Exploitation of new chalcones and 4H-chromenes as agents for cancer treatment

Chalcone and chromene derivatives were synthesized in good yield through simple and effective reactions using innocuous solvents such as water and ethanol and high yielding aldol condensations. Generally, the reactions were performed at room temperature, leading to the isolation of highly pure compounds. These compounds were tested on breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and Hs578T) and breast non-neoplastic cells (MCF-10A). After determination of IC50 value, specific assays were performed to analyze the potential of these compounds, and those bearing halogenated substituents presented enhanced activity comparing to methoxyl or methyl groups. More specifically, the bromine atom was often present in the bioactive molecules that proceeded to the final assays and showed to be promising candidates for further studies. The selected chromene acted as a cell migration inhibitory agent and triggered regulated cell death associated with G2/M cell-arrest and microtubule destabilization. For chalcones, the results suggest an anti-proliferative activity. Also, results for combination-therapy potentiated the antitumor effect of doxorubicin and reduced cytotoxicity in MCF-10A cells.

Organocatalyzed michael-michael cascade reaction: Asymmetric synthesis of polysubstituted chromans

An enantioselective cascade Michael-Michael reaction between chalcones enolates and nitromethane catalyzed by a bifunctional thiourea is developed. This reaction provides a mild but efficient approach to chiral benzopyrans bearing three consecutive stereocenters in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities, and the benzopyrans can be easily transformed to the corresponding tricyclic product.

Synthesis, biological evaluation of novel 4,5-dihydro-2H-pyrazole 2-hydroxyphenyl derivatives as BRAF inhibitors

A series of novel 4,5-dihydropyrazole derivatives (3a-3t) containing hydroxyphenyl moiety as potential V600E mutant BRAF kinase (BRAF V600E) inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Docking simulation was performed to insert compounds 3d (1-(5-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(p- tolyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethanone) and 3m (1-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(3, 5-dibromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethanone) into the crystal structure of BRAFV600E to determine the probable binding model, respectively. Based on the preliminary results, compound 3d and 3m with potent inhibitory activity in tumor growth may be a potential anticancer agent. Results of the bioassays against BRAFV600E, MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line and WM266.4 human melanoma cell line all showed several compounds had potent activities IC50 value in low micromolar range, among them, compound 3d and compound 3m showed strong potent anticancer activity, which were proved by that 3d: IC50 = 1.31 μM for MCF-7 and IC50 = 0.45 μM for WM266.5, IC50 = 0.22 μM for BRAFV600E, 3m: IC50 = 0.97 μM for MCF-7 and IC50 = 0.72 μM for WM266.5, IC50 = 0.46 μM for BRAFV600E, which were comparable with the positive control Erlotinib.
