (1) and (3R) 5',8-di-(${\gamma}$,${\gamma}$-dimethylallyl)-2',5-dihydroxyl-4',7-dimethoxyl-isoflavanone (2), were isolated from Uraria clarkei, together with two known compounds dalbergioidin (3), 5,7-dihydroxy-2',4'-dimethoxyisoflavanone (4). The structures involving the absolute configuration of the new compounds were well elucidated by MS, IR, UV, CD, 1D and 2D NMR analyses. Cytotoxicity of the four compounds were assessed, results suggested that compound 2 possessed well cytotoxic activity, against the Hela, K562, and HL60 cell lines with $IC_{50}$ values of 28.0, 40.6 and $35.1{\mu}M$, respectively.
