“…The somewhat lower values for II, by virtue of the possibility of a longer side chain may show a less flapping tendency(higher potential barrier to free rotation) than I. These dihedral angles are nevertheless, in the range observed in the previously determined isoflavone structures from 32° to 75° (LAKSHMI, KUMAR, SENTHILSELVAN & SUBRAMANIAN, 1996;SHOJA , 1992 a,b;BRETON, PRECIGOUX, COURSEILLE & HOSPITAL, 1975;KANEDA, IITAKA & SHIBATA, 1973;ACHARYA, PURANIK, TAVALE & ROW, 1986;BÖCSKEL, SIMON, VARGA & HERMECZ, 1996;MAZUREK et al, 1998). Despite the biochemical activity of flavones and isoflavones few are listed in the Cambridge data file.…”
