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.

Design, synthesis, and cholinesterase inhibition assay of liquiritigenin derivatives as anti-Alzheimer's activity

The marine environment is a rich resource for discovering functional materials, and seaweed is recognized for its potential use in biology and medicine. Liquiritigenin has been isolated and identified from Sargassum pallidum. To find new anti-Alzheimer's activity, we designed and synthesized thirty-two 7-prenyloxy-2,3-dihydroflavanone derivatives (3a-3p) and 5-hydroxy-7-prenyloxy-2,3-dihydro-flavanone derivatives (4a-4p) as cholinesterases inhibitors based on liquiritigenin as the lead compound. Inhibition screening against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) indicated that all synthesized compounds possessed potent AChE inhibitory activity and moderated to weak BuChE inhibitory activity in vitro. Kinetic studies demonstrated that compound 4o inhibited AChE via a dual binding site ability. In addition, all compounds displayed the radical scavenging effects. Finally, the molecular docking simulation of 4o in AChE active site displayed good agreement with the obtained the pharmacological results.

Synthesis and antidiabetic activity of 5,7-dihydroxyflavonoids and analogs

In a study to evaluate the structural elements essential for the antidiabetic activity of flavonoids, we synthesized two series of flavonoids, 5,7-dihydroxyflavanones and 5,7-dihydroxyflavones. In a screening for potential antidiabetic activity, most of the flavonoids showed a remarkable in vitro activity, and compounds 1f, 2d, and 3c were significantly more effective than the positive control, metformin. The biological activity was mainly affected by structural modification at the ring B moiety of the flavonoid skeleton. The results suggest that 5,7-dihydroxyflavonoids can be considered as promising candidates in the development of new antidiabetic lead compounds. Copyright

Synthesis and studies on antidepressant effect of 5,7-Dihydroxyflavanone derivatives

A series of 5,7-dihydroxyflavanone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated their antidepressant activities. The results showed that of nine compounds significantly reduced times during the forced swimming test at a dose of 10 mg/kg, indicative of antidepressant activity. Among the compounds, 4o (4'-methoxy-5,7,3'-trihydroxyflavanone) was found to be the most potent and it was observed that the compound 4o at dose of 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg significantly reduced the duration of immobility times in the Forced swimming test in mice 0.5 h after treatment.

SYNTHESIS OF INHIBITORS OF FTSZ

FtsZ, the bacterial analog of tubulin, is a promising new target for developing new antibiotics. It has been shown that polyphenols inhibit the GTPase activity of FtsZ, thereby inhibiting Z-ring formation during mitosis. The present invention provides novel polyphenols compounds, which can be accessed by the synthesis of dichamametin and 2"'-hydroxy-5"-benzylisouvarinol-B as described herein. These novel compounds are useful in treating infections, particularly infections caused by gram-positive organisms. Methods of preparing the inventive compounds are also provided. The compounds are prepared by the benzylation of pinocembrin or chrysin core structure. Pharmaceutical compositions and method of using the compounds to treat disease are also provided. These compounds may be screened for antimicrobial activity as well as other biological activities such as anti-neoplastic, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and cytotoxic activity.

Synthesis of antimicrobial natural products targeting FtsZ: (±)-dichamanetin and (±)-2?-hydroxy-5″- benzylisouvarinol-B

(Chemical Equation Presented) Two natural products have been synthesized using a ZnCl2-mediated benzylic coupling reaction. Both are potent inhibitors of the GTPase activity of FtsZ, a highly conserved protein that is essential for bacterial cytokinesis.
