Abstract
Herein, we report the first site-selective, Pd(II)-catalyzed, cross-dehydrogenative Heck reaction of indoles in micro flow. By use of a capillary microreactor, we were able to boost the intrinsic kinetics to accelerate former hour-scale reaction conditions in batch to the minute range in flow. The synergistic use of microreactor technology and oxygen, as both terminal oxidant and mixing motif, highlights the sustainable aspect of this process.

Abstract
A novel series of chalcone derivatives (4a-8d) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for the inhibition activity against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The logP values of the compounds were shown to range from 1.49 to 2.19, which suggested that they were possible to pass blood brain barriers in vivo. The most promising compound 4a (IC50: 4.68 μmol/L) was 2-fold more potent than Rivastigmine against AChE (IC50: 10.54 μmol/L) and showed a high selectivity for AChE over BuChE (ratio: 4.35). Enzyme kinetic study suggested that the inhibition mechanism of compound 4a was a mixed-type inhibition. Meanwhile, the result of molecular docking showed its potent inhibition of AChE and high selectivity for AChE over BuChE.

Abstract
A facile and general synthesis of 23 novel indole-based chalcones, ( E)-1-(2-chloro-1-methyl-1 H-indol-3-yl)-3-arylprop-2-en-1-ones, has been achieved in good yields of 71–89% by the Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction of 3-acetyl-2-chloro- N-methylindole with variously substituted araldehydes using 1,4-dioxane as solvent in the presence of 5% aq. KOH. A similar reaction using furan-2- or thiophene-2-carbaldehyde gave analogous products in good yield, but an unexpected aldol reaction occurred with 2-nitrobenzaldehyde and the stable aldol product was isolated as the major product in a good yield of 73%.

Abstract
In vitro inhibition effects of indolylchalcones and new pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives on purified human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I and II) were investigated by using CO2 as a substrate. The results showed that all compounds inhibited the hCA I and hCA II enzyme activities. Among all the synthesized compounds, 7e (IC50 = 6.79 µM) was found to be the most active compound for hCA I inhibitory activity and 5 g (IC50 = 7.22 µM) showed the highest hCA II inhibitory activity. Structure-activity relationships study showed that indolylchalcone derivatives have higher inhibitory activities than pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives on hCA I and hCA II. Additionally, methyl group bonded to uracil ring increases inhibitory activities on both hCA I and hCA II.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a series of trans-indole-3-acrylamide derivatives (3a-k) and investigated their activity for inhibition of cell proliferation against five human cancer cell lines (HeLa, MCF7, MDA-MB-231, Raji and HL-60) by MTT assay. Compound 3e showed significant antiproliferative activity against both the Raji and HL-60 cell lines with IC50 values of 9.5 and 5.1 μM, respectively. Compound 3e also exhibited moderate inhibitory activity on tubulin polymerization (IC50=17 μM). Flow cytometric analysis of cultured cells treated with 3e also demonstrated that the compound caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in HL-60 and HeLa cells. Moreover, 3e, the most active compound, caused an apoptotic cell death through the activation of caspase-3. Docking simulations suggested that 3e binds to the colchicine site of tubulin.

Abstract
A series of novel isoxazolyl chalcones were synthesized and evaluated for their activities in vitro against four types of human non-small cell lung cancer cells, including H1792, H157, A549 and Calu-1 cells. The preliminary biological screening showed that compounds 5d and 5f-i exhibited significant cytotoxicity, particularly, compounds 5f and 5h were identified as the most potent anticancer agents with IC50 values 1.35-2.07 μM and 7.27-11.07 μM against H175, A549 and Calu-1 cell lines, respectively. Compounds 5f-i could induce apoptosis in A549 cells by death receptor 5 (DR5) mediated extrinsicpathways. The preliminary structure-activity relationship study showed that compounds bearing electron withdrawing groups (EWG) at the 2-position of the phenyl ring in Ar group were more effective than those with EWG at 4-position. These results further demonstrated that the scaffolds designed in this work might lead to the discovery of novel anti-lung cancer agents.

Abstract
Chalcone derivatives have been synthesized by reaction of 1-(2,5-dimethyl-furan-3-yl)-ethanone with corresponding active aldehyde in ethanolic NaOH in microwave oven. The structure of these compounds was established by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and EI-MS spectral analysis. The anti-bacterial activity of these compounds was first tested in vitro by the disc diffusion assay against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria, and then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined with the reference of standard drug Chloramphenicol. The results showed that pyrazol containing chalcone (compound 8) inhibited both types of bacteria (Gram-positive and Gram-negative) better than chloramphenicol.

