Purpose. Mast cell and neutrophil degranulations are the important players in inflammatory disorders. Combined with potent inhibition of chemical mediators released from mast cells and neutrophil degranulations, it could be a promising anti-inflammatory agent. 2',5'-Dihydroxychalcone has been reported as a potent chemical mediator and cyclooxygenase inhibitor. In an effort to continually develop potent anti-inflammatory agents, a novel series of chalcone, 2'- and 3'-hydroxychalcones, 2',5'-dihydroxychalcones and flavones were continually synthesized to evaluate their inhibitory effects on the activation of mast cells and neutrophils and the inhibitory effect on phlogist-induced hind-paw edema in mice. Methods. A series of chalcones and related compounds were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of appropriate acetophones with appropriate aromatic aldehyde and the anti-inflammatory activities of these synthetic compounds were studied on inhibitory effects on the activation of mast cells and neutrophils. Results. Some chalcones showed strong inhibitory effects on the release of β-glucuronidase and histamine from rat periteonal mast cells stimulated with compound 48/80. Almost all chalcones and 4'-hydroxyflavone exhibited potent inhibitory effects on the release of β-glucuronidase and lysozyme from rat neutrophils stimulated with formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP). Some chalcones showed potent inhibitory effects on superoxide formation of rat neutrophils stimulated with fMLP/cytochalasin B (CB) or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). 2',3-Dihydroxy-, 2'5'-dihydroxy-4-chloro-, and 2'5'-dihydroxychalcone showed remarkable inhibitory effects on hind-paw edema induced by polymyxin B in normal as well as in adrenalectomized mice. Conclusions. These results indicated that the anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds were mediated, at least partly, through the suppression of chemical mediators released from mast cells and neutrophils.
