Synthesis and evaluation of antiplasmodial activity of 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxychalcones and 2-fluoroethoxy chalcones against plasmodium falciparum in culture

A new class of compounds comprising two series of chalcones with 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy group and 2-fluoroethoxy groups were synthesized and screened for in vitro antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum (3D7) using the [3H] hypoxanthine incorporation inhibition assay. Chalcones with 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy groups substituted on the p- and m-positions of the 1-phenyl ring showed weak antiplasmodial activity, while compounds substituted on the o-position of the 1-phenyl ring displayed enhanced antiplasmodial activity, thus indicating that 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy groups on the 1-phenyl ring of chalcones show position-dependent antiplasmodial activity. Of the 34 compounds synthesized, chalcones 3a and 3f exhibited significant inhibitory effects, with IC50 values of 3.0 μg/mL and 2.2 μg/mL, respectively. Moreover, these compounds 3a and 3f showed profound antiplasmodial activity in combination with artemisinin in vitro. The most active molecules, 3a, and 3f, were further assessed for their cytotoxicity towards mammalian Vero cells and the selectivity index (SI) values are 8.6, and 8.2 respectively, being considered non-toxic. We also studied the antiplasmodial activity of 2-fluoroethoxychalcones to discern the effect of the number of fluorine atoms in the fluoroethoxy group. Our results showed that chalcones with 2-fluoroethoxy group on the 1-phenyl ring exhibited more enhanced inhibitory effects on the growth of parasites than their trifluoro analogues, which reveals that monofluoroethoxy group is generally more effective than trifluoroethoxy group in the inhibition of parasite growth. Thus o-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxychalcones (Series 3) and 2-fluoroethoxychalcones may serve as good antiplasmodial candidates for future further development.

BrettPhos ligand supported palladium-catalyzed C-O bond formation through an electronic pathway of reductive elimination: Fluoroalkoxylation of activated aryl halides

We report an unprecedented BrettPhos ligand supported Pd-catalyzed C-O bond-forming reaction of activated aryl halides with primary fluoroalkyl alcohols. We demonstrate that the Phosphine ligand (BrettPhos) possesses the property of altering the mechanistic pathway of reductive elimination from nucleophile to nucleophile. The Pd/BrettPhos catalyst system facilitates the reductive elimination of the oxygen nucleophile through an electronic pathway.

COMPOSITION FOR DIAGNOSING AMYLOID-RELATED DISEASE

There is provided a composition comprising a compound represented by general formula (I), wherein R1 represents a 5-iodothiophen-2-yl group or the like, and R2 represents a 4-dimethylaminophenyl group or the like. This composition is useful for diagnosis of an amyloid-related disease such as Alzheimer's disease because the compound has high binding specificity to amyloid β protein, high permeability through the blood-brain barrier, and a property of being rapidly eliminated from sites other than senile plaques in the brain.

Fluoro-pegylated chalcones as positron emission tomography probes for in vivo imaging of β-amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease

This paper describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of fluoro-pegylated (FPEG) chalcones for the imaging of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). FPEG chalcone derivatives were prepared by the aldol condensation reacti
