- 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.

- Synthesis and antiviral activity of 2-aryl-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives against Chikungunya virus
-
A series of nineteen 2-aryl-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives 2a-2s were synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activity against Chikungunya virus (LR2006-OPY1) in Vero cell culture by CPE reduction assay. Three compounds 2a, 2b and 2g, were found to be active at concentration of (IC50) 0.44 μM, 0.45 μM and 2.02 μM, respectively. Compounds having heterocyclic ring 2a and 2b at the 2nd position of the chromenone were found to be potent inhibitor of ChikV. Cytotoxicity studies were performed using Vero cell culture, compounds 2a and 2b exhibited SI of ≥100. Molecular docking simulation has been carried out to understand the possible mechanism of action.

- Monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity of 2-aryl-4H-chromen-4-ones
-
A series of twenty 2-aryl-4H-chromen-4-one (flavones) derivatives (3a-3s) were synthesized and tested for hMAO inhibitory activity. Fifteen compounds (3a, 3c, 3e-3h, 3j-3p, 3r, 3s) were found to be selective towards MAO-B, while 3d was selective towards MAO-A, and 3b, 3i and 3q were non-selective. Experimental Selectivity Index for MAO-B ranges from 2.0 (3g, 3p) to 30.0 (3j). Compound 3j, which is carrying 3,4-di-OMeC6H3 groups at R position on the molecule, was found to be potent MAO-B inhibitor amongst the fifteen with Ki value for MAO-B of 0.16 ± 0.01 lM comparable to that of standard drug, Selegiline (Ki for MAO-B is 0.16 ± 0.01 μM). Compound 3j also appeared as the most selective MAO-B inhibitor according to its best selectivity index (30.0), which is comparable to that of Selegiline (SIMAO-B = 35.0). Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies were carried out using Autodock-4.0 and Amber12 to understand the molecular level interaction and energy relation of MAO isoforms with selective inhibitors (3d and 3j). Simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Leads identified may further be explored to develop potent isoform specific inhibitors of MAO.

- Asymmetric ion-pairing catalysis of the reversible cyclization of 2'-hydroxychalcone to flavanone: Asymmetric catalysis of an equilibrating reaction
-
The asymmetric catalytic cyclization of the simple 2'-hydroxychalcone (1) to flavanone (2), a model for the chalcone isomerase reaction, has been realized as a catalytic asymmetric ion-pairing process with chiral quaternary ammonium salts (e.g., 9-anthracenylmethlycinchoninium chloride; 9-Am-CN-Cl) and NaH as small-molecule co-catalyst. In toluene/CHCl3 solution, the process reaches an intrinsic enantioselectivity of up to S = 14.4 (er = 93.5:6.5). The reversible reaction proceeds in two steps: A fast initial reaction approaches a quasi-equilibrium with KR/S = 4.5, followed by a second, slow racemization phase approaching Krac = 9. A simple mechanistic model featuring a living ion-pairing catalysis with full reversibility is proposed. Deuterium transfer from co-solvent CDCl3 to product 2 and isolation of a Michael conjugate formed from 2 and 1 demonstrate the intermediacy of flavanone enolate ion pairs. A kinetic model shows good agreement with the experimentally observed, peculiar, time-dependent evolution of the species concentrations and the enantiomeric excess of 2. The reaction is a chemical model of the chalcone isomerase enzymatic reaction. Furthermore, it is an ideal model for studying the characteristic behavior of reversible asymmetric catalyses close to their equilibria.
