- Alkene Synthesis by Photo-Wolff-Kischner Reaction of Sulfur Ylides and N-Tosylhydrazones
-
A visible-light-driven and room temperature photo-Wolff-Kischner reaction of sulfur ylides and N-tosylhydrazones has been developed for the first time to provide modular access to alkene synthesis. The high functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope were demonstrated by more than 60 examples. Both E- and Z-olefinic stereochemistry in the products could be controlled with excellent stereoselectivity. A series of mechanistic studies support that the reaction should proceed through a radical-carbanion crossover pathway, specifically involving addition of photo-generated sulfur ylide radical cations to N-tosylhydrazones to form carbanions and subsequent Wolff-Kischner process.

- Synthesis, characterization, molecular docking and in vitro anticancer activity of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-substituted phenyl-2-pyrazoline-1-carbothioamide
-
In the present study, eight numbers of new 3-(4-methoxy phenyl)-5-substituted phenyl-2-pyrazoline-1-carbothioamide (5a-h) have been synthesized from 1-(4-methoxy phenyl)-3-(substituted phenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (3a-h) and structurally characterized by using FT-IR,1H NMR,13C NMR, Mass and Elemental analysis. The synthesized molecules were biologically eval-uated for their in vitro anticancer activity against human breast adenocar-cinoma (MCF-7), liver cancer (Hep-G2) and leukaemia cancer (K-562) cell line using Sulforhodamine B (SRB) bioassay technique. From the all synthesized compounds 5a, 5c, 5d, and 5e exhibited potent anticancer activity (GI50= 50=44.5μg/ml) and Adriamycin (ADR) (GI50= 10μg/ml) on MCF-7 cell lines. Besides this, all the synthesized compounds have exhibited moderate activity against human liver cancer (Hep-G2) and leukaemia cancer (K-562) cell lines. In addition, molecular docking studies were also explored in order to study the probable binding specificity into the active site of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR) (PDB ID: 1M17) using Molegro Virtual Docker Evaluation 2013 6.0.1 (MVD). Based on the molecular docking result, it was found that compound 5a exhibited the best interaction with the above target (i.e., EGFR) by interacting with specific amino acid residues such as: Thr 766, Gin 767, Thr 830, Cys 575, Ala 719 and Met 769.

- Vanadium-Catalyzed Oxidative Intramolecular Coupling of Tethered Phenols: Formation of Phenol-Dienone Products
-
A mild and efficient method for the vanadium-catalyzed intramolecular coupling of tethered free phenols is described. The corresponding phenol-dienone products are prepared directly in good yields with low catalyst loadings. Electronically diverse tethered phenol precursors are well tolerated, and the catalytic method was effectively applied as the key step in syntheses of three natural products and a synthetically useful morphinan alkaloid precursor.

- Hansch’s analysis application to chalcone synthesis by Claisen–Schmidt reaction based in DFT methodology
-
Chalcones are bioactive compounds obtained from either natural sources or synthetic procedures and widely used due to their several biological properties. The most common experimental methodology in obtaining these compounds is Claisen–Schmidt reaction, which is a particular type of aldolic condensation. In this work, we have synthesized 23 chalcones and by density functional theory (DFT) calculation, we have studied the difference in reactivity of the several benzaldehydes and their effects on the yield of this reaction. From molecular orbital descriptors were obtained two quantitative structure–reactivity relationship (QSRR) models based on Hansch’s analysis. The results of this study showed that, for the most benzaldehydes (15 of 23 compounds), their reactivity was correlated with LUMO energy and global Electrophilicity Index (ω) values, which are determined in the first step of Claisen–Schmidt condensation mechanism (nucleophilic addition). Likewise, for the smallest group of benzaldehydes, their reactivity was related to their HOMO and ΔL???H (LUMO???HOMO) energies, which were determined in the second step of the mechanism (trans-elimination). This is the first report of a QSRR model analyzing the yield of chalcone synthesis based on DFT methodology.

