The known chalcone (±)-sanjuanolide (1) can be isolated from Dalea frutescens. This study presents a convergent strategy for the first total synthesis of (R)-, (S)-, and (±)-sanjuanolide (1). The key step for synthesizing (R)- and (S)-1 was a Corey-Bakshi

Glutamate-induced neurotoxicity is characterized by cellular Ca2+ uptake, which is upstream of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced apoptosis signaling and MAPKs activation. In the present study, we synthesized isoliquiritigenin analogs with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing functional groups. These analogs were evaluated for neuroprotective effect against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in HT22 cells. Among these analogs, compound BS11 was selected as a potent neuroprotective agent. Cellular Ca2+ concentration, ROS level, MAPKs activation and AIF translocation to the nucleus were increased upon treatment with 5 mM glutamate. In contrast, we identified that compound BS11 reduced the cellular Ca2+ concentration and ROS level upon glutamate exposure. Western blot analysis showed that MAPK activation was decreased by treatment with compound BS11. We further identified that cotreatment of compound BS11 and glutamate inhibited translocation of AIF to the nucleus.

The Vernohia anthelmintica L.'s extract is one of the most popular Uygur medicines used for vitiligo. It is believed that the chalcone compounds of the plant play an important role in the treatment since they may activate tyrosinase and improve melanin production. In this study, twenty-one chalcones and nine analogues were synthesized in view of three different components of chalcone (A, B ring and α, β-unsaturated carbonyl). After biological evaluation of their activity on tyrosinase in cell-free systems, the result showed that most compounds (except polyhydroxy chalcones) possess activator effect on the tyrosinase, especially for 13a–15a, 20a and 1b, which bearing a comparable activity to the positive control 8-MOP. SAR of these tyrosinase activator was summed up for the first time as well. Finally, compound 13a was found to increase melanin contents and tyrosinase activity 1.75 and 1.3 fold, respectively, compared with that of untreated murine B16 cells at the concentration of 40?μg/mL.
