Convenient synthesis of flavanone derivatives via oxa-Michael addition using catalytic amount of aqueous cesium fluoride

A total of 36 flavanones, which included polycyclic aromatic and heterocyclic rings, were readily synthesized via oxa-Michael addition from the corresponding hydroxychalcones with a catalytic amount of aqueous cesium fluoride solution under mild conditions. This method could be applied to the scalable synthesis of eriodictyol as a known potent inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

NHC-catalyzed reaction of enals with hydroxy chalcones: Diastereoselective synthesis of functionalized coumarins

The N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed annulation of enals with 2′-hydroxy chalcones afford cyclopentane-fused coumarin derivatives with an excellent level of diastereocontrol. The reaction tolerates a broad range of functional groups; 25 examples are given, and a preliminary mechanistic investigation is provided.

Synthesis and cdc25B inhibitory activity evaluation of chalcones

A library of sixty-five chalcones was prepared for screening against the protein phosphatase, cdc25B. From this library, thirteen compounds were found having good inhibitory activity. Two compounds have excellent activity and can be used for the design of

Synthesis and anti Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus activity of substituted chalcones alone and in combination with non-beta-lactam antibiotics

A total of 30 chalcone analogues was synthesized via a base catalyzed Claisen Schmidt condensation and screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) alone or in combination with non beta-lactam antibiotics namely ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, vancomycin, doxycycline and gentamicin. In the checkerboard technique, fractional inhibitory concentration indices (FICI) show that the following combinations like ciprofloxacin with 25 (4′-bromo-2-hydroxychalcone); doxycycline with 21 (4-hydroxychalcone); doxycycline with 25; and doxycycline with 4 (2′,2-dihydroxychalcone) were synergistic against MRSA. In term SAR study, the relationship between chalcone structure and their antibacterial activity against S. aureus and synergy with tested antibiotics were discussed. Possible mechanisms for antibacterial activity of chalcones alone as well as the synergistic effect in combinations were proposed by molecular modeling studies, respectively. Combinations of chalcones with conventional antibiotics could be an effective alternative in the treatment of infection caused by MRSA.

Inhibitory activity of prostaglandin E2 production by the synthetic 2′-hydroxychalcone analogues: Synthesis and SAR study

A series of 2′-hydroxychalcones has been synthesized and screened for their in vitro inhibitory activities of cyclooxygenase-2 catalyzed prostaglandin production from lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Structure-activity relationship study suggested that inhibitory activity against prostaglandin E2 production was governed to a greater extent by the substituent on B ring of the chalcone, and most of the active compounds have at least two methoxy or benzyloxy groups on B ring. The relationship between chalcone structures and their PGE2 inhibitory activities was also interpreted by docking study on cyclooxygenase-2.

Synthetic chalcones as potential anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive agents

In an effort to develop potent anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive agents, a series of chalcones were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of appropriate acetophenones with suitable aromatic aldehyde or prepared with appropriate dihydrochalco

Synthesis and inhibitory activity against COX-2 catalyzed prostaglandin production of chrysin derivatives

A series of chrysin derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their inhibitory activities of cyclooxygenase-2 catalyzed prostaglandin production. Chrysin derivatives were prepared from 2-hydroxyacetophenone, 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and 2,6-dihydroxyacetophenone in 2 to 4 steps, respectively. Methxoylated chrysin derivatives were converted to the corresponding hydroxylated chrysin derivatives by the reaction with BBr 3 in good yields. The inhibitory activity of the chrysin derivatives against prostaglandin production from lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 cells was measured. We found that chrysin derivatives with 3′,4′- dichloro substituents (5e, 6e and 7e) exhibited good inhibitory activity of prostaglandin production.
