Four new metal complexes [Cu(ISO)2], [Cu(BUT)2] and [Zn(ISO)2], [Zn(BUT)2] of the polyhydroxychalcones (isoliquiritigenin and butein) are synthesized, structurally characterized and their antioxidant activity is investigated. The formation of the complexes [Cu(ISO)2] and [Zn(ISO)2] is followed by Job’s plot using NMR titration. The resulting compounds are characterized by mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Studies on the radical scavenging activity are performed using DPPH as substrate. The results showed that the antioxidant activities of isoliquiritigenin and butein are enhanced after binding to copper or zinc. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

A new series of chalcone derivatives has been synthesized and tested in vitro in order to assess their ability to inhibit aldose reductase enzyme (ALR2) and their specificity towards the target enzyme with respect to other oxidoreductases, such as aldehyde reductase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, and glutathione reductase. All the compounds display affinity for ALR2. The X-ray crystal structure of 1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)propen-1-one was determined.