Abstract
A series of 6- and 8-cinnamoylchromen-2-one and dihydropyranochromen-2-one derivatives were synthesized and their antiproliferative activities were evaluated against three human cancer cell lines, i.e., ovarian adenocarcinoma (SK-OV-3), leukemia (CCRF-CEM), and breast carcinoma (MCF-7). In general, 8-cinnamoylchromen-2-one derivatives were found to have higher antiproliferative activity against the cancer cells when compared with 6-cinnamoyl analogues. Among all of the hybrid chromen-2-one − chalcone/flavanone compounds, a 7-hydroxy-8-cinnamoylchromen-2-one derivative 35 was found to be consistently active against all the cancer cell lines and inhibited the cell proliferation of SK-OV-3, CCRF-CEM, and MCF-7 by 63%, 50%, and 43%, respectively, at a concentration of 50 μmol/L after 72 h of incubation. This compound also exhibited the highest Src kinase inhibition (IC50= 14.5 μmol/L). Structure−activity relationship studies provided insights for designing the next generation of chromen-2-one − chalcone hybrid prototypes and the development of new leads as anticancer agents and (or) Src kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction of 4-acetamidoacetophenone with aromatic aldehydes under ultrasonic irradiation affords acetylaminochalcones (yields: 71-90%) which also under ultrasonic irradiation and in the presence of sodium acetate and acetic acid aqueous undergo facile and clean cyclocondensation with hydrazine to afford 3-(4-acetamidophenyl)-5-(aryl)-1-H-pyrazolines. The pyrazolines were obtained in good to excellent yields (81-89%), and were characterized by conventional spectral data. The work-up is simple and the results obtained indicate that, unlike classical heating, ultrasonic irradiation results in higher yields, shorter reaction times (1.5-2.3 h) and milder conditions.

Abstract
Due to toxicity problems, various plant-derived compounds have been screened to find the chemotherapeutic agents. As anticancer therapeutic agents, chalcones have advantages such as poor interaction with DNA and low risk of mutagenesity. Chromenones show anticancer activities too. Therefore, hybrids of chalcone and chromenone may be potent chemotherapeutic agents. We prepared 16 synthetic chromenylchalcones and applied a clonogenic long-term survival assay method for them on HCT116 human colorectal cancer cell lines. One of chromenylchalcones tested here, chromenylchalcone 11, showed IC50 of 93.1nM which can be competed with the IC50 values of well-known flavonoids such as catechin gallate and epicatechin gallate. Further biological experiments including cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assay, Western blot analysis, and immunofluorescent microscopy were carried out for this compound. In addition, in vitro kinases binding assay performed to explain its molecular mechanism demonstrated the compound inhibited aurora kinases. The binding modes between chromenylchalcone 11 and aurora kinases were elucidated using in silico docking experiments. These findings could be used for designing cancer therapeutic or preventive plant-derived chromenylchalcone agents.

Abstract
Recent studies report that chalcones exhibit cytotoxicity to human cancer cell lines. Typically, the form of cell death induced by these compounds is apoptosis. In the context of the discovery of new anticancer agents and in light of the antitumour potential of several chalcone derivatives, in the present study, we synthesized and tested the cytotoxicity of six chalcone derivatives on human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Six derivatives of 3-phenyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl) prop-2-en-1-one were prepared and characterized on the basis of their (1) H and (13) C NMR spectra. HT-29 cells were treated with synthesized chalcones on two concentrations by three different incubation times. Cells were evaluated by cell morphology, Tetrazolium dye (MTT) colorimetric assay, live/dead, flow cytometry (annexin V) and gene expression analyses to determine the cytotoxic way. Chalcones 3-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (C06) and 3-(2-nitrophenyl)-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (C09) demonstrated higher cytotoxicity than other chalcones as shown by cell morphology, live/dead and MTT assays. In addition, C06 induced apoptosis on flow cytometry annexin V assay. These data were confirmed by a decreased expression of anti-apoptotic genes and increased pro-apoptotic genes. Our findings indicate in summary that the cytotoxic activity of chalcone C06 on colorectal carcinoma cells occurs by apoptosis.

