Twenty one chalcone derivatives were synthesized using Claisen-Schmidt condensation, their antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum was determined and quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) was developed. Condensation of substituted acetophenones with various aromatic aldehydes at room temperature gave chalcones in 75–96% yield. Chalcones are secondary metabolites of terrestrial plants, precursors for the biosynthesis of flavonoids and exhibit various biological activities. Antiplasmodial IC50 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration) activity of a compound against malaria parasites in?vitro provides a good first screen for identifying the antimalarial potential of the compound. The most active compound was Trans-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1-(2’-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one(1b) with IC50 of 2.1 μM/L. Molecular mechanism was explored through in silico docking & ADMET studies for the active compounds.

As an alternative strategy to fight antibiotic resistance, two-component systems (TCSs) have emerged as novel targets. Among TCSs, master virulence regulators that control the expression of multiple virulence factors are considered as excellent antivirulence targets. In Staphylococcus aureus, virulence factor expression is tightly regulated by a few master regulators, including the SaeRS TCS. In this study, we used a SaeRS GFP-reporter system to screen natural compound inhibitors of SaeRS, and identified xanthoangelol B 1, a prenylated chalcone from Angelica keiskei as a hit. We have synthesized 1 and its derivative PM-56 and shown that 1 and PM-56 both had excellent inhibitory potency against the SaeRS TCS, as demonstrated by various in vitro and in vivo experiments. As a mode of action, 1 and PM-56 were shown to bind directly to SaeS and inhibit its histidine kinase activity, which suggests a possibility of a broad spectrum inhibitor of histidine kinases.

A series of novel hybrid molecular entities incorporating various spiro chromanone scaffolds onto the benzannulated oxepine core moiety were synthesised using allylation, Claisen rearrangement, Kabbe condensation and Ring Closing Metathesis (RCM) as a key step. During the synthesis we found that the nitrogen functionality in the substrate influences significantly the catalyst load due to electronic effects. Several iterations have been carried out to achieve complete conversion to products 6a-6e.
