The invention relates to the use of 1,3-bis-aromatic-prop-2-en-1-ones (chalcones), 1,3-bis-aromatic-propan-1-ones (dihydrochalcones), and 1,3-bis-aromatic-prop-2-yn-1-ones for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment or prophylaxis of a number of serious diseases including i) conditions relating to harmful effects of inflammatory cytokines, ii) conditions involving infection by Helicobacter species, iii) conditions involving infection by viruses, iv) neoplastic disorders, and v) conditions caused by microorganisms or parasites. The invention also relates to novel chalcones and dihydrochalcones (especially alkoxy substituted variants) having advantageous substitution patterns with respect to their effect as drug substances, and to methods of preparing them, as well as to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the novel chalcones. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for the isolation of Leishmania fumarate reductase, QSAR methodologies for selecting potent compounds for the above-mentioned purposes.

A large number of substituted chalcones have been synthesized and tested for antileishmanial and lymphocyte-suppressing activities. A subset of the chalcones was designed by using statistical methods. 3D-QSAR analyses using 67 (antileishmanial activity) and 63 (lymphocyte-suppressing activity) of the compounds for the training sets and 9 compounds as an external validation set were performed by using the GRID/GOLPE methodology. The Smart Region Definition procedure with subsequent region selection as implemented in GOLPE reduced the number of variables to approximately 1300 yielding 3D-QSAR models of high quality (lymphocyte-suppressing model, R2 = 0.90, Q2 = 0.80; antileishmanial model, R2 = 0.73, Q2 = 0.63). The coefficient plots indicate that steric interactions between the chalcones and the target are of major importance for the potencies of the compounds. A comparison of the coefficient plots for the antileishmanial effect and the lymphocyte- suppressing activity discloses significant differences which should make it possible to design chalcones having a high antileishmanial activity without suppressing the proliferation of lymphocytes.

A combinatorial library of 26,500 spiro[pyrrolidine,-2,3-oxindoles] was prepared in a single-compound format by a facile intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. An azomethine ylide, generated by the decarboxylative condensation of an isatin 1 with an α-amino acid 2, was trapped by a transchalcone 3 to afford heterocycles of the general structure 4. The regio- and stereochemistry of a representative product was determined by single crystal X-ray structure.