Abstract
Novel quinoline-2-one based chalcones were synthesized from a Claisen-Schmidt condensation by using the couple KOH/1,4-dioxane as reaction medium. A relatively stable aldol was isolated and identified as the intermediate species in the formation of the target chalcones. Nine of the obtained compounds were in vitro screened by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) for their ability to inhibit 60 different human tumor cell lines. Products 16c, 16d, 16h and 27 exhibited the highest activity, being compound 27 the most active, displaying remarkable activity against 50 human tumor cell lines, thirteen of them with GI(50) values ≤1.0 μM, being the HCT-116 (Colon, GI(50) = 0.131 μM) and LOX IMVI (Melanoma, GI(50) = 0.134 μM) the most sensitive strains. Compound 27 was referred to in vivo acute toxicity and hollow fiber assay by the Biological Evaluation Committee of the NCI. The acute toxicity study indicated that compound 27 was well tolerated intraperitoneally (150 mg/kg/dose) by athymic nude mice. This compound may possibly be used as lead compound for developing new anticancer agents.

Abstract
A synthetic strategy to access small libraries of triazolylmethoxy chalcones 4{1-20}, triazolylmethoxy flavanones 5{1-10} and triazolylmethoxy aminopyrimidines 6{1-17} from a common substrate 4-propargyloxy-2-hydroxy acetophenone using a set of different reactions has been developed. The chalcones and flavanones were screened against mycobacterial FAS-II pathway using a recombinant mycobacterial strain, against which the most potent compound showed ∼88% inhibition in bacterial growth and substantially induction of reporter gene activity at 100 μM concentration. The triazolylmethoxy aminopyrimdines were screened against PknG of Mycobaceterium tuberculosis displaying moderate to good activity (23-53% inhibition at 100 μM), comparable to the action of a standard inhibitor.

Abstract
FtmPT1 from Aspergillus fumigatus is a fungal indole prenyltransferase (PT) that normally catalyzes the regiospecific prenylation of brevianamide F (cyclo-L-Trp-L-Pro) at the C-2 position of the indole ring with dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). Interestingly, FtmPT1 exhibited remarkable substrate tolerance and accepted (E)-4-(1H-indol-3-yl)but-3-en-2-one (1) as a substrate to produce an unnatural novel α-prenylindolylbutenone (1a). This is the first demonstration of the prenylation of a nonaromatic carbon of the acceptor substrate by a fungal indole PT.

Abstract
Several chalcones were synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxicity against various human cell lines, including human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7, human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549, human prostate cancer cell line PC3, human adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 (colorectal cancer) and human normal liver cell line WRL-68 was evaluated. Most of the compounds being active cytotoxic agents, four of them with minimal IC50 values were chosen and studied in detail with MCF-7 cells. The compounds 1, 5, 23, and 25 were capable in eliciting apoptosis in MCF-7 cells as shown by multiparameter cytotoxicity assay and caspase-3/7, -8, and -9 activities (p < 0.05). The ROS level showed 1.3-fold increase (p < 0.05) at the low concentrations used and thus it was concluded that the compounds increased the ROS level eventually leading to apoptosis in MCF-7 cells through intrinsic as well as extrinsic pathways.

Abstract
Methuosis is a novel caspase-independent form of cell death in which massive accumulation of vacuoles derived from macropinosomes ultimately causes cells to detach from the substratum and rupture. We recently described a chalcone-like compound, 3-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (i.e., MIPP), which can induce methuosis in glioblastoma and other types of cancer cells. Herein, we describe the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a directed library of related compounds, providing insights into the contributions of the two aryl ring systems and highlighting a potent derivative, 3-(5-methoxy, 2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (i.e., MOMIPP) that can induce methuosis at low micromolar concentrations. We have also generated biologically active azide derivatives that may be useful for future studies aimed at identifying the protein targets of MOMIPP by photoaffinity labeling techniques. The potential significance of these studies is underscored by the finding that MOMIPP effectively reduces the growth and viability of Temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma and doxorubicin-resistant breast cancer cells. Thus, it may serve as a prototype for drugs that could be used to trigger death by methuosis in cancers that are resistant to conventional forms of cell death (e.g., apoptosis).

