- Synthesis of lithium/cesium-Zagronas from zagrosian natural asphalt and study of their activity as novel, green, heterogeneous and homogeneous nanocatalysts in the Claisen–Schmidt and Knoevenagel condensations
-
A novel, heterogeneous and homogeneous basic nanocatalysts were synthesized by grafting of lithium and cesium on zagrosian natural asphalt sulfonate (Li/Cs-Zagronas). The activity of these catalysts was examined in the Claisen–Schmidt and Knoevenagel condensations under mild reaction conditions. Li/Cs-Zagronas were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. These nanocatalysts were removed by simple filtration and reused several times without any deterioration of activity.

- Synthesis, characterization, molecular docking and in vitro anticancer activity of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-substituted phenyl-2-pyrazoline-1-carbothioamide
-
In the present study, eight numbers of new 3-(4-methoxy phenyl)-5-substituted phenyl-2-pyrazoline-1-carbothioamide (5a-h) have been synthesized from 1-(4-methoxy phenyl)-3-(substituted phenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (3a-h) and structurally characterized by using FT-IR,1H NMR,13C NMR, Mass and Elemental analysis. The synthesized molecules were biologically eval-uated for their in vitro anticancer activity against human breast adenocar-cinoma (MCF-7), liver cancer (Hep-G2) and leukaemia cancer (K-562) cell line using Sulforhodamine B (SRB) bioassay technique. From the all synthesized compounds 5a, 5c, 5d, and 5e exhibited potent anticancer activity (GI50= 50=44.5μg/ml) and Adriamycin (ADR) (GI50= 10μg/ml) on MCF-7 cell lines. Besides this, all the synthesized compounds have exhibited moderate activity against human liver cancer (Hep-G2) and leukaemia cancer (K-562) cell lines. In addition, molecular docking studies were also explored in order to study the probable binding specificity into the active site of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR) (PDB ID: 1M17) using Molegro Virtual Docker Evaluation 2013 6.0.1 (MVD). Based on the molecular docking result, it was found that compound 5a exhibited the best interaction with the above target (i.e., EGFR) by interacting with specific amino acid residues such as: Thr 766, Gin 767, Thr 830, Cys 575, Ala 719 and Met 769.

- Alkene Synthesis by Photo-Wolff-Kischner Reaction of Sulfur Ylides and N-Tosylhydrazones
-
A visible-light-driven and room temperature photo-Wolff-Kischner reaction of sulfur ylides and N-tosylhydrazones has been developed for the first time to provide modular access to alkene synthesis. The high functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope were demonstrated by more than 60 examples. Both E- and Z-olefinic stereochemistry in the products could be controlled with excellent stereoselectivity. A series of mechanistic studies support that the reaction should proceed through a radical-carbanion crossover pathway, specifically involving addition of photo-generated sulfur ylide radical cations to N-tosylhydrazones to form carbanions and subsequent Wolff-Kischner process.

- Biocatalytic green alternative to existing hazardous reaction media: Synthesis of chalcone and flavone derivatives via the Claisen-Schmidt reaction at room temperature
-
Owing to the increasing amount of waste materials around the globe, the conversion of waste or secondary by-products to value-added products for various applications has gained significant interest. Herein, two novel agro-food waste products, Musa sp. 'Malbhog' peel ash (MMPA) and Musa Champa Hort. ex Hook. F. peel ash (MCPA) are used as catalysts to promote an inexpensive, efficient and eco-friendly carbon-carbon bond forming crossed aldol reaction at room temperature in solvent free conditions. Furthermore, the resulting products were subjected to reactions with these promoters in an oxygen atmosphere and led to the formation of novel flavone derivatives. Moreover, the used catalysts were properly characterized using different sophisticated analytical techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transition electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) along with element detection using atomic absorption spectroscopy and ion chromatographic methods. These two approaches are metal free, as well as being devoid of any extra additives, co-catalysts, harsh conditions, the use of column chromatography for purification and result in a higher yield of the product within a short space of time. The catalytic abilities of the promoter were also examined to synthesize important bioactive molecules such as butein and apigenin at room temperature. With gram scale synthesis of the chalcone derivatives, the used catalysts (MMPA and MCPA) were further reused for five cycles and did not demonstrate any loss in catalytic activity.

