Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and ATPase inhibitory factor (ATPIF) 1 is often overexpressed in different types of cancer cells. Chrysin is a naturally-occurring flavonoid with antioxidant potentials, but also known to promote apoptosis. We have synthesized four chrysin derivatives and found compounds 1 and 4 remarkably upregulated the expression of HO-1, a cytoprotective enzyme. A robust expression of ATPIF1 was only seen in compound 4. Upregulation of both proteins triggers cell death in hydrogen peroxide-primed cells. Ten derivatives of compound 4 were synthesized and measured the expression of HO-1 and ATPIF1. Again, upregulation of both proteins by compound 8 killed the cells via apoptosis. To gain a physiological significance, we treated the synthetic flavonoids in colon cancer cells, HT29 and HCT116 cells and confirmed that overexpression of both HO-1 and ATPIF1 was critical for tumor cell death with an impaired mitochondrial energetics. It would provide a strategy for developing selective anti-tumor candidates.
