A new series of thiazolyl pyrazoline derivatives linked to benzo[1,3]dioxole moiety: Synthesis and evaluation of antimicrobial and anti-proliferative activities

2-(5-(Benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-3-(naphthalen-1-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-(4-substituted phenyl)thiazole (7) and thiazole derivatives (9) were synthesized via reaction of 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles (5a,b) with substituted phenacyl bromide and a number of α-halo-compounds respectively. Also, (E)-2-(5-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-3-(naphthalen-1-yl)-4,5 dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-methyl-5-(substituted phenyldiazenyl)thiazole (11) were prepared through reactions of carbothioamide (5a,b) with hydrazonoyl halides. In addition, thioamides (5a–b) were used as starting materials for preparation of thiazoles (12a–b) and benzylidene thiazoles (13a–b). Most of synthesized compounds show interesting biological properties as antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities, the results of minimum inhibitory concentration showed that pyrazole derivative 7c (MIC: 0.23 mg/mL) showed better results when compared with 11c and 12a (MIC: 0.1–0.125 mg/mL) as obtained from their MIC values. On the other hand, 2-(5-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-(4-chlorophenyl) thiazole (7c) can be considered as the most promising anti-proliferative agent against HCT-116 cancer cells owing to its notable inhibitory effect on HCT-116 cells with an IC50 value of 6.19 μM.

One-pot synthesis of multifunctionalized cyclopropanes

A facile one-step synthetic protocol toward multifunctionalized cyclopropanes 4 is developed from substituted chalcones 1 and sulfones 2 in good yields via a [2C+1C] annulation.

One-pot synthesis of multifunctionalized m-terphenyls

A facile one-step synthetic protocol toward multifunctionalized m-terphenyls 5 and sulfonyl m-terphenyls 6 is developed from substituted chalcones 1 and allyl sulfone 2 in good yields via a [3C+3C] annulation. The NaH-mediated annulation features transition metal catalyst-free condition. Chalcones 1 with the functional groups tolerance are easily prepared via Claisen-Schmidt condensation of substituted benzaldehydes 3 with acetophenone 4 in a qualitative yield under an aqueous alkaline methanolic solution.

Effect of ring A and ring B substitution on the cytotoxic potential of pyrazole tethered chalcones

Chalcone is an aromatic ketone that forms the central core for a variety of important biological compounds, which are collectively known as chalcones. The cytotoxic potential of chalcones which consists of C6-C 3-C6 units gets enhanced by the incorporation of pyrazole ring as proved by our earlier studies. Thus in the present work, pyrazoles of chalcones with ring A substituted by furan, naphthalene and variety of substituted phenyl rings has been prepared and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against PC-3, OVCAR, IMR-32, HEP-2 human cancer cell lines.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of naphthalene, furan and pyrrole based chalcones as cytotoxic and antimicrobial agents

Chalcone is an aromatic ketone that forms the central core for a variety of important biological compounds, which are collectively known as chalcones. These show antibacterial, antifungal, antitumour and antiinflammatory properties, and also are intermediates in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, substances widespread in plants with an array of biological activities. These biaryl propenones show potent toxicity to several cancer cell lines and interact with tubulin at its colchicine-binding site. Tubulin binding molecules interfere with the dynamic instability of microtubules and thereby disrupt microtubule inducing cell cycle arrest in the M phase, forming abnormal spindles and finally leading to apoptotic cell death. Basically Chalcones consists of C6-C3-C6 units but in the present study we report the reactions of 1-acetylnaphthalene, 2-acetylfuran and 2-acetylpyrrole with aldehydes, thus getting compounds akin to chalcones. 31 analogues have been synthesised and evaluated for cytotoxic potential against PC-3, OVCAR, IMR-32 and HEP-2. Compound 9 was found to be the most cytotoxic with inhibition ranging from 72 to 88% against the cell lines employed. The synthetics were also evaluated for antimicrobial activity and compound 25 was found to be the most potent. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.

Naphthylchalcones induce apoptosis and caspase activation in a leukemia cell line: The relationship between mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, and cell death

In this study, we investigated the effects of 24 chalcone derivatives from 2-naphthylacetophenone toward a lymphoblastic leukemia cell line (L1210). Three compounds, called R7, R13, and R15, presented concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity and induced cellular death by apoptosis via mitochondrial injury and oxidative stress. The effects of these compounds appear to occur through different mechanisms because R13 and R7 induced a greater disturbance of mitochondrial potential, and all compounds induced disturbances of cellular ATP content and increased caspase-3 activity before cellular death. These compounds also interfered with antioxidant enzymes activities and GSH content through different mechanisms.

Biochemical evaluation of a series of synthetic chalcone and hydrazide derivatives as novel inhibitors of cruzain from trypanosoma cruzi

Chagas' disease, a parasitic infection widely distributed throughout Latin America, is a major public health problem with devastating consequences in terms of human morbidity and mortality. The enzyme cruzain is the major cysteine protease from Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of American trypanosomiasis or Chagas' disease, and has been selected as an attractive target for the development of novel trypanocidal drugs. In the present work, we describe the synthesis and inhibitory effects of a series of thirty-three chalcone and seven hydrazide derivatives against the enzyme cruzain from T. cruzi. Most of the compounds showed promising in vitro inhibition (IC50 values in the range of 20-60 μM), which suggest the potential of these compounds as lead candidates for further development. Twelve compounds have not been reported before, and four of them (7, 13, 16 e 18) are among the most potent inhibitors of the series.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of aromatic enones related to curcumin

Curcumin, a natural product isolated from the spice turmeric, has been shown to exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activities including certain anti-cancer properties. It has been specifically shown to be an effective inhibitor of angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. Using curcumin as a lead compound for anti-angiogenic analog design, a series of structurally related compounds utilizing a substituted chalcone backbone have been synthesized and tested via an established SVR cell proliferation assay. The results have yielded a wide range of compounds that equal or exceed curcumin's ability to inhibit endothelial cell growth in vitro. Due to both their commercial availability and their fairly straightforward synthetic preparation, these low molecular weight compounds are attractive leads for developing future angiogenic inhibitors.