- Antiproliferative effects of chalcones on T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-derived cells: Role of PKCβ
-
In this study, a series of 20 chalcone derivatives was synthesized, and their antiproliferative activity was tested against the human T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia-derived cell line, CCRF-CEM. On the basis of the structural features of the most active compounds, a new library of chalcone derivatives, according to the structure–activity relationship design, was synthesized, and their antiproliferative activity was tested against the same cancer cell line. Furthermore, four of these derivatives (compounds 3, 4, 8, 28), based on lower IC50 values (between 6.1 and 8.9 μM), were selected for further investigation regarding the modulation of the protein expression of RACK1 (receptor for activated C kinase), protein kinase C (PKC)α and PKCβ, and their action on the cell cycle level. The cell cycle analysis indicated a block in the G0/G1 phase for all four compounds, with a statistically significant decrease in the percentage of cells in the S phase, with no indication of apoptosis (sub-G0/G1 phase). Compounds 4 and 8 showed a statistically significant reduction in the expression of PKCα and an increase in PKCβ, which together with the demonstration of an antiproliferative role of PKCβ, as assessed by treating cells with a selective PKCβ activator, indicated that the observed antiproliferative effect is likely to be mediated through PKCβ induction.

New dithiocarbamate chalcone-based derivatives were synthesized, their structures were elucidated using different spectroscopic techniques. They were subjected to antimicrobial screening against selected Gram negative bacteria focusing on microbial resistance. Bacterial resistance was targeted via phosphoethanolamine transferase enzyme. Most of the synthesized compounds showed equal or higher activity to colistin standard. Compound 24 proved to be the most active candidate with MIC of 8 μg/ml against both Ps12 and K4 and MBC of 32 μg/ml against Ps12 and 16 μg/ml against K4 Molecular docking study showed that 20, 22, 24 and 25 had good binding affinity with active site residues via Thr280. DNA macromolecule was further targeted. Compounds 28 and 34 were recorded to have better DNA binding than doxurubucin with IC50 of 27.48 and 30.97 μg/ml respectively, suggesting that it could have a role in their higher antibacterial effect. Their docking into DNA has shown a clear intercalation matching with antibacterial data. Pharmacokinetics parameters of active compounds showed that they have better absorption through GIT.

- Rh(II)-Catalyzed Nitrene-Transfer [5 + 1] Cycloadditions of Aryl-Substituted Vinylcyclopropanes
-
Formal [5 + 1] cycloadditions between aryl-substituted vinylcyclopropanes and nitrenoid precursors are reported. The method, which employs Rh2(esp)2 as a catalyst, leads to the highly regioselective formation of substituted tetrahydropyridines. Preliminary mechanistic studies support a stepwise, polar mechanism enabled by the previously observed Lewis acidity of Rh-nitrenoids. Overall, this work expands the application of nitrene-transfer cycloaddition, a relatively underexplored approach to heterocycle synthesis, to the formation of six-membered rings.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of polyphenols with 4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2-amine derivatives for inhibition of Aurora kinase A
-
Background: Several 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-amine derivatives show anticancer properties. However, their mode of action is not fully characterized. To develop potent anticancer chemotherapeutic agents, we designed and synthesized 25 4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2-amine derivatives containing a guanidine moiety. Methods: Clonogenic long-term survival assays were performed to screen anticancer compounds. To derive the structural conditions showing good cytotoxicities against cancer cells, quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) were calculated. Biological activities were determined by flow cytometry for cell cycle analysis and by immunoblot analysis for the detection of Aurora kinase A (AURKA) activity. Because 2-(2-Amino-6-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl) phenol (derivative 12) selectively inhibited AURKA activity from the kinome assay, in silico docking experiments were performed to elucidate the molecular binding mode between derivative 12 and AURKA. Results: The pharmacophores were derived based on the QSAR calculations. Derivative 12 inhibited AURKA activity and reduced phosphorylation of AURKA at Thr283 in HCT116 human colon cancer cells. Derivative 12 caused the accumulation of the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and triggered the cleavages of caspase-3, caspase ?7, and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. The binding energies of 30 apo-AURKA – derivative 12 complexes obtained from in silico docking ranged from ?16.72 to ?11.63 kcal/mol. Conclusions: Derivative 12 is an AURKA inhibitor, which reduces clonogenicity, arrests the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, and induces caspase-mediated apoptotic cell death in HCT116 human colon cancer cells. In silico docking demonstrated that derivative 12 binds to AURKA well. The structure-activity relationship calculations showed hydrophobic substituents and 1-naphthalenyl group at the R2 position increased the activity. The existence of an H-bond acceptor at C-2 of the R1 position increased the activity, too.

