Screening a natural product library of 850 compounds yield isoliquiritigenin as an effective anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory NO induced by Pam3CSK4, while its activity accompanied by toxicity. Further studies obtained the optimized isoliquiritigenin derivative SMU-B14, which can inhibit Pam3CSK4 triggered toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling with low toxicity and high potency. Preliminary mechanism studies indicated that SMU-B14 worked through TLR2/MyD88, phosphorylation of IKKα/β, leading to the reduce degradation of NF-κB related IKBα and p65 complex, then inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β both in human and murine cell lines. Subsequent polarization experiments showed SMU-B14 significant reversed the polarization of M1 phenotype primary macrophage activated by Pam3CSK4 in vitro, and reduced the infiltration of neutrophil and polarization of M1-type macrophage, decreased serum alanine transaminase (ALT), as a result protected liver from being injured in vivo. In summary, we obtained an optimized lead compound SMU-B14 and found it functionally blocked TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to down-regulate the production of inflammatory cytokines resulted significant liver protection property.

Herein, we demonstrate that butein (1) can prevent swelling in a murine lymphedema model by suppressing tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) production. Butein derivatives were synthesized and evaluated to identify compounds with in vitro anti-inflammatory activity. Among them, 20 μM of compounds 7j, 7m, and 14a showed 50percent suppression of TNF-α production in mouse peritoneal macrophages after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Compound 14a, exhibited the strongest potency with an in vitro IC50 of 14.6 μM and suppressed limb volume by 70percent in a murine lymphedema model. The prodrug strategy enabled a six-fold increase in kinetic solubility of compound 1 and five-fold higher levels of active metabolite in the blood for compound 14a via oral administration in the pharmacokinetics study. We suggest that the compound 14a could be developed as a potential therapeutic agent targeting anti-inflammatory activity to alleviate lymphedema progression.

Calcium hydroxide was found to be an efficient catalyst for synthesis of polyhydroxy chalcones. This method has been employed to synthesize various 2′,4′-dihydroxychalcones having various substituents on the B ring. The merits of this method include shorter reaction time, inexpensive and easily available catalyst, high yield, and easy workup compared to other reported methods.
