The synthetic flavanone 6-methoxy-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)chroman-4-one induces apoptosis and activation of the MAPK pathway in human U-937 leukaemia cells

Synthetic flavonoids containing a naphthalene ring have attracted attention as potential cytotoxic compounds. Here, we synthesized ten chalcones and their corresponding flavanones and evaluated their antiproliferative activity against the human tumour cel

Luminescence, circular dichroism and in silico studies of binding interaction of synthesized naphthylchalcone derivatives with bovine serum albumin

Chalcones possess various biological properties, for example, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimalarial, anticancer, antiprotozoal and antitubercular activity. In this study, naphthylchalcone derivatives were synthesized and characterized

Thallium(III) p-tosylate-mediated oxidative [1,2] rearrangement of 2-naphthyl and 2-heteroarylchromanones

A practical and effective approach towards the synthesis of 3-heteroaryl-4H-chromen-4-ones by the oxidative [1,2] rearrangement of the respective 2-heteroaryl chroman-4-ones using thallium(III) p-tosylate is presented. The oxidative rearrangement of α- an

Convenient synthesis of flavanone derivatives via oxa-Michael addition using catalytic amount of aqueous cesium fluoride

A total of 36 flavanones, which included polycyclic aromatic and heterocyclic rings, were readily synthesized via oxa-Michael addition from the corresponding hydroxychalcones with a catalytic amount of aqueous cesium fluoride solution under mild conditions. This method could be applied to the scalable synthesis of eriodictyol as a known potent inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

A novel one-pot synthesis of flavones

In this paper, a one-pot facile route for the BiCl3/RuCl3-mediated synthesis of functionalized flavones is described, including: (i) intermolecularortho-acylation of substituted phenols with cinnamoyl chlorides, and (ii) intramolecular cyclodehydrogenation of the resultingo-hydroxychalcones. The reaction conditions are discussed herein.

Exploring 3-hydroxyflavone scaffolds as mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors: synthesis, X-ray crystallography, antimicrobial, fluorescence behaviour, structure-activity relationship and molecular modelling studies

To explore new scaffolds as tyrosinase enzyme inhibitors remain an interesting goal in the drug discovery and development. In due course and our approach to synthesize bioactive compounds, a series of varyingly substituted 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives (1-23) were synthesized in one-pot reaction and screened for in?vitro against mushroom tyrosinase enzyme. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were unambiguously corroborated by usual spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, UV-Vis, 1H-, 13C-NMR) and mass spectrometry (EI-MS). The structure of compound 15 was also characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, the synthesized compounds (1-23) were evaluated for their antimicrobial potential. Biological studies exhibit pretty good activity against most of the bacterial-fungal strains and their activity is comparable to those of commercially available antibiotics i.e. Cefixime and Clotrimazole. Amongst the series, the compounds 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 and 22 exhibited excellent inhibitory activity against tyrosinase, even better than standard compound. Remarkably, the compound 2 (IC50 = 0.280 ± 0.010 μg/ml) was found almost sixfold and derivative 5 (IC50 = 0.230 ± 0.020 μg/ml) about sevenfold more active as compared to standard Kojic acid (IC50 =1.79 ± 0.6 μg/ml). Moreover, these synthetic compounds (1-23) displayed good to moderate activities against tested bacterial and fungal strains. Their emission behavior was also investigated in order to know their potential as fluorescent probes. The molecular modelling simulations were also performed to explore their binding interactions with active sites of the tyrosinase enzyme. Limited structure-activity relationship was established to design and develop new tyrosinase inhibitors by employing 2-arylchromone as a structural core in the future. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of 6-naphthylpterocarpans

The Heck-oxyarylation of racemic 2-(1-naphthyl)-and 2-(2-naphthyl)-2H-chromene derivatives were carried out resulting diastereoselectively in (6S?,6aR?,11aR?)-6-(1-naphthyl)-and 6-(2-naphthyl)-pterocarpans as major products and bridged (6R?,12R?)-6,12-methanodibenzo[d,g][1,3]dioxocine derivatives as minor products. Antiproliferative activity of two 6-naphthylpterocarpans was identified by MTT assay against A2780 and WM35 human cancer cell lines with low micromolar IC50 values. The measured 0.80 and 3.51 μM IC50 values of the (6S?,6aR?,11aR?)-6-(1-naphthyl)pterocarpan derivative with 8,9-methylenedioxy substitution represent the best activities in the pterocarpan family. Enantiomers of the pterocarpan and dioxocine derivatives and their chiral 2-naphthylchroman-4-one and 2-naphthyl-2H-chromene precursors were separated by HPLC using chiral stationary phase. HPLC-ECD spectra were recorded and absolute configuration and low-energy solution conformations were determined by TDDFT-ECD calculations. Characteristic ECD transitions of the separated enantiomers were correlated with their absolute configuration.

Design, synthesis, in silico studies, and evaluation of novel chalcones and their pyrazoline derivatives for antibacterial and antitubercular activities

Chiral Hydroxytetraphenylene-Boron Complex Catalyzed Asymmetric Diels-Alder Cycloaddition of 2′-Hydroxychalcones

(S)-2,15-Cl2-DHTP-boron complex catalyst for the asymmetric Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 2′-hydroxychalcones and dienes was developed and tested. The resulting cyclohexenes with three chiral centers were obtained in high yields (up to 98%) with excellent stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 endo/exo, >99% ee). This catalytic system features high efficiency, broad substrate scopes, and mild reaction conditions. In addition, a DFT study was performed to explain the stereochemical course of the asymmetric induction.

Synthesis and hplc-ecd study of cytostatic condensed o,n-heterocycles obtained from 3-aminoflavanones

Racemic chiral O,N-heterocycles containing 2-arylchroman or 2-aryl-2H-chromene subunit condensed with morpholine, thiazole, or pyrrole moieties at the C-3-C-4 bond were synthesized with various substitution patterns of the aryl group by the cyclization of cis- or trans-3- aminoflavanone analogues. The 3-aminoflavanone precursors were obtained in a Neber rearrangement of oxime tosylates of flavanones, which provided the trans diastereomer as the major product and enabled the isolation of both the cis- and trans-diastereomers. The cis- and transaminoflavanones were utilized to prepare three diastereomers of 5-aryl-chromeno[4,3- b][1,4]oxazines. Antiproliferative activity of the condensed heterocycles and precursors was evaluated against A2780 and WM35 cancer cell lines. For a 3-(N-chloroacetylamino)-flavan-4-ol derivative, showing structural analogy with acyclic acid ceramidase inhibitors, 0.15 μM, 3.50 μM, and 6.06 μM IC50 values were measured against A2780, WM35, and HaCat cell lines, and apoptotic mechanism was confirmed. Low micromolar IC50 values down to 2.14 μM were identified for the thiazole- and pyrrole-condensed 2H-chromene derivatives. Enantiomers of the condensed heterocycles were separated by HPLC using chiral stationary phase, HPLC-ECD spectra were recorded and TDDFT-ECD calculations were performed to determine the absolute configuration and solution conformation. Characteristic ECD transitions of the separated enantiomers were correlated with the absolute configuration and effect of substitution pattern on the HPLC elution order was determined.
