a-naphthoflavone

alpha-Naphthoflavone (7,8-benzoflavone), a synthetic flavonoid, is a potent inhibitor of aromatase with an I50 value of 0.5 μM.

β-Naphthoflavone-CH2-OH (β-NF-CH2-OH) serves as an AhR E3 ligase ligand, forming chimeric molecules when connected to a protein ligand through a linker, resulting in PROTACs or SNIPERs (e.g., β-naphthoflavone-JQ1). These chimeric molecules recruit the AhR E3 ligase complex by incorporating AhR ligands. By inducing ubiquitination-mediated degradation, PROTACs effectively target and degrade cancer-promoting proteins [1].

β-Naphthoflavone-CH2-Br is an arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligand. β-Naphthoflavone-CH2-Br used to synthesize the PROTAC β-NF-JQ1.

4'-Methyl-β-naphthoflavone, a metabolite of naphthoflavones (benzoflavones) in fungi, acts as an activator or inhibitor of CYP-450 [1].
