Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely prescribed to treat inflammatory-related diseases, pain and fever. However, the prolong use of traditional NSAIDs leads to undesirable side effects such as gastric, ulceration, and renal toxicity due to lack of selectivity toward respective targets for COX-2, 5-LOX, and PDE4B. Thus, targeting multiple sites can reduce these adverse effects of the drugs and increase its potency. A series of methoxyflavones (F1–F5) were synthesized and investigated for their anti-inflammatory properties through molecular docking and inhibition assays. Among these flavones, only F2 exhibited selectivity toward COX-2 (Selectivity Index, SI: 3.90, COX-2 inhibition: 98.96 ± 1.47%) in comparison with celecoxib (SI: 7.54, COX-2 inhibition: 98.20 ± 2.55%). For PDEs, F3 possessed better selectivity to PDE4B (SI: 4.67) than rolipram (SI: 0.78). F5 had the best 5-LOX inhibitory activity among the flavones (33.65 ± 4.74%) but less than zileuton (90.81 ± 0.19%). Docking analysis indicated that the position of methoxy group and the substitution of halogen play role in determining the bioactivities of flavones. Interestingly, F1–F5 displayed favorable pharmacokinetic profiles and acceptable range of toxicity (IC50>70 μM) in cell lines with the exception for F1 (IC50: 16.02 ± 1.165 μM). This study generated valuable insight in designing new anti-inflammatory drug based on flavone scaffold. The newly synthesized flavones can be further developed as future therapeutic agents against inflammation.

A simple and highly efficient protocol for synthesis of flavones from 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-aryl-1,3-propanediones in presence of ZnO nanoparticles as a promoter in thermal as well as microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions have been demonstrated. The catalyst is inexpensive, stable, can be easily recycled/reused for several cycles with consistent activity and observed almost same yield confirming the stability of the catalyst. It is believed that the present approach will become an alternative route for the conventional reactions. Because in this protocol, yield is quite high, short reaction time, simple work up, catalyst can be recycled as well as it is free of any hazardous by-products formation during workup.

Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties have attracted more attention in recent years. In order to realise more valuable applications, the different kinds of AIEE molecules are in serious need of further development. Therefore, a novel flavone-based AIEE system derived from restriction of intramolecular rotation (RIR) was designed and synthesized in this work. The results revealed that six of the compounds showed typical AIEE characteristics, with fluorescence emissions from purple, blue, cyan to green, tunable by changing substituent groups. This flavone-based AIEE system has never been reported before. The AIEE characteristics were investigated by optical spectroscopy, fluorescence photographs, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fluorescence quantum yields (φF) and fluorescence lifetime in the CH3OH/H2O mixed solution. Moreover, benefiting from the simple structures and small molecular weight, they could permeate cells faster than current high-molecular-weight AIEE molecules. Furthermore, to examine possible biomedical applications, fluorescence imaging in living A549 lung cells and cell viabilities were examined, and the results displayed that these fluorophores showed good cellular uptake and low cytotoxicity within the experimental concentration range. In addition, these AIEE compounds possessed excellent specificity for mitochondrial targeting and mitochondrial morphological change tracking, besides, they displayed superior photostability, which indicated they are potential candidates for mitochondrial imaging.

Ynones are privileged building blocks in various organic syntheses of heterocyclic derivatives due to their multifunctional nature, and flavones are an important class of natural products with a wide range of biological activities. We describe the catalytic double decarboxylative alkynylation of arylpropiolic acids with α-keto acids. With Ag(I)/persulfate as the catalysis system, the valuable ynones bearing various substituents could be easily obtained. The introduction of hydroxyl substituent on ortho-site of α-keto acids make this strategy further applicable to the construction of flavone derivatives via heteroannulation in moderate to good yields with a similar silver-catalyzed system. The reactions proceed under relatively mild reaction conditions and tolerate a wide variety of functional groups. Control experiments indicated that both the reactions undergo radical processes.

Lewis base, N-methylmorpholine (NMM) accelerated Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of steric hindered super active esters, 1a–1e, and terminal alkynes. This approach provided an efficient synthetic protocol for a broad array of acylated o-alkynoylphenols compounds, 3a–3e, under moderate conditions. The mechanistic study clearly demonstrated that NNM stabilized the catalytic palladium species, and accelerated the leaving of triazine moiety during the catalytic cycle of the cross-coupling reactions. In addition, piperazine was found to efficiently catalyze the 6-endo cyclization of acylated o-alkynoylphenols, which achieved the diversity oriented synthesis of γ-benzopyranones, 4aa–4eg, with 93–99% yields.

Background: An expeditious approach has been developed for the synthesis of two distinct classes of benzopyrones viz. flavones and coumarins under solvent-free conditions. L-Ascorbic acid was found to be an effective promoter under microwave irradiation and conventional heating. Various benzo-α-pyrones and benzo-γ-pyrones were synthesized with overall good yields. The present protocol is highly facile and needs no column chromatography for purification and therefore it would serve as an effective and compatible method under both microwave irradiation and conventional heating. Results: The catalytic ability of L-ascorbic acid was investigated for the synthesis of flavones and coumarins. For this purpose, cyclodehydration of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-aryl-1,3-propanedione and Pechmann coumarin synthesis, reactions were selected. And accordingly, it was observed that one mole of L-ascorbic acid was necessary for the completion of reaction. In all the cases, the desired flavones were smoothly generated with good to excellent yields; indicating its excellent tolerance for various functional groups. However, electron donating groups favors coumarin synthesis under these conditions. All the reaction mixtures were carefully analyzed and NMR indicates high conversions and lack of side products. Conclusion: We have developed L-ascorbic acid-promoted, solvent-free and simple method for the synthesis of benzo-α-pyrones and benzo-γ-pyrone under microwave irradiation as well as conventional heating in good to excellent yields. The notable advantages of this method are solvent-free conditions, inexpensive and efficient eco-friendly promoter, and shorter reaction time and can be carried out under air. This methodology is highly facile and requires no column chromatography for purification. The resulting flavones and coumarins are versatile building blocks in the construction of heterocyclic architectures, dominant in natural products. Further studies of exploiting the efficiency of L-ascorbic acid as a promoter in synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds are in progress.

In this present study, certain substituted 4-iminoflavone derivatives 5(a-j) were synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for antiasthmatic and antimicrobial activity. Among the synthesized compounds, 5f was found to be the most promising against asthmatic models, whilst, 5h was found active against all the microbial strains. Antiasthmatic activity was correlated and evaluated with various models, e.g., citric acid induced cough model, OVA induced asthma model (biochemical estimation for cell infiltrations, estimation of lipid peroxidation and glutathione and estimation of TNF-α and IL-6 and histamine induced response). Compound 5f was found to show 2.20 ± 0.047 number of cough whilst codeine showed 1.40 ± 0.548; compound 5f produced considerable reduction in neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and leukocytes; decrease in LPO level (lung and BALF) and increment in GSH level (lungand BALF); and decreased the level of TNF-α and IL-6, respectively. On the other hand, 5h showed MIC 6.25 μg/mL against B. subtilis and S. aureus, 3.1 μg/mL against E. coli, 1.55 μg/mL against S. typhi and 6.25 μg/mL against C. albicans, respectively. In addition to gain better understanding on the biological activities of synthesized compounds, molecular docking study was performed within the binding site of human histamine H1 receptor and Glc-6-P synthase revealing compound 5f and 5h as best fit within the respective receptor pockets.
