- 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 hplc-ecd study of cytostatic condensed o,n-heterocycles obtained from 3-aminoflavanones
-
Racemic chiral O,N-heterocycles containing 2-arylchroman or 2-aryl-2H-chromene subunit condensed with morpholine, thiazole, or pyrrole moieties at the C-3-C-4 bond were synthesized with various substitution patterns of the aryl group by the cyclization of cis- or trans-3- aminoflavanone analogues. The 3-aminoflavanone precursors were obtained in a Neber rearrangement of oxime tosylates of flavanones, which provided the trans diastereomer as the major product and enabled the isolation of both the cis- and trans-diastereomers. The cis- and transaminoflavanones were utilized to prepare three diastereomers of 5-aryl-chromeno[4,3- b][1,4]oxazines. Antiproliferative activity of the condensed heterocycles and precursors was evaluated against A2780 and WM35 cancer cell lines. For a 3-(N-chloroacetylamino)-flavan-4-ol derivative, showing structural analogy with acyclic acid ceramidase inhibitors, 0.15 μM, 3.50 μM, and 6.06 μM IC50 values were measured against A2780, WM35, and HaCat cell lines, and apoptotic mechanism was confirmed. Low micromolar IC50 values down to 2.14 μM were identified for the thiazole- and pyrrole-condensed 2H-chromene derivatives. Enantiomers of the condensed heterocycles were separated by HPLC using chiral stationary phase, HPLC-ECD spectra were recorded and TDDFT-ECD calculations were performed to determine the absolute configuration and solution conformation. Characteristic ECD transitions of the separated enantiomers were correlated with the absolute configuration and effect of substitution pattern on the HPLC elution order was determined.

- Discovery of a Prenylated Flavonol Derivative as a Pin1 Inhibitor to Suppress Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Modulating MicroRNA Biogenesis
-
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase Pin1 plays a crucial role in the development of human cancers. Recently, we have disclosed that Pin1 regulates the biogenesis of miRNA, which is aberrantly expressed in HCC and promotes HCC progression, indicating the therapeutic role of Pin1 in HCC therapy. Here, 7-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dihydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one (AF-39) was identified as a novel Pin1 inhibitor. Biochemical tests indicate that AF-39 potently inhibits Pin1 activity with an IC50 values of 1.008 μm, and also displays high selectivity for Pin1 among peptidyl prolyl isomerases. Furthermore, AF-39 significantly suppresses cell proliferation of HCC cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mechanistically, AF-39 regulates the subcellular distribution of XPO5 and increases miRNAs biogenesis in HCC cells. This work provides a promising lead compound for HCC treatment, highlighting the therapeutic potential of miRNA-based therapy against human cancer.

- Water-mediated phosphorylative cyclodehydrogenation: An efficient preparation of flavones and flavanones
-
A new synthetic strategy utilizing POCl3-water for the conversion of 2′-hydroxychalcones to flavanones and flavones has been developed. The reagent efficiently promoted one-pot conversion of 2′-hydroxychalcones to flavones through flavanones involving cyclization and oxidative dehydrogenation. By changing the stoichiometery of the reagents, the reaction can be tuned to generate either flavanone or flavone. The developed protocol was found to be applicable for a variety of 2′-hydroxychalcones.

- Synthesis, crystal structure and antitumour activity evaluation of 1H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one derivatives
-
A series of 1H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one derivatives were synthesised through Knoevenagel condensation of substituted flavanones with thiazolidine-2,4-dione in ethanol in the presence of piperidine. The mechanism of the reaction was proposed. All synthesised compounds were characterised by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and elemental analysis. The structure of 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-1H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one was confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. A preliminary antitumour screening showed that 2-(2-fluorophenyl)-1H-thieno [2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one had moderate to good activity against A549, BGC-823, HCT116 and MDA-MB-453 cancer cell lines, and 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1H-thieno[2,3-c]chromen-4(2H)-one displayed similar activity against these four kinds of cancer cells compared with the reference drug.

- Synthesis of flavanones using methane sulphonic acid as a greencatalystand comparision under different conditions
-
Flavonoids are an important class of natural products with wide range activities. Flavonoids includes flavone, flavanone, flavane & flavanol. The synthetic route invovles synthesis of chalcone followed by ring closing to give flavanone. So many catalysts were mentioned in past literature. But most efficient catalyst is methane sulphonic acid.It is easy to handle,less reaction time &easily available. Flavanones were synthesized from chalcone using methane sulphonic acid under thermal condition, microw wave and ultrasound condition.Flavanones are syntheisized in very less time compared to other conditions.

- Silica supported-double metal cyanides (DMCs): A green and highly efficient catalytic protocol for isomerisation of 2′-hydroxychalcones to flavanones
-
Four different double metal cyanides (NiHCFe, CrHCFe, MnHCFe and ZnHCFe) were synthesized, followed by adsorbed on silica gel and used as Lewis acid catalyst in the isomerisation of substituted 2′-hydroxychalcones to flavanones under solvent-free (dry) condition. Optimization of the reaction condition, temperature effects, DMC catalysts loading and re-useable catalytic activity were further studied during the reaction. Among these catalysts, NiHCFe at 35 mol% loading gave excellent yield (90%) at 100 C temperature in 1.15 h. Catalyst (NiHCFe) easily recovered and re-used six times without much loss of its catalytic activity which gave 80-85% product yields each time. However, these DMCs were failed to give product in the solution phase even prolonging the reaction time at reflux temperature. Similarly, isomerization of substituted 2′-aminochalcones gave 2-5% yields either in solution phase or under solvent-free condition.

The remarkable catalytic effects of Fe(OTf)3 in the context of the Pd(ii)-catalyzed conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to chromones were observed to yield a variety of flavanones under mild conditions. The addition of catalytic amounts of DDQ and KNO2 to the reactions exclusively yielded flavone analogs. The reaction scope for the transformation was fairly broad, affording good yields of a wide range of flavanones and flavones, which are privileged structures in many biologically active compounds.

- Synthetic chalcones, flavanones, and flavones as antitumoral agents: Biological evaluation and structure-activity relationships
-
A series of synthetic chalcones, flavanones, and flavones has been synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against the human kidney carcinoma cells TK-10, human mammary adenocarcinoma cells MCF-7 (estrogen receptor-positive), and human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT-29. The most active series is the chalcone ones with the best results against TK-10 and HT-29 cells. Fourteen out of 53 analyzed compounds resulted very active against at least two of the studied tumoral cells. Alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis, comet assay, was performed as a study of the chromosomal aberrations promoted by the compounds on normal cells. Four active and two inactive chalcones were studied in the comet assay against normal human kidney cells (HK-2). A structure-activity relationship analysis of these compounds was performed and for 4- and 3,4-disubstituted derivatives a quantitative correlation was obtained in the case of anti-HT-29 activity.

Irradiation of 2'-hydroxychalcones (3) with UV-visible light in the presence of heterocycle N-oxides such as pyrimidopteridine N-oxide (I) results in the formation of the corresponding flavones (4) and flavanones (5).The photooxidative cyclisation of (3) induced by (1) to give (4) most efficiently occurred among the heterocycle N-oxides examined and could be reasonably explained by considering an initial single-electron oxidation of (3) by (1) under the photochemical conditions and subsequent intramolecular cyclisation.
