Synthesis of Flavone Derivatives via <i>N</i>-Amination and Evaluation of Their Anticancer Activities

Seventeen new flavone derivatives substituted at the 4&#8242;-OH position were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer and antibacterial activities. Among them, compounds <b>3</b>, <b>4</b>, <b>6f</b>, <b>6e</b>, <b>6b</b&...
