- Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of aminoalkylated chalcones on three human cancer cells
-
Abstract: Two series of 16 novel aminoalkylated chalcone derivatives 2a–h and 3a–h were synthesized from 2′-hydroxy-3,4,4′,6′-tetramethoxychalcone (1) through extending alkoxy side chain at the 2′-position, and introducting amine hydrogen bond receptor at the end of the side chain. Their in vitro antiproliferative activities were evaluated on a panel of three human cell lines (Hela, HCC1954, and SK-OV-3) by CCK-8 assay. The results showed that all the target compounds, except compound 3e, exhibited moderate to potent antiproliferative activities against these three human cancer cells with the IC50 values of 6.78–64.45 μmol/L, in particular compounds 2g (on Hela cells), 2c (on HCC1954 cells), and 2c, 2d (on SK-OV-3 cells) possess IC50 values below 10 μmol/L. It showed the introduction of aminoalkyl moiety at 2′-O-position of chalcone 1 resulted to produce the desired effect of increasing the antiproliferative activities, and the distance between the amino groups and chalcone moiety plays an important role, the optimal number of methylene units is two-carbon spacer. Graphical abstract: A series of 16 novel aminoalkylated chalcones were synthesized and their antiproliferative acivities on three human cancer cells were evaluated.

- Anti‐melanogenic properties of velutin and its analogs?
-
Velutin, one of the flavones contained in natural plants, has various beneficial activities, such as skin whitening, as well as anti‐inflammatory, anti‐allergic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. However, the relationship between the structure of velutin and its anti‐melanogenesis activity is not yet investigated. In this study, we obtained 12 velutin derivatives substituted at C5, C7, C3′, and C4′ of the flavone backbone with hydrogen, hydroxyl, and methoxy functionalities by chemical synthesis, to perform SAR analysis of velutin structural analogues. The SAR study revealed that the substitution of functional groups at C5, C7, C3′, and C4′ of the flavone backbone affects biological activities related to melanin synthesis. The coexistence of hydroxyl and methoxy at the C5 and C7 position is essential for inhibiting tyrosinase activity. However, 1,2‐diol compounds substituted at C3′ and C4′ of flavone backbone induce apoptosis of melanoma cells. Further, substitution at C3′ and C4′ with methoxy or hydrogen is essential for inhibiting melanogenesis. Thus, this study would be helpful for the development of natural‐derived functional materials to regulate melanin synthesis.

- Attrition-enhanced deracemization and absolute asymmetric synthesis of flavanones from prochiral precursors
-
Seven racemic 5,7-dimethoxyflavanones afforded conglomerate crystals upon recrystallization from a solvent. Three methodologies were investigated to achieve asymmetric transformation based on dynamic crystallization of the chiral conglomerate system. The first was chiral symmetry breaking of racemic flavanones by attrition-enhanced deracemization. Continuous suspension of racemic flavanones in a small amount of propanol in the presence of a base (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)) and glass beads promoted chiral symmetry breaking and converted the flavanones to crystals of (+)- or (-)-enantiomers with 78 to 99% ee. The second method involved cyclization of the intermediate aldol product to give optically active flavanone with 90% ee involving a reversible oxa-Michael addition reaction with attrition-enhanced deracemization. The third was a reaction starting from prochiral 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone and 2-naphthaldehyde under basic conditions, which gave the corresponding flavanone in 89% ee.

- Development of a novel nitric oxide (NO) production inhibitor with potential therapeutic effect on chronic inflammation
-
Inflammation is a complex biological response to stimuli. Activated macrophages induced excessively release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators such as endogenous radical nitric oxide (NO) play a significant role in the progression of multiple inflammatory diseases. Both natural and synthetic chalcones possess a wide range of bioactivities. In this work, thirty-nine chalcones and three related compounds, including several novel ones, based on bioactive kava chalcones were designed, synthesized and their inhibitory effects on NO production in RAW 264.7 cells were evaluated. The novel compound (E)-1-(2′-hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3-methoxy-4-(3-morpholinopropoxy)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (53) exhibited a better inhibitory activity (84.0%) on NO production at 10 μM (IC50 = 6.4 μM) with the lowest cytotoxicity (IC50 > 80 μM) among the tested compounds. Besides, western blot analysis indicated that compound 53 was a potent down-regulator of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein. Docking study revealed that compound 53 also can dock into the active site of iNOS. Furthermore, at the dose of 10 mg/kg/day, compound 53 could both significantly suppress the progression of inflammation on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) models. In addition, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the kava chalcones based analogs was also depicted.

