All currently used first-line and second-line drugs for the treatment of leishmaniasis exhibit several drawbacks including toxicity, high costs and route of administration. Furthermore, some drugs are associated with the emergence of drug resistance. Thus

Several series of 45 acetophenone derivatives bearing various alkyl or benzyl substituents were conveniently synthesized and their structures characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, HRMS and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Their in vitro antifungal activities against a panel of phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated by mycelial growth rate assay. Of them, 12 derivatives (e.g., 3a-c, 4c and 4e) exhibited more potent antifungal effects on some phytopathogens than a commercial fungicide hymexazol as positive control. In particular, compound 3b with IC50 values of 10-19μg/mL was found to be the most active in this series and might be a potential lead structure for further optimization. The preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of a series of acetophenones are also discussed. A series of acetophenone derivatives have been synthesized and tested for their antifungal activities. Of them 12 derivatives exhibited more potent antifungal effects on some phytopathogens than a positive control hymexazol. Especially, compound 3b (IC50=10-19μg/mL) was found to be the most active and might be a potential lead structure. The SAR of these acetophenones is also discussed.

Isobavachalcone [2′,4,4′-trihydroxy-3′-(3″-methyl- 2″-butenyl)chalcone, 1] is a prenylated chalcone that has broad biological activity, in particular against neuroblastomas, the most common cancer in infancy. It is currently commercially available at a cost of 190/mg by extraction from Psoralea corylifolia and a number of other African and Asian plants. Several synthetic routes have been explored, and the most efficient procedure involves the palladium-catalysed Stille coupling of 3-iodo-2,4-bis(methoxymethoxy)acetophenone (25) with prenyltributyltin, Claisen-Schmidt condensation with 4-(methoxymethoxy)benzaldehyde to form the triply MOM-protected prenylchalcone 27 and finally deprotection with 2 M HCl in methanol to form isobavachalcone in an overall yield of 15 % over five steps. The X-ray crystal structures of 2,4-dihydroxy-3-iodoacetophenone (21) and of several prenylated chalcones are reported, including the elucidation of their hydrogen-bonding networks in the solid state. The synthetic route has been extended to include organometallic derivatives in which the 4-(methoxymethoxy) benzaldehyde used in the Claisen-Schmidt condensation has been replaced by formylferrocene, formylruthenocene or (η5-formylcyclopentadienyl) (η4-tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cobalt to form the corresponding analogues of isobavachalcone containing organometallic sandwich moieties.

In this study, we synthesized some natural and semi-synthetic prenyloxyphenylpropanoids (e.g., acetophenones, benzoic and cinnamic acids, chalcones, and coumarins), and we assessed their in vivo neuroprotective activity, using the mouse maximal electrosho
Chalcones: A valid scaffold for monoamine oxidases inhibitors

A large series of substituted chalcones have been synthesized and tested in vitro for their ability to inhibit human monoamine oxidases A and B (hMAO-A and hMAO-B). While all the compounds showed hMAO-B selective activity in the micro- and nanomolar ranges, the best results were obtained in the presence of chlorine and hydroxyl or methoxyl substituents. To better understand the enzyme-inhibitor interaction and to explain the selectivity of the most active compounds toward hMAO-B, molecular modeling studies were carried out on new, high resolution, hMAO-B crystallographic structures. For the only compound that also showed activity against hMAO-A as well as low selectivity, the molecular modeling study was also performed on the hMAO-A crystallographic structure. The docking technique provided new insight on the inhibition mechanism and the rational drug design of more potent/selective hMAO inhibitors based on the chalcone scaffold.