- An improved, efficient and microwave assisted synthetic method for the synthesis of chalcone oximes: An experimental and computational study
-
Chalcone oximes are important molecules in organic chemistry. Extant literature contains several methods for conversion of chalcones to their oxime forms but rapid and efficient new methods need to be developed. In this study; we have investigated a new, microwave assisted synthetic method for conversion of chalcones to their oxime forms. For this purpose, a series of known chalcones were synthesized and converted to their oxime forms employing the method being examined. The results show that the proposed method is efficient, providing time and energy savings. In the second part of our study, DFT calculations with B3LYP method have been performed on the synthesized molecules and computational results have been compared with the experimentally obtained data. All DFT calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31G(d), B3LYP/6-311G(d, p) and B3LYP/6-311+G(2d, p) levels of theory. NMR calculations were carried out using GIAO and CSGT methods. Additionally, MEP maps, FMOs, some global reactivity descriptors and Mulliken atomic charges for the synthesized compounds were computationally determined with the same basis sets.

- Design, synthesis and bioactivity of chalcones and its analogues
-
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.

- Monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity of methoxy-substituted chalcones
-
The MAO-B inhibitory activity of chalcone (1, 3- diphenyl-2-propen-1-one) based compounds arise from its structural similarity with 1, 4-diphenyl-2-butene, a known MAO-B inhibitor. Based on our previous report, the methoxy-substituted with fluorine containing chalcones are promising reversible MAO-B inhibitors, while in the present study, a series of methoxylated chalcones (C1-C9) bearing substitution on the para position of ring B was synthesized and evaluated for their human monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity. With the exception of (2E)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (C7), which is a nonselective inhibitor, the chalcones exhibited competitive, selective, and reversible inhibition of hMAO-B. The most potent compound, (2E)-3-[4-(dimethylamino) phenyl]-1-(4-methoxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (C5), showed the best inhibitory activity towards hMAO-B (IC50 = 0.29 ± 0.011 μM; Ki = 0.14 ± 0.001 μM). The reversibility of MAO-B inhibition by compound C5 was demonstrated by the recovery of enzyme activity after dialysis of mixtures containing enzyme and inhibitor. The reversiblity of C5 was 25.38 ± 1.40 and 92.00 ± 3.87% before and after dialysis, respectively. PAMPA was carried out to evaluate the blood-brain barrier effects of the designated compounds. Moreover, the most potent MAO-B inhibitor, C5, was found to be nontoxic towards cultured hepatic cells at 5 and 25 μM, with 97 and 90% viability. Molecular docking study was performed against hMAO-B to observe the binding site interactions of the lead compound.

Chalcones, as the key intermedi- ates, were obtained by the condensation of each of appropriately substituted aromatic aldehydes (1~4) with 4-substituted acetophenones (5a~5f) via a Claisen-Schmidt reaction under the action of microwave irradiation. Cyclization of the chalcones (6a~6f, 7a~7f, 8a~8f, 9a~9f) with p-toluene sulfonhydrazide af- forded 1,3,5-trisubstitued pyrazoline derivatives using microwave-assisted process in 25 min and 140 watt power in glycol. The structures of targeted compounds were established by IR, 1H NMR, MS and ele- mental analysis. The results indicate that microwave-assisted synthetic process presents advantages in terms of enhancement in rate, decrease in reaction time, clean reaction and convenient operation.

Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited promising antiproliferative activities especially compound 8k with IC50values of 8.33, 1.67 and 10?μM against HepG-2, MCF-7 and CaCo-2 cancer cell lines, respectively. Moreover, their antiproliferative activity was due to apoptosis rather than necrosis induction except compound 8h which exhibited equal apoptotic and necrotic properties. Compound 8k showed 5 fold increase in caspase-3 activity indicating that the apoptosis proceeds via caspase-3 activation.

- Synthesis of some novel 5,7-disubstituted-2-phenyl-5H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo [3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives and evaluation of their biological activity
-
Background: In the present study, a series of 5,7-disubstituted-2-phenyl-5H-[1,3,4] thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives have been reported. The title compounds were synthesized by the reaction of substituted chalcones with 5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine in n-butanol. Methods: All reactions were performed at reflux temperature and the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR and Mass spectroscopic techniques. Results: The synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The compounds displayed significant antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Additionally, the selected compounds were screened for in silico molecular docking studies. Conclusion: In the present work, we have reported an efficient method for the synthesis of some new 5,7-disubstituted-2-phenyl-5H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives. Collectively, all the current computational insights support the in vitro observations seen for antimicrobial and antioxidant agents. Further, the pyrimidine derivatives might act as potential specific inhibitors of G6P synthase thereby facilitating its biological activities. From the activity results, it has been concluded that among the studied compounds, compounds 5b, 5d, 5e, 5g, 5i, 5m and 5n could serve as potential antimicrobial and antioxidant agents.

- Antimicrobial activity of xanthohumol and its selected structural analogues
-
The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of structural analogues of xanthohumol 1, a flavonoid compound found in hops (Humulus lupulus). The agar-diffusion method using filter paper disks was applied. Biological tests performed for selected strains of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria, fungi (Alternaria sp.), and yeasts (Rhodotorula rubra, Candida albicans) revealed that compounds with at least one hydroxyl group - all of them have it at the C-4 position - demonstrated good activity. Our research showed that the strain S. aureus was more sensitive to chalcones than to the isomers in which the heterocyclic ring C is closed (flavanones). The strain R. rubra was moderately sensitive to only one compound: 4-hydroxy-4′-methoxychalcone 8. Loss of the hydroxyl group in the B-ring of 4′-methoxychalcones or its replacement by a halogen atom (-Cl, -Br), nitro group (-NO2), ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3), or aliphatic substituent (-CH3, -CH2CH3) resulted in the loss of antimicrobial activity towards both R. rubra yeast and S. aureus bacteria. Xanthohumol 1, naringenin 5, and chalconaringenin 7 inhibited growth of S. aureus, whereas 4-hydroxy-4′-methoxychalcone 8 was active towards two strains: S. aureus and R. rubra.

- Antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of substituted chalcones focusing on an anti-tuberculosis dual treatment approach
-
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious public health problem aggravated by the emergence of M. tuberculosis (Mtb) strains resistant to multiple drugs (MDR). Delay in TB treatment, common in the MDR-TB cases, can lead to deleterious life-threatening inflammation in susceptible hyper-reactive individuals, encouraging the discovery of new anti-Mtb drugs and the use of adjunctive therapy based on anti-inflammatory interventions. In this study, a series of forty synthetic chalcones was evaluated in vitro for their anti-inflammatory and antimycobacterial properties and in silico for pharmacokinetic parameters. Seven compounds strongly inhibited NO and PGE2 production by LPS-stimulated macrophages through the specific inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 expression, respectively, with compounds 4 and 5 standing out in this respect. Four of the seven most active compounds were able to inhibit production of TNF-α and IL-1β. Chalcones that were not toxic to cultured macrophages were tested for antimycobacterial activity. Eight compounds were able to inhibit growth of the M. bovis BCG and Mtb H37Rv strains in bacterial cultures and in infected macrophages. Four of them, including compounds 4 and 5, were active against a hypervirulent clinical Mtb isolate as well. In silico analysis of ADMET properties showed that the evaluated chalcones displayed satisfactory pharmacokinetic parameters. In conclusion, the obtained data demonstrate that at least two of the studied chalcones, compounds 4 and 5, are promising antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory agents, especially focusing on an anti-tuberculosis dual treatment approach.

