Targeting tyrosinase (TYR), a key enzyme responsible for melanogenesis disorders, is a well-known approach utilized for the development of melanogenesis inhibitor. A variety of dermatological disorders and microbial skin infections can cause hyperpigmentation. Hence, exploring new scaffolds for the treatment of melanogenesis disease is an inspiring goal. In this context, a series of varyingly substituted flavone-based hydrazones have been designed, synthesized and characterized successfully. The present study describes the discovery of novel mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors (TIs) for treating hyperpigmentation. In due course, flavone scaffold has been incorporated into the novel chemotypes that exhibit in vitro inhibitory effects against mushroom tyrosinase for the purpose of discovering anti‐melanogenic agents. Biological investigations of prepared analogs herein demonstrated moderate to excellent activity against most of the fungal-bacterial strains and their activity is comparable to those of commercially available antibiotics i.e., Ciprofloxacin and Ketoconazole. Based on in vitro tyrosinase inhibitory assay, some compounds exhibited potent inhibition particularly, 3g (IC50 = 1.40 ± 0.16 μM), 3j (IC50 = 0.95 ± 0.07 μM), 3o (IC50 = 1.13 ± 0.11 μM), and 3q (IC50 = 1.01 ± 0.1 μM) showed best inhibition i.e., 0.7, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.5 folds, respectively, than kojic acid (IC50 = 1.79 ± 0.6 μM). Lineweaver-Burk plots demonstrated that the most potential derivative 3j tyrosinase inhibition proceeds via non-competitive pathway and the Michaelis-Menton constant (Km) value is 0.0265. Molecular modeling was performed for all tested analogs (3a–3q) using a model of mushroom tyrosinase to find crucial binding modes liable for inhibitory activity. The SARs were preliminarily examined, and the docking study revealed that analogs 3j, 3o and 3p had a strong binding association to tyrosinase (2Y9X). Furthermore, a drug-likeness study was employed and confirmed the favorable activity of the new analogs as a new anti-tyrosinase agent.

A small library of flavone-based hydrazones has been designed, synthesized and characterized. In this context, thirteen flavone hydrazones (3a-3 m) were synthesized by the acid-catalyzed condensation of flavone with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) and characterized by different spectral techniques (IR, UV–Vis, NMR and mass spectrometry). The electrochemical, photophysical and theoretical investigations of such type of compounds are hitherto unknown. The electrochemical behavior of these hydrazones at a platinum electrode has been analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and was investigated at 200, 100 and 40 mVs?1 in acetonitrile (CH3CN). These hydrazones showed a quasi-reversible redox reaction. The oxidation–reduction reactive sites of these derivatives were located via geometry optimization using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/3–21 g in the Guassian-09 level of theory. Moreover, the target compounds exhibited interesting fluorescent properties. Owing to their excellent photophysical and redox results, a detailed structure-property relationship was established to assess the substituents impact and their position on the physicochemical and electronic properties. All the experimental results were in accordance with the computational studies.

An efficient intramolecular cyclization reaction of β-diketones containing a phenyl group with an ortho-hydroxyl substituent was achieved. Using CF3SOCl as an additive, the reaction took place under transition-metal-free and mild conditions. A series of flavones were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields.

A trisulfur-radical-anion (S3˙-)-triggered C(sp2)-H amination of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives with simple amines has been demonstrated. This protocol provides convenient access to a variety of synthetically valuable N-unprotected and secondary β-enaminones with absolute Z selectivity and tertiary β-enaminones with E selectivity. Mechanistic probe and electronic structure theory calculations suggest that S3˙- initiates the nucleophilic attacks via a thiirane intermediate.

One-pot oxidative cascade catalysis plays a central role in the synthesis of key pharmaceutical and industrial molecules. Although ionic liquids are one of the most promising solvents and reaction media, the breakthrough of their catalysis in aerobic oxidation is very challenging due to the difficulty in the direct activation of molecular oxygen. Herein, a family of novel thermally regulated molybdate-based ionic liquids (Mo-ILs) has been designed and developed for the first time toward molecular oxygen activation for highly efficient tandem oxidative catalysis. Three diverse one-pot oxidative cascade processes for the syntheses of various flavones, imines, and benzyl benzoates were achieved with good to excellent yields using the Mo-IL [Bmim]2[MoO4] as a catalyst under air conditions. The results of spectroscopic investigations and quantum-chemical calculations further demonstrated that a thermally regulated proton migration between the cation [Bmim] and anion [MoO4] was the key to forming N-heterocyclic carbene and thereby to effortlessly promoting the generation of O2- active species from molecular oxygen, which results in excellent catalytic performance in these three aerobic tandem oxidations. Our work extends the application area of ILs as the sole catalyst to one-pot aerobic oxidative cascade catalysis, which could have pronounced implications in future work.

A new synthetic strategy utilizing POCl3-water for the conversion of 2′-hydroxychalcones to flavanones and flavones has been developed. The reagent efficiently promoted one-pot conversion of 2′-hydroxychalcones to flavones through flavanones involving cyclization and oxidative dehydrogenation. By changing the stoichiometery of the reagents, the reaction can be tuned to generate either flavanone or flavone. The developed protocol was found to be applicable for a variety of 2′-hydroxychalcones.

In this work, the first example of a radical stereodivergent reaction directed towards the stereoselective synthesis of both (R*,R*)- and (R*,S*)-2,2′-biflavanones promoted by samarium diiodide is reported. Control experiments showed that the selectivity of this reaction was exclusively controlled by the temperature. It was possible to generate a variety of 2,2′-biflavanones bearing different substitution patterns at the aromatic ring in good-to-quantitative yields, being both stereoisomers of the desired compounds obtained with total or high control of selectivity. A mechanism that explains both the generation of the corresponding 2,2′-biflavanones and the selectivity is also discussed. The structure and stereochemistry determination of each isomer was unequivocally elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments.

The present invention relates to a one-pot synthesis method of homoisoflavonoid derivatives and flavone derivatives. By conducting a reaction of salicylicaldehyde and arylalkynoic acid in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst and a base, homoisoflavonoids and flavones can be selectively obtained through a single step (one-pot). Therefore, a synthesis method of the present invention is a simple/disposable selective metal catalyst synthesis method, which can be used to manufacture a plurality of bioactive materials.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2019

A novel aldehydic C?H functionalization reaction between salicylaldehydes and sulfoxonium ylides has been developed under rhodium(III) catalysis, affording coupling products in moderate to good yields. A plausible mechanism involving aldehydic C(sp2)?H activation by rhodium(III) and rhodium(III) catalyzed carbene insertion is also proposed. It was also found that the aldehydic C?H functionalization followed by dehydrative cyclization was able to produce flavonoids in one-pot. (Figure presented.).