- Biological evaluation and synthesis of new pyrimidine-2(1H)-ol/-thiol derivatives derived from chalcones using the solid phase microwave method
-
Twenty-five new hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ol (20–34) and 4,6-diarylpyri-midine-2(1H)-thiol derivatives (35–44) were synthesized from the reaction of the corresponding 1,3-diaryl-2-propene-1-one compounds (1–19) with urea or thiourea using the solid-phase microwave method. All the new synthetic compounds (20–44) were evaluated with regard to their α-glucosidase activity. However, only compounds 22–25, 27, 31, 34, 35, 37, and 40 exhibited a greater inhibitory effect than standard acarbose. The IC50 values of the active compounds ranged between 2.36 and 13.34 μM. The 25 new compounds were also screened for their in vitro pancreatic lipase activity and compounds 20–27 and 35–39 were found to be active. Of these compounds 26, 27, and 39 exhibited the best antilipase activities at concentrations of 0.40 ± 0.06, 0.26 ± 0.07, and 0.29 ± 0.026 μM. All the new compounds (20–44) were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity for nine test microorganisms. Compounds 20–24 and 35–39 were determined to possess a significant broad spectrum against the gram-positive bacteria Escherichia faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus among the tested bacterial agents. Compounds 20–24 and 35–39 exhibit the best activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 62.5–500 μg/mL, indicating their potential use as antituberculous agents.

- Synthesis of a series of unsaturated ketone derivatives as selective and reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors
-
We have synthesized three categories of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives and evaluated their MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitory activities. Among them, compound 10b including α,β-unsaturated ketone group showed the most potent and selective MAO-B inhibitory activity (IC50 human MAO-B 16 nM, >6000-fold selective vs MAO-A) and compound 10b exhibited good reversibility compared with selegiline, a well-known irreversible MAO-B inhibitor. However, both α,β-unsaturated amide and ester derivatives exhibited weaker MAO-B inhibition potencies. The docking studies provided insights into the possible binding modes and the key interaction sites of the synthesized MAO-B inhibitors.

- Silver-catalyzed double-decarboxylative cross-coupling of α-keto acids with cinnamic acids in water: A strategy for the preparation of chalcones
-
A silver-catalyzed double-decarboxylative protocol has been proposed for the construction of chalcone derivatives via cascade coupling of substituted α-keto acids with cinnamic acids under the mild aqueous conditions. The developed method for constructing C-C bonds via double-decarboxylative reactions is efficient, practical, and environmentally benign by using the readily available starting materials. It should provide a promising synthesis candidate for the formation of diverse and useful chalcone derivatives in the fields of synthetic and pharmaceutical chemistry.

- 4-Fluoro-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxychalcone as a new anti-invasive agent. From discovery to initial validation in an in vivo metastasis model
-
Invasion and metastasis are responsible for 90% of cancer-related mortality. Herein, we report on our quest for novel, clinically relevant inhibitors of local invasion, based on a broad screen of natural products in a phenotypic assay. Starting from micromolar chalcone hits, a predictive QSAR model for diaryl propenones was developed, and synthetic analogues with a 100-fold increase in potency were obtained. Two nanomolar hits underwent efficacy validation and eADMET profiling; one compound was shown to increase the survival time in an artificial metastasis model in nude mice. Although the molecular mechanism(s) by which these substances mediate efficacy remain(s) unrevealed, we were able to eliminate the major targets commonly associated with antineoplastic chalcones.

- Synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of alkoxylated chalcones
-
A series of chalcones a1-20 bearing a 4-OMe groups on the A-ring were initially synthesized and their anticancer activities towards HepG2 cells evaluated. Subsequently, a series of chalcones b1-42 bearing methoxy groups at the 2′ and 6′-positions of the B-ring were synthesized and their anticancer activities towards five human cancer cell lines (HepG2, HeLa, MCF-7, A549 and SW1990) and two non-tumoral human cell lines evaluated. The results showed that six compounds (b6, b8, b11, b16, b18, b22, b23 and b29) displayed promising activities, with compounds b22 and b29 in particular showing higher levels of activity than etoposide against all five cancer cell lines. Compound b29 showed a promising SI value compared with both HMLE and L02 (2.1-6.5 fold in HMLE and > 33 > 103.1 fold in L02, respectively).

- Effects of structural and electronic characteristics of chalcones on the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma
-
Chalcones share some structural similarities with GW-1929, a highly-selective and potent agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ). In this study, we tested 53 structurally diverse chalcones to identify characteristics essential for PPARγ activation in a GAL4-based transactivation assay. This screen identified several novel chalcone agonists of PPARγ. Our results indicate that chalcones with an electron rich group or sterically large groups such as naphthyl on the carbonyl side tend to activate PPARγ. The absence of any strict structural or electronic requirements suggests that the flexibility of the PPARγ ligand binding pocket may allow binding of diverse chalcones with some preference for a slightly larger electron-rich group on the carbonyl side. We predict that further structure-activity relationship studies on chalcones with naphthalene or electron-rich groups near the carbonyl moiety will lead to the development of more potent PPARγ agonists.

