Malignant neoplasms are one of the leading causes of death worldwide and hematologic malignancies, including acute leukemia (AL) is one of the most relevant cancer types. Current available chemotherapeutics are associated with high morbidity and mortality

Understanding the mechanisms responsible for the various biological activities of chalcones, particularly the direct cellular targets, presents an unmet challenge. Here, we prepared a series of fluorescent chalcone derivatives as chemical probes for their

A series of pyrazoline derivatives 2a-e, 3a-e and 4a-e structurally related to combretastatin A4 (CA-4) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic means and elemental analyses. In these compounds, the cis double bond of CA-4 was replaced with the pyrazoline ring aiming to enhance the cytotoxic effects displayed by CA-4 and to prevent the cis/trans isomerization that is associated with inactivation of CA-4. The cytotoxic activity of all new compounds was investigated in vitro against MCF-7 and HCT-116 cell lines. The inhibition of tubulin polymerization by the most active compounds 3d, 4a and e was evaluated. The cytotoxicity of 4e was correlated with induction of apoptosis and caspase-3 activation in vitro thus indicating the apoptotic pathway of anticancer effect of these compounds. Furthermore, in vivo evaluation of the synthesized compounds was carried out against Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma (EAC) solid tumor grown in mice. Compounds 2c, 3a and e showed significant reduction in tumor weight, and about 2-4 fold increase in caspase-3 expression.

Major anti-inflammatory agents, steroids and cyclooxygenase, were proved to have serious side effects. Here, a series of chalcone derivatives were synthesized and screened for anti-inflammatory activities. QSAR study revealed that the presence of electron-withdrawing groups in B-ring and electron-donating groups in A-ring of chalcones was important for inhibition of LPS-induced IL-6 expression. Further, compounds 22, 23, 26, 40, and 47 inhibited TNF-α and IL-6 release in a dose-dependent manner and decreased LPS-induced TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, and COX-2 mRNA production. Mechanistically, compounds 23 and 26 interfered with JNK/NF-κB signaling and dose-dependently prevented ERK and p38 activation. In addition, 23 and 26 exhibited a significant protection against LPS-induced death and were able to block high glucose-activated cytokine profiles in macrophages. Together, these data show a series of anti-inflammatory chalcones with potential therapeutic effects in inflammatory diseases.

A series of 3,5-diaryl-4,5-dihydropyrazole regioisomers, and their 1-acetylated derivatives, bearing a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety combined with a variety of substituted phenyl rings, was synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity. Results of the in vitro assay against a non-small cell lung carcinoma cell line (NCI-H460) showed several compounds to be endowed with cytotoxicity in micromolar to sub-micromolar range, depending on substitution pattern and position of aryl rings on 4,5-dihydropyrazole core. Potent and selective activity was also observed in the NCI 60 human cancer cell line panel. 5-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)pyrazolines 31 and 39 were found to possess potent antiproliferative activity against SR and MDA-MB-435, with GI50 inhibitory values in nanomolar range. Structure-activity relationships revealed that introduction of a (hydroxy)acetyl group at N-1 of inactive 5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)pyrazolines, results in a clear in vitro activating effect. Compound 31 (IC50 = 5.16 μM) showed inhibition of tubulin polymerization comparable to that of CA-4 (IC50 = 4.92 μM).