- Targeting the MDM2-p53 protein-protein interaction with prenylchalcones: Synthesis of a small library and evaluation of potential antitumor activity
-
Prenylation of several bioactive scaffolds is a very interesting strategy used in Medicinal Chemistry in order to improve biological/pharmacological effects. A small library of prenylchalcones was synthesized and evaluated for the ability to inhibit the MDM2-p53 interaction using a yeast-based assay. The capacity of all synthesized prenylchalcones and their non-prenylated precursors to inhibit the growth of human colon tumor HCT116 cells was also evaluated. The obtained results led to the identification of a hit compound, prenylchalcone 2e, which behaved as potential inhibitor of the MDM2-p53 interaction in yeast, and showed improved cytotoxicity against human tumor cells expressing wild-type p53, including liver hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2, breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7, and malignant melanoma A375 cells. In colon cancer cells, it was also shown that the growth inhibitory effect of prenylchalcone 2e was associated with the induction of cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and increased protein expression levels of p53 transcriptional targets. Moreover, computational docking studies were performed in order to predict docking poses and residues involved in the MDM2-p53 potential interaction.

- Design, synthesis and docking studies of flavokawain B type chalcones and their cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines
-
Flavokawain B (1) is a natural chalcone extracted from the roots of Piper methysticum, and has been proven to be a potential cytotoxic compound. Using the partial structure of flavokawain B (FKB), about 23 analogs have been synthesized. Among them, compounds 8, 13 and 23 were found in new FKB derivatives. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic properties against two breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, thus establishing the structure-activity relationship. The FKB derivatives 16 (IC50 = 6.50 ± 0.40 and 4.12 ± 0.20 μg/mL), 15 (IC50 = 5.50 ± 0.35 and 6.50 ± 1.40 μg/mL) and 13 (IC50 = 7.12 ± 0.80 and 4.04 ± 0.30 μg/mL) exhibited potential cytotoxic effects on the MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. However, the methoxy group substituted in position three and four in compound 2 (IC50 = 8.90 ± 0.60 and 6.80 ± 0.35 μg/mL) and 22 (IC50 = 8.80 ± 0.35 and 14.16 ± 1.10 μg/mL) exhibited good cytotoxicity. The lead compound FKB (1) showed potential cytotoxicity (IC50 = 7.70 ± 0.30 and 5.90 ± 0.30 μg/mL) against two proposed breast cancer cell lines. It is evident that the FKB skeleton is unique for anticancer agents, additionally, the presence of halogens (Cl and F) in position 2 and 3 also improved the cytotoxicity in FKB series. These findings could help to improve the future drug discovery process to treat breast cancer. A molecular dynamics study of active compounds revealed stable interactions within the active site of Janus kinase. The structures of all compounds were determined by 1H-NMR, EI-MS, IR and UV and X-ray crystallographic spectroscopy techniques.

- Modified syntheses of the dietary flavonoid luteolin
-
Two novel syntheses of the flavone luteolin are described. In the first, 3,5-dimethoxyphenol was converted to 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone and then by condensation with 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde to 2'-hydroxy-3,4,4',6'-tetramethoxychalcone. In the second, the chalcone step was prepared in which 3,5-dimethoxyphenol was acylated with 3,4-dimethoxycinnamoyl chloride. The chalcone was then cyclised with iodine and demethylated with pyridine hydrochloride to form luteolin in 47% and 40% overall yield, respectively. Several disadvantages of previous syntheses like long reaction time, harsh reaction conditions and low overall yield have been overcome.

- Synthesis of chlorinated flavonoids with anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic activities in human neutrophils
-
Neutrophils are considered the central cells of acute inflammation. Flavonoids have been suggested as therapeutic agents to avoid damages induced by inflammatory processes. It is well known the reactivity of flavonoids with hypochlorous acid produced by neutrophils, to form stable mono and dichlorinated products. In this study, we synthesized novel chlorinated flavonoids and investigated their effect in neutrophils' oxidative burst and in its lifespan, in comparison with the parent non-chlorinated flavonoids. The obtained results demonstrate that chlorinated flavonoids were more efficient than their parent compounds in modulating neutrophils' oxidative burst in phorbol myristate acetate-activated neutrophils. Some of the tested flavonoids drive neutrophil apoptosis in a caspase 3-dependent fashion. The present data showed that 8-chloro-3′,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone (4a) constitute an alternative anti-inflammatory therapy, due to the proven ability to suppress mechanisms engaged at the onset and progression of inflammation.

