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.

Enzyme catalyzed synthesis is an eco-friendly technique in organic synthesis, having several benefits over conventional methods. In the present work, we describe a simple process of laccase and chloroperoxidase assisted cyclization of chalcones, leading to the formation of flavanones. The reaction proceeds in a mixture of phosphate buffer and ethanol, under oxygen atmosphere at room temperature, yielding the corresponding flavanone in good to moderate yield. The relative configuration of the products at C2 is tentatively assigned as S*-flavanone based on the coupling constants with the methylenic protons H3α,β. In comparison to the chemical methods, we describe a process which can be achieved efficiently under mild conditions using oxygen as oxidant.

A DBU-catalyzed one-pot cascade reaction of propargylamines and water for the synthesis of flavanones has been developed. This process proceeds via a sequence of 1,4-conjugate addition of water to alkynyl o-quinone methide (o-AQM), followed by the alkyne-allene isomerization and subsequent intramolecular oxa-Michael addition. This strategy provides a convenient method for accessing a broad range of flavanones in good to excellent yields with good functional-group tolerance, in particular, the reactive halo functional groups.

A series of new flavanone-triazole hybrids (7a–m) were synthesized from flavanone oximes (6a–c) via multistep synthetic strategy, involving Cu (I) catalyzed azide, alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition by Click reaction. All the synthesized compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against HCT-15, HeLa, NCI-H522, and HEK-293 (normal cell line) cell lines. Compounds 6a, 7a, 7b, 7d, 7e, 7j, and 7m showed the significant cytotoxicity, wherein compound 7b showed potential cytotoxicity against NCI-H522 cell line and compounds 6a and 7a were offensive with HEK-293 in their toxicity profile.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase Pin1 plays a crucial role in the development of human cancers. Recently, we have disclosed that Pin1 regulates the biogenesis of miRNA, which is aberrantly expressed in HCC and promotes HCC progression, indicating the therapeutic role of Pin1 in HCC therapy. Here, 7-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dihydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one (AF-39) was identified as a novel Pin1 inhibitor. Biochemical tests indicate that AF-39 potently inhibits Pin1 activity with an IC50 values of 1.008 μm, and also displays high selectivity for Pin1 among peptidyl prolyl isomerases. Furthermore, AF-39 significantly suppresses cell proliferation of HCC cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mechanistically, AF-39 regulates the subcellular distribution of XPO5 and increases miRNAs biogenesis in HCC cells. This work provides a promising lead compound for HCC treatment, highlighting the therapeutic potential of miRNA-based therapy against human cancer.

A total of 47 flavanones were expediently synthesized via one-pot β-arylation of chromanones, a class of simple ketones possessing chemically unactivated β sites, with arylboronic acids via tandem palladium(II) catalysis. This reaction provides a novel route to various flavanones, including natural products such as naringenin trimethyl ether, in yields up to 92percent.

Vinyl chromium(0) Fischer carbene complexes were employed as the source of π-allylic palladium species for catalytic [3+3] annulation under palladium catalysis. Mechanistically, this transformation is proposed to involve carbene migratory insertion and intramolecular Tsuji–Trost reaction as the key steps. Substituted six-membered heterocyclic flavonones and quinolines are obtained, depending on the nucleophilic functional group on the coupling partners.

Chromone has been noted to be one of the most challenging substrates in the asymmetric 1,4-addi-tion of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. By employing the rhodium complex associated with a chiral diene ligand, (R,R)-Ph-bod, the 1,4-addition of a variety of aryl-boronic acids was realized to give high yields of the corresponding flavanones with excellent enantioselectivities (≥97% ee, 99% ee for most substrates). Ring-opening side products, which would lead to erosion of product enantioselectivity, were not observed under the stated reaction conditions.

Brominated and chlorinated flavonoids belonging to different classes (flavanones, flavones and catechins) were prepared from the corresponding flavonoids by a simple and ecofriendly procedure based on the use of sodium halides, aqueous hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. Pure samples of substrates and products were tested against Trichoderma koningii, Fusarium oxysporum and Cladosporium cladosporioides, common saprotrophic soil and seed fungi, potential pathogens for humans and their activity was expressed as linear mycelial growth inhibition (%). Among them, 8-chloro-5,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyepicatechin 29, a novel catechin derivative, exhibited a remarkable effect against all tested fungi also at low concentrations.

With the aim of improving the cytotoxic and vascular disrupting activities of flavonoids, several classes of ferrocenyl-modified flavonoids were prepared and tested on cancer and endothelial cells. Three ten-member series of ferrocenyl flavonoids: chalcones ((E)-1-(R-2′-hydroxyphenyl)-3- ferrocenylprop-2-en-1-ones), aurones ((Z)-R-2-(ferrocenylidene)benzofuran-3- ones) and flavones (R-2-ferrocenyl-chromen-4-ones) were synthesized by recently reported methods. Three ferrocenyl flavonols (R-3-hydroxy-2-ferrocenyl-chromen- 4-ones) and four ferrocenyl flavanones (3-ferrocenylmethylidenyl-R-2- phenylchroman-4-ones) were also obtained. All compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects on a cancer cell line (B16 murine melanoma) and for their morphological effects on endothelial cells (EAhy 926). Some interesting structure-activity relationships were disclosed: of all the compounds, the halogen-substituted aurones showed the best cytotoxic activity, with IC 50 values ranging between 12 and 18 μM. Ferrocenyl flavonols and ferrocenyl flavanones with substitution in the 3-position (-OH and C-Fc respectively) were not active against cancer or endothelial cells. Some of the ferrocenyl flavones caused the endothelial cells to adopt a round shape ("rounding up") at submicromolar concentrations, which can be predictive of vascular disrupting activity. The most morphologically active flavones showed only moderate cytotoxicity against cancer cells, indicating that they may primarily act as antivascular agents.
