Structure-activity relationship of dialkoxychalcones to combat fish pathogen saprolegnia Australis

To investigate the anti-Saprolegnia activities of chalconic compounds, nine dialkoxychalcones 2–10, along with their key building block 2,4-dihydroxychalcone 1, were evaluated for their potential oomycide activities against Saprolegnia australis strains. The synthesis afforded a series of O-alkylated derivatives with typical chalcone skeletons. Compounds 4–10 were reported for the first time. Interestingly, analogue 8 with the new scaffold demonstrated remarkable in vitro growth-inhibitory activities against Saprolegnia strains, displaying greater anti-oomycete potency than the standard drugs used in the assay, namely fluconazole and bronopol. In contrast, a dramatic loss of activity was observed for O-alkylated derivatives 2, 3, 6, and 7. These findings have highlighted the therapeutic potential of the natural compound 1 scaffold to be exploitable as a drug lead with specific activity against various Saprolegnia strains.

Methoxychalcones: Effect of methoxyl group on the antifungal, antibac-terial and antiproliferative activities

Background: Chalcones substituted by methoxyl groups have presented a broad spec-trum of bioactivities, including antifungal, antibacterial and antiproliferative effects. However, a clear and unambiguous investigation about the relevance of this substituent on the chalcone framework has not been described. Objective: The purpose of this work is to assess the antibacterial, antifungal and antiproliferative activities of the two series of seventeen synthesized regioisomeric methoxychalcones. Series I and II were constituted by chalcones substituted by methoxyl groups on rings A (5–12) and B (13–21), respectively. In addition, the library of methoxychalcones was submitted to in silico drug-likeness and pharmacokinetics properties predictions. Methods: Methoxychalcones were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by NMR spectral data analyses. Evaluations of antimicrobial activity were performed against five species of Candida, two Gram-negative and five Gram-positive species. For antiproliferative activity, methoxychalcones were evaluated against four human tumorigenic cell lines, as well as human non-tumorigenic keratinocytes. Drug-likeness and pharmacokinetics properties were predicted using Molinspiration and PreADMET toolkits. Results: In general, chalcones of series I are the most potent antifungal, antibacterial and antipro-liferative agents. 3’, 4’, 5’-Trimethoxychalcone (12) demonstrated potent antifungal activity against Candida krusei (MIC = 3.9 μg/mL), eight times more potent than fluconazole (reference antifungal drug). 3’-Methoxychalcone (6) displayed anti-Pseudomonas activity (MIC = 7.8 μg/mL). 2’,5’-Dimethoxychalcone (9) displayed potent antiproliferative effect against C-33A (cervix), A-431 (skin) and MCF-7 (breast), with IC50 values ranging from 7.7 to 9.2 μM. Its potency was superior to curcumin (reference antiproliferative compound), which exhibited IC50 values ranging from 10.4 to 19.0 μM. Conclusion: Our studies corroborated the relevance of methoxychalcones as antifungal, antibacte-rial and antiproliferative agents. In addition, we elucidated influence of the position and number of methoxyl groups toward bioactivity. In silico predictions indicated good drug-likeness and phar-macokinetics properties to the library of methoxychalcones.

Iron-facilitated oxidative radical decarboxylative cross-coupling between α-oxocarboxylic acids and acrylic acids: An approach to α,β-unsaturated carbonyls

The first Fe-facilitated decarboxylative cross-coupling reaction between α-oxocarboxylic acids and acrylic acids in aqueous solution has been developed. This transformation is characterized by its wide substrate scope and good functional group compatibility utilizing inexpensive and easily accessible reagents, thus providing an efficient and expeditious approach to an important class of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls frequently found in bioactive compounds. The synthetic potential of the coupled products is also demonstrated in subsequent functionalization reactions. Preliminary mechanism studies suggest that a free radical pathway is involved in this process: the generation of an acyl radical from α-oxocarboxylic acid via the excision of carbon dioxide followed by the addition of an acyl radical to the α-position of the double bond in acrylic acid then delivers the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl adduct through the extrusion of another carbon dioxide.

Ferrocenyl chalcones versus organic chalcones: A comparative study of their nematocidal activity

A series of 30 organic chlacones and 33 ferrocenyl (Fc) chalcones were synthesized and characterized by melting point, elemental analysis, spectroscopy (1H NMR and FTIR) and, in two cases, by X-ray crystallography. The biological activity of each compound (10-4 M in DMSO) against the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was examined in terms of % mortality (percent nematodes that died) and % fecundity (percent nematodes that reproduced) and compared to that obtained for the control medium (1% DMSO) over a 14-day period. Detailed conformational analyses for two Fc-chalcones (studied also by X-ray crystallography) were performed via molecular modeling studies. In general, the organic chalcones were found to be less polar than their Fc analogs. Some structure-activity relationships (SARs) were determined: (a) The nematocidal activities of the organic chalcones in this series were found to be much greater than those of their ferrocenyl analogs. (b) The position of the carbonyl group played a central role in the biological activity of both classes of chalcones studied. (c) For both classes of chalcones, lipophilicity of a compound seemed to play a significant role in its nematocidal activity. (d) The planarity of a ferrocenyl-chlacone seems to play a role in its activity.

Antiproliferative properties of piperidinylchalcones

Methoxylated chalcones bearing N-methylpiperidinyl substituents on ring A inhibited the growth of human tumour cell lines (MCF, HCT 116, and Jurkat) at IC50 values of 50 of 12. Down regulation of cell cycle regulatory components (CDK4, cyclin B, E2F, and phosphorylated Rb) were observed under similar conditions. Methoxylated chalcones without the piperidinyl substituent were found to exert equally potent and selective antiproliferative activity against HCT 116 tumour cells but did not interfere with cell cycle progression at their IC50 concentrations. The presence of the piperidinyl substituent in the chalcone template is proposed to lend specificity to the mechanism of antiproliferative activity, in addition to promoting a more desirable physicochemical profile.

The heck coupling reaction using aryl vinyl ketones: Synthesis of flavonoids

In our previous communication, an α,β-unsaturated aryl ketone was employed as the substrate olefin, which underwent arylation in the Heck coupling reaction. The use of this reagent has allowed us to design a new strategy for the synthesis of flavonoids. In this paper, we illustrate the versatility of the procedure, which was used for the preparation of several chalcones. According to our synthetic scheme, several aryl iodides, selected in order to obtain chalcones differently substituted in ring B, were treated with α,β-unsaturated ketones. All reported syntheses gave high yields. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004.

Condensation reactions in water of active methylene compounds with arylaldehydes. One-pot synthesis of flavonols

The condensation reactions of acetophenone, cyclohexanone, isophorone, phenylacetonitrile, p-nitrophenylacetonitrile, (phenylsulfonyl)acetonitrile and indene with benzaldehyde were studied in water heterogeneous phase in the presence and absence of anionic and cationic surfactants such as SLS, CTACl, (CTA)2SO4 and CTAOH. All the reactions occur with excellent yields. The cationic surfactants favour the reaction and the comparison with the corresponding tetrabutylammonium salts show that the micellar catalysis is effective mainly towards the dehydration reaction following that of condensation. Anionic surfactant SLS is inactive. 2'-hydroxychalcones were prepared in aqueous medium in good-excellent yields and the one-pot synthesis of 7- and 3',4'-substituted flavonols was achieved.
