Synthesis and Anticancer Activity of Structure Simplified Naturally Inspired Dimeric Chromenone Derivatives

Select dimeric chromenones exhibit low micromolar cytotoxicity toward lymphoma and leukemia cell lines, L5178Y and HL60, respectively. The bioactive dimeric chromenones were identified from a focused library of structurally simplified derivatives of natur

Novel chromone and xanthone derivatives: Synthesis and ROS/RNS scavenging activities

Chromones and xanthones are oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds acknowledged by their antioxidant properties. In an effort to develop novel agents with improved activity, a series of compounds belonging to these chemical classes were prepared. Their syntheses involve the condensation of appropriate 2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-ones, obtained via Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement, with (E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylaldehyde to provide the corresponding 2-[(1E,3E)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)buta-1,3-dien-1-yl]-4H-chromen-4-ones. Subsequent electrocyclization and oxidation of these compounds led to the synthesis of 1-aryl-9H-xanthen-9-ones. After cleavage of the protecting groups, hydroxylated chromones and xanthones were assessed as scavenging agents against both reactive oxygen species (ROS) [superoxide radical (O2?-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hypochlorous acid (HOCl), singlet oxygen (1O2), and peroxyl radical (ROO?)] and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) [nitric oxide (?NO) and peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-)]. Generally, all the tested new hydroxylated chromones and xanthones exhibited scavenger effects dependent on the concentration, with IC50 values found in the micromolar range. Some of them were shown to have improved scavenging activity when compared with previously reported analogues, allowing the inference of preliminary conclusions on the structure-activity relationship.

Access to 2-alkyl chromanones via a conjugate addition approach

The introduction of alkyl substituents at C-2 of chromanones via conjugate addition of silyl enol ethers to a variety of chromenones is reported. In most cases racemic 2-alkyl chromanones were obtained in good yield in the presence of TMSOTf. The copper(II)-promoted conjugate addition of silyl enol ethers to chromenones was also carried out, albeit in low yields and no selectivity. Reliable syntheses of the chromenones via acylation of the corresponding β-diketo-compounds are also described.

Synthesis of 2-styrylchromones as a novel class of antiproliferative agents targeting carcinoma cells

A series of 2-styrylchromone analogs were synthesized and examined for their antiproliferative effects on a panel of carcinoma cells. Among the tested agents, only 4m exhibited a moderate activity with an IC50 value of 28.9 μM against PC-3 cells which indicates the selectivity of PC-3 cells in response to 2-styrylchromones. In addition, 4q demonstrated the most antiproliferative effect with an IC50 value of 4.9 μM against HeLa cells. Flow cytometric analysis and DAPI staining revealed that HeLa cells exposed to 4q as low as 5 μM induced cell death through sub-G1 arrest and DNA fragmentation. Furthermore, CoMFA analysis of tested 2-styrylchromones resulted in a q2 of 0.459 to generate a 3D-QSAR model on BT483 cell line. Together, these results suggest a potential structural optimization and pharmacological study of 2-styrylchromones.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of flavonoids and related compounds as gastroprotective agents

Several analogs of the gastroprotective molecule flavone have been synthesized and evaluated for gastroprotective activity. A C2-C3 double bond and an intact C ring appear necessary for optimum activity. Activity can be retained by replacing the 2-phenyl substituent with other groups but is eliminated when this ring is moved from the 2- to the 3-position.
