Synthesis, crystal structure and antitumour activity evaluation of 1H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one derivatives

A series of 1H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one derivatives were synthesised through Knoevenagel condensation of substituted flavanones with thiazolidine-2,4-dione in ethanol in the presence of piperidine. The mechanism of the reaction was proposed. All synthesised compounds were characterised by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and elemental analysis. The structure of 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-1H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one was confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. A preliminary antitumour screening showed that 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-thieno [2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one had moderate to good activity against A549, BGC-823, HCT116 and MDA-MB-453 cancer cell lines, and 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one displayed similar activity against these four kinds of cancer cells compared with the reference drug.

Nanosilica-supported dual acidic ionic liquid as a heterogeneous and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of flavanones under solvent-free conditions

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] A nanosilica-supported dual acidic ionic liquid on the basis of 1-methyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)imidazolium hydrogen sulfate was synthesized and used as an efficient, green, non-corrosive, non-toxic, heterogeneous, and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of some new and known substituted flavanones. The synthesis was done by the condensation of 2'-hydroxyacetophenone with different aldehydes and the subsequent cyclization of the resulting 2'-hydroxychalcone in the presence of the catalyst. High yields of the products, short reaction times, and solvent-free conditions characterize this new method.

Synthesis of chiral flavanones from tricarbonyl (η6- Arylbenzaldehyde)chromium(0)

A synthesis of chiral flavanones via the condensation of tricarbonyl(η6-arylbenzaldehyde)chromium(0) and o-hydroxyacetophenone in a shorter time at room temperature have been developed. The tricarbonylchromium(0) group was removed by virtue of light and the enantioenriched flavanones was formed with highly enantioselectivity (> 95 % ee).

Synthetic chalcones, flavanones, and flavones as antitumoral agents: Biological evaluation and structure-activity relationships

A series of synthetic chalcones, flavanones, and flavones has been synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against the human kidney carcinoma cells TK-10, human mammary adenocarcinoma cells MCF-7 (estrogen receptor-positive), and human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT-29. The most active series is the chalcone ones with the best results against TK-10 and HT-29 cells. Fourteen out of 53 analyzed compounds resulted very active against at least two of the studied tumoral cells. Alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis, comet assay, was performed as a study of the chromosomal aberrations promoted by the compounds on normal cells. Four active and two inactive chalcones were studied in the comet assay against normal human kidney cells (HK-2). A structure-activity relationship analysis of these compounds was performed and for 4- and 3,4-disubstituted derivatives a quantitative correlation was obtained in the case of anti-HT-29 activity.

Synthesis of flavanones using nanocrystalline MgO

The design and development of a truly nano heterogeneous catalyst for the Claisen-Schmidt condensation (CSC) of benzaldehydes with 2-hydroxyacetophenone to yield substituted chalcones followed by isomerization to afford flavanones with excellent yields and selectivity is described.