- Synthesis of flavokawain analogues and their anti-neoplastic effects on drug-resistant cancer cells through Hsp90 inhibition
-
Hsp90 is an ubiquitous molecular chaperone protein, which plays an important role in regulating maturation and stabilization of many oncogenic proteins. Due to its potential to simultaneously disable multiple signaling pathways, Hsp90 represents great promise as a therapeutic target of cancer. In this study, we synthesized flavokawain analogues and evaluated their biological activities against drug-resistant cancer cells. The study indicated that compound 1i impaired the growth of gefitinib-resistant non-small cell lung cancer (H1975), down-regulated the expression of Hsp90 client proteins including EGFR, Her2, Met, Akt and Cdk4, and upregulated the expression of Hsp70. The result strongly suggested that compound 1i inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells through Hsp90 inhibition. Overall, compound 1i could serve as a potential lead compound to overcome the drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy.

- Investigation of chalcones and benzochalcones as inhibitors of breast cancer resistance protein
-
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) belongs to the ATP binding cassette family of transport proteins. BCRP has been found to confer multidrug resistance in cancer cells. A strategy to overcome resistance due to BCRP overexpression is the investigation of potent and specific BCRP inhibitors. The aim of the current study was to investigate different multi-substituted chalcones for their BCRP inhibition. We synthesized chalcones and benzochalcones with different substituents (viz. OH, OCH3, Cl) on ring A and B of the chalcone structure. All synthesized compounds were tested by Hoechst 33342 accumulation assay to determine inhibitory activity in MCF-7 MX and MDCK cells expressing BCRP. The compounds were also screened for their P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) inhibitory activity in the calcein AM accumulation assay and were found to be selective towards inhibition of BCRP. Substituents at position 2′ and 4′ on chalcone ring A were found to be essential for activity; additionally there was a great influence of substituents on ring B. Presence of 3,4-dimethoxy substitution on ring B was found to be optimal, while presence of 2- and 4-chloro substitution also showed a positive effect on BCRP inhibition.

- Structure - Activity relationship studies of chalcone leading to 3-hydroxy-4,3′,4′,5′-tetramethoxychalcone and its analogues as potent nuclear factor κB inhibitors and their anticancer activities
-
Chalcone is a privileged structure, demonstrating promising anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. One potential mechanism is to suppress nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation. The structures of chalcone-based NF-κB inhibitors vary significantly that there is minimum information about their structure-activity relationships (SAR). This study aims to establish SAR of chalcone-based compounds to NF-κB inhibition, to explore the feasibility of developing simple chalcone-based potent NF-κB inhibitors, and to evaluate their anticancer activities. Three series of chalcones were synthesized in one to three steps with the key step being aldol condensation. These candidates demonstrated a wide range of NF-κB inhibitory activities, some of low micromolar potency, establishing that structural complexity is not required for NF-κB inhibition. Lead compounds also demonstrate potent cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells. Their cytotoxicities correlate moderately well with their NF-κB inhibitory activities, suggesting that suppressing NF-κB activation is likely responsible for at least some of the cytotoxicities. One lead compound effectively inhibits lung tumor growth with no signs of adverse side effects.

A series of synthetic chalcones, flavanones, and flavones has been synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against the human kidney carcinoma cells TK-10, human mammary adenocarcinoma cells MCF-7 (estrogen receptor-positive), and human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT-29. The most active series is the chalcone ones with the best results against TK-10 and HT-29 cells. Fourteen out of 53 analyzed compounds resulted very active against at least two of the studied tumoral cells. Alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis, comet assay, was performed as a study of the chromosomal aberrations promoted by the compounds on normal cells. Four active and two inactive chalcones were studied in the comet assay against normal human kidney cells (HK-2). A structure-activity relationship analysis of these compounds was performed and for 4- and 3,4-disubstituted derivatives a quantitative correlation was obtained in the case of anti-HT-29 activity.
