- Design, synthesis, and carbonic anhydrase inhibition activity of benzenesulfonamide-linked novel pyrazoline derivatives
-
Carbonic anhydrases (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) are Zinc metalloenzymes and are present throughout most living organisms. Among the catalytically active isoforms are the cytosolic CA I and II, and tumor-associated CA IX and CA XII. The carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory activities of newly synthesized pyrazoline-linked benzenesulfonamides 18–33 against human CA (hCA) isoforms I, II, IX, and XII were measured and compared with that of acetazolamide (AAZ), a standard inhibitor. Potent inhibitory activity against hCA I was exerted by compounds 18–25, with inhibition constant (KI) values of 87.8–244.1 nM, which were greater than that of AAZ (KI, 250.0 nM). Compounds 19, 21, 22, 29, 30, and 32 were proven to have inhibitory activities against hCA IX with KI values (5.5–37.0 nM) that were more effective than or nearly equal to that of AAZ (KI, 25.0 nM). Compounds 20–22, and 30 exerted potent inhibitory activities (KIs, 7.1–10.1 nM) against hCA XII, in comparison with AAZ (KI, 5.7 nM).

- 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.

- The synthesis of 4,6-diaryl-2-pyridones and their bioactivation in CYP1 expressing breast cancer cells
-
As part of a programme to develop anticancer prodrugs which are activated by cytochrome P450 (CYP)1B1, a library of 4,6-diaryl-2-pyridones was synthesised in yields of 6–60% from the corresponding chalcones. A number of these derivatives showed promising antiproliferative activities in human breast cancer cell lines which express CYP1B1 and CYP1A1, while showing little toxicity towards a non-tumour breast cell line with no CYP expression. Metabolism studies provided evidence supporting the involvement of CYP1 enzymes in the bioactivation of these compounds.

- The synthesis of chalcones as anticancer prodrugs and their bioactivation in CYP1 expressing breast cancer cells
-
Background: Although the expression levels of many P450s differ between tumour and corresponding normal tissue, CYP1B1 is one of the few CYP subfamilies which is significantly and consistently overexpressed in tumours. CYP1B1 has been shown to be active within tumours and is capable of metabolising a structurally diverse range of anticancer drugs. Because of this, and its role in the activation of procarcinogens, CYP1B1 is seen as an important target for anticancer drug development. Objective: To synthesise a series of chalcone derivatives based on the chemopreventative agent DMU-135 and investigate their antiproliferative activities in human breast cancer cell lines which express CYP1B1 and CYP1A1. Method: A series of chalcones were synthesised in yields of 43-94% using the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. These were screened using a MTT assay against a panel of breast cancer cell lines which have been characterised for CYP1 expression. Result: A number of derivatives showed promising antiproliferative activities in human breast cancer cell lines which express CYP1B1 and CYP1A1, while showing significantly lower toxicity towards a non-tumour breast cell line with no CYP expression. Experiments using the CYP1 inhibitors acacetin and α-naphthoflavone provided supporting evidence for the involvement of CYP1 enzymes in the bioactivation of these compounds. Conclusion: Chalcones show promise as anticancer agents with evidence suggesting that CYP1 activation of these compounds may be involved.

- Opening or closing the lock? when reactivity is the key to biological activity
-
Thiol-mediated processes play a key role to induce or inhibit inflammation proteins. Tailoring the reactivity of electrophiles can enhance the selectivity to address only certain surface cysteines. Fourteen 2',3,4,4'- tetramethoxychalcones with different α-X substituents (X=H, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, Me, p-NO2-C6H4, Ph, p-OMe-C 6H4, NO2, CF3, COOEt, COOH) were synthesized, containing the potentially electrophilic α,β-unsaturated carbonyl unit. The assessment of their reactivity as electrophiles in thia-Michael additions with cysteamine shows a change in the reactivity of more than six orders of magnitude. Moreover, a clear correlation between their reactivity and an influence on the inflammation proteins heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is demonstrated. As the biologically most active compound, the α-CF3-chalcone is shown to inhibit the NO production in RAW264.7 mouse macrophages in the nanomolar range. More than a million by only one substituent: The direct manipulation of the chemical reactivity of electrophilic agents could be proven for chalcones by simply exchanging the α-hydrogen atom of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl unit with different substituents (X), leading to a change in reactivity of more than six orders of magnitude for thia-Michael additions with cysteamine, which correlates very well with two electrophile-sensitive biological readouts (see scheme).

- Reactivity assessment of chalcones by a kinetic thiol assay
-
The electrophilic nature of chalcones (1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-ones) and many other α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is crucial for their biological activity, which is often based on thiol-mediated regulation processes. To better predict their biological activity a simple screening assay for the assessment of the second-order rate constants (k2) in thia-Michael additions was developed. Hence, a clear structure-activity relationship of 16 differentially decorated hydroxy-alkoxychalcones upon addition of cysteamine could be established. Moreover, amongst other naturally occurring α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds k2 values for curcumin and cinnamaldehyde were gained while cinnamic acids or esters gave no or very slow reactions.

- Investigation of chalcones and benzochalcones as inhibitors of breast cancer resistance protein
-
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) belongs to the ATP binding cassette family of transport proteins. BCRP has been found to confer multidrug resistance in cancer cells. A strategy to overcome resistance due to BCRP overexpression is the investigation of potent and specific BCRP inhibitors. The aim of the current study was to investigate different multi-substituted chalcones for their BCRP inhibition. We synthesized chalcones and benzochalcones with different substituents (viz. OH, OCH3, Cl) on ring A and B of the chalcone structure. All synthesized compounds were tested by Hoechst 33342 accumulation assay to determine inhibitory activity in MCF-7 MX and MDCK cells expressing BCRP. The compounds were also screened for their P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) inhibitory activity in the calcein AM accumulation assay and were found to be selective towards inhibition of BCRP. Substituents at position 2′ and 4′ on chalcone ring A were found to be essential for activity; additionally there was a great influence of substituents on ring B. Presence of 3,4-dimethoxy substitution on ring B was found to be optimal, while presence of 2- and 4-chloro substitution also showed a positive effect on BCRP inhibition.
