Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-Phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives as polyfunctional compounds against Alzheimer’s disease

Polyfunctional compounds comprise a novel class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of multi-factorial diseases. A series of 2-Phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one and its derivatives (5a–n) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their poly-functionality against acetylcholinestrase (AChE) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation inhibitors against Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The screening results showed that most of them exhibited a significant ability to inhibit AChE AGEs formation with additional radical scavenging activity. Especially, 5m, 5b, and 5j displayed the greatest ability to inhibit AChE (IC50 = 8.0, 8.2, and 11.8 nM, respectively) and AGEs formation (IC50 = 55, 79, and 54 μM, respectively) with good antioxidant activity. Molecular docking studies explored the detailed interaction pattern with active, peripheral, and mid-gorge sites of AChE. These compounds, exhibiting such multiple pharmacological activities, can be further taken a lead for the development of potent drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Synthesis, antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of nitrostyrenes and related compounds in Burkitt’s lymphoma

Background: Cancers of the lymphatic cells (lymphomas) account for approximately 12% of malignant diseases worldwide. The nitrostyrene scaffold is identified as a lead target structure for the development of particularly effective compounds targeting Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL). Objectives: The aims of the curent study were to synthesise a panel of nitrostyrene compounds and to evaluate their activity in Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL). Methods: A panel of structurally varied compounds were designed and synthesised using Henry Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Single crystal X-Ray analysis confirmed the E configuration for six examples of these novel structures. A number of nitrostyrene-related compounds were also investigated including 1,3-bis(aryl)-2-nitropropenes together with heterocyclic scaffolds containing the nitrovinyl pharmacophore such as 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2H-chromenes. The antiproliferative activities of the compounds were evaluated using the BL cell lines EBV- MUTU-1 and EBV+ DG-75 (chemoresistant) to establish preliminary structure-activity relationships. Results: Lead compounds with optimized nitrostyrene scaffolds and 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2Hchromene structures were successfully established with typical IC50 values of 0.45 μM and 0.47 μM in MUTU-1 cells and 1.41 μM and 1.92 μM, respectively, in DG-75 cells. The mechanism of cell death was identified as apoptotic and the lead compound was found to elicit comparable apoptotic effects to Taxol in Burkitt’s lymphoma cell lines MUTU-1 and DG-75. Conclusion: This class of pharmaceutically active compounds with potential for the treatment of Burkitt’s lymphoma suggest a potential role for nitrostyrene based agents in chemotherapy.

Pharmacophore and docking-based hierarchical virtual screening for the designing of aldose reductase inhibitors: Synthesis and biological evaluation

A set of 54 studied flavonoid inhibitors of aldose reductase (ALR2) enzyme has been utilized for pharmacophore modeling and 3D-QSAR analysis using "PHASE" program of Schr?dinger software. The generated pharmacophore model (AADRR.1109) was challenged to screen "PHASE" database to identify new ALR2 inhibitors. The retrieved hits were employed for docking analysis and pharmacokinetic parameter calculation to obtain orally active molecules. To predict the activity of final retrieved hits, 3D-QSAR model was developed, and the best model was selected on the basis of various statistical parameters (Rtrain 2 0.719; Q test 2 0.647 and SD 0.663). Totally five screened molecules which showed better enhanced predicted activity were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro ALR2 inhibitory activity. All tested molecules showed ALR2 inhibitory activity (IC50) below 40 μM. Additionally, the free radical scavenging potential of synthesized molecules was also determined which played a useful role to control the progression of diabetic complications. All molecules showed good antioxidant potential, thus the designed molecules, in future, could be explored to ameliorate the development of diabetic complications.

Synthesis of halogenated/nitrated flavone derivatives and evaluation of their affinity for the central benzodiazepine receptor

A series of halogenated/nitrated flavone compounds were synthesized. Some of the products were found to be potent central benzodiazepine receptor (BDZ-R) ligands. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) analysis of the new synthetic compounds, together with that of others already described, indicates that substitutions at position 6 or 6 and 3' in the flavone nucleus are the only ones that give rise to high affinity BDZ-R ligands.

Epoxidation of Flavones by Dimethyldioxirane

The synthesis of epoxides 2 by epoxidation of flavones 1 with isolated dimethyldioxirane (as acetone solution) at subambient temperatures is reported.These labile epoxides were isolated and completely characterized by UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR, MS, and C,H analyses.Warming to room temperature led to rearrangement to afford quantitatively the 3-hydroxyflavones 3b,h,i,n.Treatment of the epoxides 2b,f with methanol led to the 3-hydroxy-2-methoxyflavanones 4b,f, as a mixture of cis and trans isomers.

Reactions of Carbonyl Compounds in Basic Solutions. Part 11. The Baker-Venkataraman Rearrangement

The detailed mechanism of the Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement has been studied.The kinetics of the rearrangement of a series of 2-acetylphenyl 3- or 4-substituted benzoates and acetylnaphthyl benzoates catalysed by a basic 'non-nucleophilic' buffer in dimethyl sulphoxide have been measured.Studies of substituent effects, kinetic isotope effects, and acidity function correlations indicate a pathway involving pre-equilibrium formation of the carbanion, followed by rate-determining intramolecular nucleophilic attack.The methanolysis of the 2-acetylphenyl benzoates catalysed by methoxide in methanolic dimethyl sulphoxide has been similary investigated.In this case the pathway appears to involve neighbouring group participation by the ketonic carbonyl group.
