- Studies of NMR Chemical Shifts of Chalcone Derivatives of Five-membered Monoheterocycles and Determination of Aromaticity Indices
-
A series of the chalcone derivatives of the five-membered monoheterocyclic compounds, (E)-1-aryl-3-heteroarylpropen-1-ones, were prepared by aldol condensation of the corresponding aldehydes of thiophene, pyrrole, and furan with m- and p-substituted acetophenones. Similar condensation of the acetyl compounds of the heterocycles with m- and p-substituted benzaldehydes gave another series of the chalcone derivatives, (E)-1-heteroaryl-3-arylpropen-1-ones. The 13C chemical shift values (δC) of the chalcone derivatives were determined in order to find if they correlated with the Hammett σ values. A good correlation, especially for the β-C for both series, was found for the 13C chemical shift values (δC) of the chalcone derivatives with the Hammett σ values. The chemical shift values of the β-C of the heterocyclic compounds were plotted against those of the benzene derivatives. The resulting slopes were found to be close to the values of the aromaticity indices.

- Inhibition of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 production by pyrrolylated-chalcones: Synthesis, biological activity, crystal structure analysis, and molecular docking studies
-
In search of potent anti-inflammatory agents, twenty-four chalcone derivatives including seven new compounds (13 – 17, 21 and 23) containing pyrrole moiety were designed, synthesized, and assessed for their nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) suppression ability on IFN-γ/LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Results showed that none of the synthesized compounds were PAINS-associated molecules, with 3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-prop-2-en-1-one (compound 16) exhibiting remarkable inhibition activity towards PGE2 and NO production with IC50 values of 0.5 ± 1.5 μM and 12.1 ± 1.5 μM, respectively. Physicochemical and ADMET studies showed that majority of the compounds obey to Lipinski's rule of five (RO5) having high blood brain barrier (BBB) penetration, human intestinal absorption (HIA), P- glycoprotein (PgP) inhibition and plasma binding protein (PPB) inhibition. The obtained atomic coordinates for the single-crystal XRD of 16 were then applied in a molecular docking simulation, and compound 16 was found to participate in a number of important binding interactions in the binding sites of ERK and mPGES-1. Based on these results, we have observed the potential of compound 16 as a new hit anti-inflammatory agent, and these findings could serve as a basis for further studies on its mechanism of action.