Abstract
Tridentate chelate complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been synthesized from the chalcone based ligands 2-[1-(3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propylimino)-3-(phenylallyl)]phenol(HL(1)), 2-[1-(3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propylimino)-3-p-tolylallyl]phenol(HL(2)), 2-[1-(3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propylimino)-3-4-nitrophenylallyl]phenol(HL(3)). Microanalytical data, UV-vis spectrophotometric method, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR, 1H NMR, Mass, and EPR techniques were used to characterize the structure of chelates. The electronic absorption spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest a distorted square planar geometry for the copper(II) ion. The other metal complexes show distorted tetrahedral geometry. The coordination of the ligands with metal(II) ions was further confirmed by solution fluorescence spectrum. The antimicrobial activity of the ligands and metal(II) complexes against the species Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albigans and Aspergillus niger has been carried out and compared. The electrochemical behavior of copper(II) complex is studied by cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract
Cinnamylideneacetophenones have been extensively used as versatile starting materials in numerous different transformations. The structural characterization of this type of compounds is, therefore, of crucial importance since it can give information on the chemistry, reactivity and also the potential biological activity of this type of compounds. Thus, 24 derivatives were systematically studied by tandem mass spectrometry (MS(2)) with electrospray ionization (ESI), in positive ion mode. The protonated molecules, [M + H](+), formed under ESI conditions were induced to dissociate and the fragmentation patterns were studied. The information collected provided important structural information on the type of substituents present and constitute an important database concerning this family of compounds. Overall, it was found that the substitution pattern of the cinnamylideneacetophenone derivatives changes the ESI-MS(2) fragmentation considerably. These results indicate that ESI-MS(2) is a useful technique for distinguishing positional isomers of these cinnamylideneacetophenone derivatives.

Abstract
Background Methuosis is a unique form of non-apoptotic cell death triggered by alterations in the trafficking of clathrin-independent endosomes, ultimately leading to extreme vacuolization and rupture of the cell. Results Here we describe a novel chalcone-like molecule, 3-(2-methyl-1H- indol-3-yl)-1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (MIPP) that induces cell death with the hallmarks of methuosis. MIPP causes rapid accumulation of vacuoles derived from macropinosomes, based on time-lapse microscopy and labeling with extracellular fluid phase tracers. Vacuolization can be blocked by the cholesterol-interacting compound, filipin, consistent with the origin of the vacuoles from non-clathrin endocytic compartments. Although the vacuoles rapidly acquire some characteristics of late endosomes (Rab7, LAMP1), they remain distinct from lysosomal and autophagosomal compartments, suggestive of a block at the late endosome/lysosome boundary. MIPP appears to target steps in the endosomal trafficking pathway involving Rab5 and Rab7, as evidenced by changes in the activation states of these GTPases. These effects are specific, as other GTPases (Rac1, Arf6) are unaffected by the compound. Cells treated with MIPP lose viability within 2-3 days, but their nuclei show no evidence of apoptotic changes. Inhibition of caspase activity does not protect the cells, consistent with a non-apoptotic death mechanism. U251 glioblastoma cells selected for temozolomide resistance showed sensitivity to MIPP-induced methuosis that was comparable to the parental cell line. Conclusions MIPP might serve as a prototype for new drugs that could be used to induce non-apoptotic death in cancers that have become refractory to agents that work through DNA damage and apoptotic mechanisms.

Abstract
A chalcone was prepared by the reaction of terephthalaldehyde with 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene. Treatment of this chalcone with thiosemicarbazide/phenyl hydrazine/guanidine hydrochloride/thiourea afforded the corresponding pyrazoline, pyrazole, and pyrimidine in good yields. All the new compounds have been characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, GC-MS and elemental analyses. The anti-bacterial activity of these compounds were first tested in vitro by the disk diffusion assay against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria, and then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined with the reference of standard drug chloramphenicol. The results showed that the pyrazoline derivative is better at inhibiting growth of both types of bacteria (Gram-positive and Gram-negative) compared to chloramphenicol.

Abstract
The present Letter identified 2'-hydroxy-2,3,4',6'-tetramethoxychalcone (HTMC) as a potent in vitro cytotoxic agent with selective activity against cell lines derived from human lung cancer. In A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, HTMC caused G1 phase cell-cycle arrest. HTMC treatment also led to an inhibition of cell-cycle regulatory proteins phosphorylation of cdc2 (Tyr(15) and Tyr(161)) and Rb (Ser(795) and Ser(807/811)), which was accompanied by the accumulation of tumor suppressor genes p53 and p21. In addition, in vivo data demonstrated that HTMC act as a tumor growth suppressing agent.
