Isoliquiritigenin (1) possesses a variety of biological activities in vitro. However, its poor aqueous solubility limits its use for subsequent in vivo experimentation. In order to enable the use of 1 for in vivo studies without the use of toxic carriers

Two series of compounds (chalcones and bis-chalcones) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) with 1-deoxynojirimycin as positive control in vitro. Most of the compounds with two or four hydroxyl groups showed better inhibitory activities than 1-deoxynojirimycin towards α-glucosidase with noncompetitive mechanism. Moreover, most of the hydroxy bis-chalcones exhibit good α-glucosidase inhibitory activities in enzyme test. Inspiringly, bis-chalcones 2g (at 1 μM concentration) has stronger effect than 1-deoxynojirimycin on reducing the glucose level in HepG-2 cells (human liver cancer cell line).

Isoliquiritigenin (ISL, 1) and liquiritigenin (LTG, 2) were isolated from the rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza glabra. In an attempt to develop potent and selective antituberculosis agents, a series of ISL analogues were synthesized mainly via acid- and base-catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction for their antitubercular activity. Compared to ISL (MIC = 25 μg/mL), analogues 5, 8, and 10 showed similar antitubercular activity, but, interestingly, 6, 7, and 15 exhibited twofold higher activity (MIC = 12.5 μg/mL) over ISL, against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Among the LTG derivatives, LTG 4′-acetate and LTG-oxime were found to be as active (MIC = 25 μg/mL) as LTG. It is the first report on antimycobacterial activity of these ISL- and LTG-based derivatives. Molecular docking and in silico ADME studies revealed that compounds 6, 7, and 15 are potent inhibitors of M. tuberculosis H37Rv alanine dehydrogenase and showed compliance with standard parameters of drug likeness.
