- Hydroxyl- and Halogen-containing Chalcones for the Inhibition of LPS-stimulated ROS Production in RAW 264.7 Macrophages: Design, Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationship Study
-
Oxidative stress due to overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a major role in inflammation, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, 60 chalcone derivatives with fluorine (F), trifluoromethyl (CF3), trifluoromethoxy (OCF3), chlorine (Cl), and bromine (Br) in ring A and with or without hydroxy (OH) in ring B were designed, synthesized, and screened for inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated ROS production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Structure–activity relationship study revealed the importance of a hydroxyl moiety in ring B for enhancing inhibitory activity of ROS production. Furthermore, a hydroxyl group at the ortho-position is more essential for inhibition of ROS production followed by meta- and para-positions. Among all, compound 27 that contains para-chlorine moiety in ring A and ortho-hydroxy in ring B displayed the strongest inhibitory activity (IC50 = 3.42 μM) against LPS-stimulated ROS production in RAW264.7 macrophages.

- Structure-activity relationship with pyrazoline-based aromatic sulfamates as carbonic anhydrase isoforms I, II, IX and XII inhibitors: Synthesis and biological evaluation
-
Four new series of aromatic sulfamates were synthesized and investigated for the inhibition of four human (h) isoforms of zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1), hCA I, II, IX, and XII. The reported derivatives, obtained by a sulfamoylation reaction of the corresponding phenolic precursors, bear 3,5-diarylpyrazoline moieties as spacers between the benzenesulfamate fragment which binds the zinc ion from the active site, and the tail of the inhibitor. Pyrazolines are biologically privileged scaffolds, endowed with versatile biological activity, such as an anti-proliferative action. The derivatives were tested for the inhibition of the cytosolic, hCA I and II (off target isoforms) and the trans-membrane, tumor-associated hCA IX and XII enzymes (anticancer drug targets). Generally, hCA I was not effectively inhibited, whereas many low nanomolar inhibitors were evidenced against hCA II (KIs in the range of 0.42–90.1 nM), IX (KIs in the range of 0.72–63.6 nM), and XII (KIs in the range of 0.88–85.2 nM). The best substitution fragments at the pyrazoline ring included for CA II a 4-sulfamic group on the 3-aryl and halogens on the 5-aryl or a methoxy group on the 3-aryl and a 4-sulfamate group on the 5-aryl; for CA IX and CA XII they included the sulfamic group on the 3- or 4-position of the 5-aryl and an electronwithdrawing group on the 4-postion of the 3-aryl ring.

- β-Cyclodextrin/IBX in water: Highly facile biomimetic one pot deprotection of THP/MOM/Ac/Ts ethers and concomitant oxidative cleavage of chalcone epoxides and oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohols
-
A mild and efficient one-pot deprotection of THP/MOM/Ac/Ts ethers, and concomitant oxidative cleavage of epoxides and oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohols to form β-hydroxy 1,2-diketones, 1,2,3-triketones and conjugated aromatic carbonyl systems (chalcones) using β-cyclodextrin/IBX in water has been developed. o-Iodoxybenzoic acid, a readily available hypervalent iodine(v) reagent, was found to be highly effective with β-cyclodextrin in carrying out the deprotection and subsequent transformations under an eco-friendly environment. The reaction gave moderate to excellent yields ranging from 50-99% at 60°C in 40 min to 6 h.

- A Green, Solvent-Free, Microwave-Assisted, High-Yielding YbCl3Catalyzed Deprotection of THP/MOM/Ac/Ts Ethers of Chalcone Epoxide and 2′-Aminochalcone and Their Sequel Cyclization
-
Under microwave and solvent-free conditions, YbCl3efficiently catalyzed the deprotection of tetrahydropyran-2-yl, methoxymethyl (MOM), acetyl, and tosyl groups and sequel cyclization of chalcone epoxide to 2-hydroxyindanone and 2′-aminochalcone to aza-flavanone. The reaction afforded the products in excellent yield (78–99%) at 850 W microwave heating within 1–5 min under eco-friendly conditions. The merits of the presented protocol include high yield, use of microwave irradiation, solvent-free condition, catalyst reusability, and no need for purification with column chromatography. The present method is very much milder but more advanced than those reported earlier.

- β-Cyclodextrin in water: Highly facile biomimetic one pot deprotection of phenolic THP/MOM/Ac/Ts ethers and concomitant regioselective cyclization of chalcone epoxides and 2′-aminochalcones
-
A mild and efficient one-pot deprotection of THP/MOM/Ac/Ts ethers and the concomitant cyclization of chalcone epoxides to 2-hydroxyindanones or 2′-aminochalcones to aza-flavanones using β-cyclodextrin in water has been developed. β-CD was found to be highly effective at carrying out the deprotection and sequential transformations in an eco-friendly environment affording moderate to excellent yields (59-99%) at 60 °C in 8-22 min. Water, an eco-friendly reaction medium, has been utilized for the first time in this reaction. The merits of the presented protocol include the high yields and catalyst reusability and the protocol precludes the use of metals and organic solvents. The present method is much milder but more advanced than those reported earlier.

- Evaluation of the radical scavenging activity of a series of synthetic hydroxychalcones towards the DPPH radical
-
Sixteen hydroxychalcones were synthesized in sufficient purity by the Claisen-Schmidt condensation between appropriate acetophenones and aromatic aldehydes. All the compounds were evaluated for their ability to scavenge the stable free 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. Important structure-activity relationships were observed that strongly contribute to the knowledge for the design of DPPH radical scavenging chalcones. Relevant theoretical parameters were computed in an attempt to understand and explain the obtained experimental results.

- Antifungal activity of chalcones: A mechanistic study using various yeast strains
-
We reported the synthesis, antifungal evaluation and study on substituent effects of 21 chalcones. A lot of genetically defined strains belonging to different yeast genera and species, namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hansenula polymorpha and Kluyveromyces lactis, were used as test organisms. Concerning the mode of the antifungal action of chalcones it was shown that DNA was probably not the main target for the chalcones. It was revealed that the yeast's intracellular glutathione and cysteine molecules play significant role as defence barrier against the chalcone action. It was also shown that chalcones may react with some proteins involved in cell separation.

- Study on the substituents' effects of a series of synthetic chalcones against the yeast Candida albicans
-
A large series of chalcones were synthesized and studied for activity against Candida albicans. The SAR analysis showed that the antifungal activity was highly dependent on the substitution pattern of the aryl rings and correlated to a large extent with the ability of compounds to interact with sulfhydryl groups. The most active were the hydroxylated chalcones as their activity related to the location of the phenolic group in the aryl ring B as follows: o-OH > p-OH ~ 3,4-di-OH > m-OH. These and other correlations obtained strongly contribute to the knowledge for design of anticandidal chalcones.
