The marine environment is a rich resource for discovering functional materials, and seaweed is recognized for its potential use in biology and medicine. Liquiritigenin has been isolated and identified from Sargassum pallidum. To find new anti-Alzheimer's activity, we designed and synthesized thirty-two 7-prenyloxy-2,3-dihydroflavanone derivatives (3a-3p) and 5-hydroxy-7-prenyloxy-2,3-dihydro-flavanone derivatives (4a-4p) as cholinesterases inhibitors based on liquiritigenin as the lead compound. Inhibition screening against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) indicated that all synthesized compounds possessed potent AChE inhibitory activity and moderated to weak BuChE inhibitory activity in vitro. Kinetic studies demonstrated that compound 4o inhibited AChE via a dual binding site ability. In addition, all compounds displayed the radical scavenging effects. Finally, the molecular docking simulation of 4o in AChE active site displayed good agreement with the obtained the pharmacological results.

In the present study, the species: Beauveria bassiana, Absidia coerulea and Absidia glauca were used in biotransformation of flavones (chrysin, apigenin, luteolin, diosmetin) and flavanones (pinocembrin, naringenin, eriodictyol, hesperetin). The Beauveria bassiana AM 278 strain catalyzed the methylglucose attachment reactions to the flavonoid molecule at positions C7 and C3′. The application of the Absidia genus (A. coerulea AM 93, A. glauca AM 177) as the biocatalyst resulted in the formation of glucosides with a sugar molecule present at C7 and C3′ positions of flavonoids skeleton. Nine of obtained products have not been previously reported in the literature.

Two new flavonoids, rac-6-formyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavanone (1) and 2′,6′-dihydroxy-4′-methoxy-3′-methylchalcone (2), together with five known derivatives, rac-8-formyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavanone (3), 4′,6′-dihydroxy-2′-methoxy-3′-methyldihydrochalcone (4), rac-7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6-methylflavanone (5), 3′-formyl-2′,4′,6′-trihydroxy-5′-methyldihydrochalcone (6), and 3′-formyl-2′,4′,6′-trihydroxydihydrochalcone (7), were isolated from the leaves of Eugenia rigida. The individual (S)- and (R)-enantiomers of 1 and 3, together with the corresponding formylated flavones 8 (6-formyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavone) and 9 (8-formyl-5,7-dihydroxyflavone), as well as 2′,4′,6′-trihydroxychalcone (10), 3′-formyl-2′,4′,6′-trihydroxychalcone (11), and the corresponding 3′-formyl-2′,4′,6′-trihydroxydihydrochalcone (7) and 2′,4′,6′-trihydroxydihydrochalcone (12), were synthesized. The structures of the isolated and synthetic compounds were established via NMR, HRESIMS, and electronic circular dichroism data. In addition, the structures of 3, 5, and 8 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction crystallography. The isolated and synthetic flavonoids were evaluated for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities against a panel of microorganisms and solid tumor cell lines.
