A series of halogenated flavanones were synthesized from 2-hydroxychalcones and tested for their cytotoxicity against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized compounds, 3′,7-dichloroflavanone (2d) showed the highest activity against MCF-7, LNCaP, PC3, Hep-G2, KB and SK-N-MC cells. However, 3′,6-dichloroflavanone (2g) with IC50 value of 2.9 ± 0.9 μM was the most potent compound against MDA-MB-231 cells, being approximately 12 times more active than etoposide as reference drug. According to the flow-cytometric analysis, compound 2g can induce apoptosis by 66.19 and 21.37% in PC3 and MDA-MB-231 cells, respectively. The results of acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining and TUNEL assay suggested that the cytotoxic activity of this compound in PC3 and MDA-MB-231 cells occurs via apoptosis.

Anhydrous potassium carbonate has been utilized as an inexpensive, safe, and efficient basic catalyst for the synthesis of flavanones starting either from 2′-hydroxychalcones or from 2′-hydroxyacetophenones. In both the cases the favored reaction condition was either refluxing in a solvent with added catalyst or microwave irradiation on the catalyst.
Oxidative Cleavage of 4-Oximinoflavans Using Iodobenzene Diacetate
Prakash, O. M.,Pahuja, Saroj,Sawhney, S. N.
, p. 73 - 74 (2007/10/02)
Oxidation of 4-oximinoflavans (Ia-g) using iodobenzene diacetate leads to cleavage with the formation of corresponding flavanones (IIa-g) under neutral conditions in 60-80percent yields.