- Retrochalcone derivatives are positive allosteric modulators at synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in vitro
-
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Flavonoids, important plant pigments, have been shown to allosterically modulate brain GABAA receptors (GABA ARs). We previously reported that trans-6,4′- dimethoxyretrochalcone (Rc-OMe), a hydrolytic derivative of the corresponding flavylium salt, displayed nanomolar affinity for the benzodiazepine binding site of GABAARs. Here, we evaluate the functional modulations of Rc-OMe, along with two other synthetic derivatives trans-6-bromo-4′- methoxyretrochalcone (Rc-Br) and 4,3′-dimethoxychalcone (Ch-OMe) on GABAARs. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were made to determine the effects of these derivatives on GABAARs expressed in HEK-293 cells and in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal and thalamic neurones from rat brain. KEY RESULTS Rc-OMe strongly potentiated GABA-evoked currents at recombinant α 1-4β2γ2s and α 4β3I receptors but much less at α1β2 and α4β3. Rc-Br and Ch-OMe potentiated GABA-evoked currents at α1β 2γ2s. The potentiation by Rc-OMe was only reduced at α1H101Rβ2γ2s and α1β2N265Sγ2s, mutations known to abolish the potentiation by diazepam and loreclezole respectively. The modulation of Rc-OMe and pentobarbital as well as by Rc-OMe and the neurosteroid 3α,21-dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one was supra-additive. Rc-OMe modulation exhibited no apparent voltage-dependence, but was markedly dependent on GABA concentration. In neurones, Rc-Br slowed the decay of spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents and both Rc-OMe and Rc-Br positively modulated synaptic and extrasynaptic diazepam-insensitive GABAARs. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The trans-retrochalcones are powerful positive allosteric modulators of synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAARs. These novel modulators act through an original mode, thus making them putative drug candidates in the treatment of GABAA-related disorders in vivo.

- Structure-activity relationships in a series of orally active γ- hydroxy butenolide endothelin antagonists
-
The design of potent and selective non-peptide antagonists of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and its related isopeptides are important tools defining the role of ET in human diseases. In this report we will describe the detailed structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies that led to the discovery of a potent series of butenolide ET(A) selective antagonists. Starting from a micromolar screening hit, PD012527, use of Topliss decision tree analysis led to the discovery of the nanomolar ET(A) selective antagonist PD155080. Further structural modifications around the butenolide ring led directly to the subnanomolar ET(A) selective antagonist PD156707, IC50's = 0.3 (ET(A)) and 780 nM (ET(B)). This series of compounds exhibited functional activity exemplified by PD156707. This derivative inhibited the ET(A) receptor mediated release of arachidonic acid from rabbit renal artery vascular smooth muscle cells with an IC50 = 1.1 nM and also inhibited the ET-1 induced contraction of rabbit femoral artery rings (ET(A) mediated) with a pA2 = 7.6. PD156707 also displayed in vivo functional activity inhibiting the hemodynamic responses due to exogenous administration of ET-1 in rats in a dose dependent fashion. Evidence for the pH dependence of the open and closed tautomerization forms of PD156707 was demonstrated by an NMR study. X- ray crystallographic analysis of the closed butenolide form of PD156707 shows the benzylic group located on the same side of the butenolide ring as the γ- hydroxyl and the remaining two phenyl groups on the butenolide ring essentially orthogonal to the butenolide ring. Pharmacokinetic parameters for PD156707 in dogs are also presented.

The bis-magnesium salts of the triols (6a) and (6h) cyclise when heated in benzene with high ortho-regiospecificity to the corresponding bis-phenols (7) and (8).The triols (6k) and (6o) under the same conditions cyclise with high para-regiospecificity to the corresponding bis-phenols (7) and (8).Both (6a) and (6h) cyclise via o-quinone methides, and (6k) and (6o) via p-quinone methides.Results from the use of, inter alia, 18-crown-6, indicate that the high ortho-regiospecificity of the cyclisation of (6a) and (6h) is due to intramolecular Mg(II) bridging of the intermediate o-quinone methides.The high para-regiospecificity of cyclisation of (6k) and (6o) is due to steric hindrance towards o-cyclisation of the intermediate p-quinone methides presented by the Mg(II) cation.The unexpected facility with which (6a) and (6k) undergo ring closure is discussed.
