Activity-based fractionation of Eriodictyon californicum resulted in the isolation of 12 flavonoids that inhibit the metabolism of the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene by hamster embryo cells in tissue culture. One was identified as a new flavanone, 3'-methyl-4'-isobutyryleriodictyol [1], on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and alkaline hydrolysis. The seven other active flavanones were identified as eriodictyol [2], homoeriodictyol [3], 5,4'-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyflavanone [4], pinocembrin [5], sakuranetin [6], 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-6,3'-dimethoxyflavanone [7], and naringenin 4'-methyl ether [8]. Four active flavones were also isolated: cirsimaritin [9], chrysoeriol [10], hispidulin [11], and chrysin [12]. The high inhibition of benzo[a]pyrene metabolism and the activation of benzo[a]pyrene to ultimate carcinogenic DNA-binding metabolites by cirsimaritin and chrysoeriol at a concentration of only 10-mu-g/ml indicates that these flavones warrant further investigation in vivo as potential chemopreventive agents.
