Sophoflavescenol is a prenylated flavonol, which shows great inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ of 0.013 μM against Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), and also inhibits RLAR, HRAR, AGE, BACE1, AChE and BChE with IC₅₀s of 0.30 µM, 0.17 µM, 17.89 µg/mL, 10.98 µM, 8.37 µM and 8.21 µM, respectively.

Sophoflavescenol shows cytotoxicity against human leukaemia (HL-60), Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), and human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial (A549) cells. Sophoflavescenol exerts notable anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting nitric oxide generation and tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced ROS generation rather than inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B activation in RAW 264.7 cells^[1]. Sophoflavescenol exhibits remarkable inhibition of RLAR activity with an IC₅₀ value of 0.30 µM, compared with 0.07 µM for epalrestat, a well known ARI. Sophoflavescenol also shows potent inhibitory activity with an IC₅₀ value of 0.17 µM, comparable to epalrestat (0.15 µM) in the HRAR assay. In the AGE assay, sophoflavescenol (IC₅₀ 17.89 µg/mL) is a more potent inhibitor of AGE formation than aminoguanidine (IC₅₀ 81.05 µg/mL). Sophoflavescenol exerts both potent AChE and BChE inhibitory effects with respective IC₅₀ values of 8.37 and 8.21 µM. Sophoflavescenol also exhibits good BACE1 inhibition in a dose-dependent manner with an IC₅₀ value of 10.98 µM^[2]. Sophoflavescenol is a mixed inhibitor (K_i=0.005 μM) against cGMP PDE5. Sophoflavescenol shows greatest selectivity toward PDE5, 31.5- and 196.2-fold over PDE3 and PDE4, respectively^[3].

Briefly, a mixture of 10 µL of assay buffer (50 mm sodium acetate, pH 4.5), 10 µL of BACE1 (1.0 U/mL), 10 µL of the substrate (750 nm Rh-EVNLDAEFK-Quencher in 50 mm, ammonium bicarbonate) and 10 µL of the tested samples [final concentration (f.c.) 100 µM for compounds] dissolved in 10% DMSO is incubated for 60 min at 25°C in the dark. The proteolysis of two fluorophores (Rh-EVNLDAEFK-Quencher) by BACE1 is monitored by formation of the fluorescent donor (Rh-EVNL) that increased in fluorescence wavelengths at 530-545 nm (excitation) and 570-590 nm (emission), respectively. Fluorescence is measured with a microplate spectrofluorometer. The mixture is irradiated at 545 nm and the emission intensity recorded at 585 nm. The percent inhibition (%) is obtained by the following equation: % Inhibition=[1 − (S60 − S0)/(C60 − C0)] × 100, where C60 is the fluorescence of the control (enzyme, buffer, substrate) after 60 min of incubation, C0 the initial fluorescence of the control, S60 the fluorescence of the tested samples (enzyme, sample solution, substrate) after 60 min of incubation, and S0 the initial fluorescence of the tested samples. To allow for the quenching effect of the samples, the sample solution is added to reaction mixture C, and any reduction in fluorescence by the sample is then investigated. The BACE1 inhibitory activity of each sample is expressed in terms of the IC₅₀ value (µM required to inhibit proteolysis of the BACE1 substrate, by 50%), as calculated from the log-dose inhibition curve.
