A bioactive component, 2′,3,4,4′-tetrahydrochalcone (RY3-a) was first isolated from Vernohia anthelmintica (L.) willd seeds, and a set of its analogs, RY3-a-1–RY3-a-15 and RY3-c were designed and synthesized. Biological activity assays showed that RY3-c exhibited better melanogenesis and antioxidant activity and lower toxicity in comparison with RY3-a and butin. Further study tests showed that RY3-c exhibited better melanogenesis activity compared with the positive control 8-methoxypsoralan (8-MOP) in a vitiligo mouse model, suggesting that RY3-c is a good candidate antivitiligo agent. Mechanistic studies showed that RY3-c could repair cell damage induced by excessive oxidative stress and may exert melanin synthesis activity in the mouse melanoma B16F10 cell line by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and the upregulation of c-kit.

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.

In this study, twenty 3,5-diaryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole derivatives with hydroxyl(s) (1a-1p, 2a-2d) were synthesized and their inhibitory activity on mushroom tyrosinase was examined. The results showed that among these compounds, 1-(5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) ethanone 1d was found to be the most potent tyrosinase inhibitor with IC 50 value of 0.301 μM. Kinetic study revealed that these compounds were competitive inhibitors of tyrosinase and their structure-activity relationships were investigated in this article.

A set of polyphenol compounds was synthesized and assayed for their ability in inhibiting influenza A virus replication. A sub-set of them showed low toxicity. The best compounds within this sub-set were 4 and 6g, which inhibited the viral replication in a dose-dependent manner. The antiviral activity of these molecules was demonstrated to be caused by their interference with intracellular pathways exploited for viral replication: (1) MAP kinases controlling nuclear-cytoplasmic traffic of viral ribonucleoprotein complex; (2) redox-sensitive pathways, involved in maturation of viral hemagglutinin protein.