- 4-Fluoro-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxychalcone as a new anti-invasive agent. From discovery to initial validation in an in vivo metastasis model
-
Invasion and metastasis are responsible for 90% of cancer-related mortality. Herein, we report on our quest for novel, clinically relevant inhibitors of local invasion, based on a broad screen of natural products in a phenotypic assay. Starting from micromolar chalcone hits, a predictive QSAR model for diaryl propenones was developed, and synthetic analogues with a 100-fold increase in potency were obtained. Two nanomolar hits underwent efficacy validation and eADMET profiling; one compound was shown to increase the survival time in an artificial metastasis model in nude mice. Although the molecular mechanism(s) by which these substances mediate efficacy remain(s) unrevealed, we were able to eliminate the major targets commonly associated with antineoplastic chalcones.

- Co-N-C Catalyst for C-C Coupling Reactions: On the Catalytic Performance and Active Sites
-
C-C bond-forming reactions are important in chemistry for construction of complex large molecules from readily available simple substrates. However, they usually involve the employment of organic halides and suffer from toxic or environmental issues. We report an efficient and environmentally benign methodology-aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of primary and secondary alcohols-to directly produce α,β-unsaturated ketones that are key intermediates for synthesis of agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and other fine chemicals. A noble-metal-free Co-N-C catalyst, derived from pyrolysis of cobalt-phenanthroline complexes on a mesoporous carbon support, is developed toward the target reactions and shows high catalytic activity (turnover frequency of 3.8 s-1 based on Co single atoms, surpassing the state of art in the literature), good recyclability, and wide applicability to diverse substrates (28 examples). The active sites in the Co-N-C catalyst are proposed to be Co single atoms bonded with N within graphitic sheets.

- One-pot synthesis of chalcone epoxides - A green chemistry strategy
-
Waste minimization is a very important aspect of an environmentally benign protocol. A one-pot consecutive process has been developed for chalcone epoxide synthesis that allows compounds to be prepared without having to isolate and purify the intermediates. The strategy utilizes consecutive Claisen Schmidt condensation and epoxidation reactions to prepare chalcone epoxides from substituted benzaldehydes and acetophenones in good yields.

- Chalcones with electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents: Anticancer activity against TRAIL resistant cancer cells, structure-activity relationship analysis and regulation of apoptotic proteins
-
In the present study, a series of 46 chalcones were synthesised and evaluated for antiproliferative activities against the human TRAIL-resistant breast (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231), cervical (HeLa), ovarian (Caov-3), lung (A549), liver (HepG2), colorectal (HT-29), nasopharyngeal (CNE-1), erythromyeloblastoid (K-562) and T-lymphoblastoid (CEM-SS) cancer cells. The chalcone 38 containing an amino (-NH2) group on ring A was the most potent and selective against cancer cells. The effects of the chalcone 38 on regulation of 43 apoptosis-related markers in HT-29 cells were determined. The results showed that 20 apoptotic markers (Bad, Bax, Bcl-2, Bcl-w, Bid, Bim, CD40, Fas, HSP27, IGF-1, IGFBP-4, IGFBP-5, Livin, p21, Survivin, sTNF-R2, TRAIL-R2, XIAP, caspase-3 and caspase-8) were either up regulated or down regulated.

A series of chalcones (A-CH=CH-CO-B) were synthesized under microwave irradiation, and for the first time their pesticidal activity against diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) was evaluated to identify the promising lead structures. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis revealed that electron-withdrawing substituents on ring A of chalcone provided good pesticidal agents, whereas, ring B can bear either electron-withdrawing or electron-releasing substituents. Moreover, compound 22 having para-Cl substitution on ring A as well on ring B showed maximum activity with LC 50 value of 170.24 μg mL-1. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
