Abstract
Chalcones are a class of naturally occurring flavonoid compounds associated to a variety of biological and pharmacological properties. Several reviews have been published describing the synthesis and biological properties of a vast array of analogues. However, overviews on the reactivity of chalcones has only been explored in a few accounts. To fill this gap, a systematic survey on the most recent developments in the transition metal-catalyzed transformation of chalcones was performed. The chemistry of copper, palladium, zinc, iron, manganese, nickel, ruthenium, cobalt, rhodium, iridium, silver, indium, gold, titanium, platinum, among others, as versatile catalysts will be highlighted, covering the literature from year 2000 to 2023, in more than 380 publications.

Green synthesis, structure-activity relationships, in silico molecular docking, and antifungal activities of novel prenylated chalcones. Front Chem 2024; 12:1389848. [PMID: 38746019 PMCID: PMC11093228 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2024.1389848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
A series of 16 novel prenylated chalcones (5A-5P) was synthesized by microwave-assisted green synthesis using 5-prenyloxy-2-hydroxyacetophenone and different benzaldehydes. Comparisons were also performed between the microwave and conventional methods in terms of the reaction times and yields of all compounds, where the reaction times in the microwave and conventional methods were 1-4 min and 12-48 h, respectively. The synthesized compounds were characterized using different spectroscopic techniques, including IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and LC-HRMS. The antifungal activities of all compounds were evaluated against Sclerotium rolfsii and Fusarium oxysporum under in vitro conditions and were additionally supported by structure-activity relationship (SAR) and molecular docking studies. Out of the 16 compounds screened, 2'-hydroxy-4-benzyloxy-5'-O-prenylchalcone (5P) showed the highest activity against both S. rolfsii and F. oxysporum, with ED50 of 25.02 and 31.87 mg/L, respectively. The molecular docking studies of the prenylated chalcones within the active sites of the EF1α and RPB2 gene sequences and FoCut5a sequence as the respective receptors for S. rolfsii and F. oxysporum revealed the importance of the compounds, where the binding energies of the docked molecules ranged from -38.3538 to -26.6837 kcal/mol for S. rolfsii and -43.400 to -23.839 kcal/mol for F. oxysporum. Additional docking parameters showed that these compounds formed stable complexes with the protein molecules.

Abstract
This paper introduces a unique and novel method for synthesizing thienyl chalcones using iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) as a heterogeneous catalyst. It stands out as a rare example in the literature for the synthesis of these chalcones from 1,3-diketones and various aromatic aldehydes. The magnetic FeONPs employed as the catalyst bring several advantages, including their efficiency, affordability, and ecofriendly nature, making them an attractive choice for producing thiophene chalcones. One noteworthy aspect of this methodology is the utilization of mild reaction conditions, which greatly simplify the operational aspects of the reaction. Synthesized chalcones were confirmed through the application of various techniques, proton-NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. These analyses provide valuable insights into the chemical compositions and structural characteristics of the synthesized compounds. Significantly, this methodology is reported for the first time in the literature, indicating its novelty and contribution to the field of chalcone synthesis.

Abstract
AIM Design, synthesis and molecular docking studies of quinoline/naphthalene containing pyrazoline derivatives as PI3K inhibitors. BACKGROUND Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) belong to the family of enzymes, which are associated with various cellular functions such as cell growth, proliferation, differentiation etc. Overexpression or any changes in these functions may result in various abnormalities, which in turn cause cancer. OBJECTIVES To perform synthesis and molecular docking studies of quinoline/naphthalene containing pyrazoline derivatives as PI3K inhibitors. METHODS 2-Chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde was synthesized by a reaction of acetanilide and POCl3. The latter was reacted with substituted acetophenones to synthesize chalcones, which were reacted with substituted phenyl hydrazines to yield pyrazoline derivatives (Series I). Similarly, pchloro benzaldehyde was reacted with 2-acetonapthone to yield chalcone with substituted phenyl hydrazines to yield pyrazoline derivatives (Series II). RESULTS The synthetic compounds were subjected to molecular modelling experiments using Schrodinger 2016 software and evaluated in silico for their PI3K binding affinities. All the compounds had better docking scores than AMG-319 (-4.36 Kcal/mol) and comparable docking scores with PI-103 (-6.83 Kcal/mol). CONCLUSION Compounds 5 and 3 had the best docking scores (-7.85 and -7.17 Kcal/mol, respectively). The synthesized compounds have better docking scores than the reference drug AMG-319. As a result, they might be used as lead molecules in investigating PI3K inhibitors.

Abstract
Unintentional environmental effects brought on by insecticides encourage the creation of safer substitutes. A very polyphagous migrating lepidopteran pest species in Africa called S. Frugiperda causes terrible damage. In the current paper, treatment of 4-acetylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate with different aromatic aldehydes in the presence of NaOH afforded benzylideneacetophenones. The structure of the newly prepared compounds were proved by different spectroscopic techniques such as IR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C NMR, and elemental analysis. We looked at the association between contact with S. frugiperda and stricture reaction to examine their harmful effect. Additionally, S. frugiperda was used for testing the newly created compounds for their ability to kill insects. The majority of substances have been proven to be effective and promising. It has been found that 4-[3-(4-Methylphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]phenyl-4-methyl benzenesulfonate (4) was the most active with an LC50 =3.46 mg/L of 2nd instar larvae and LC50 =9.45 mg/L of 4th instar larvae. Moreover, some of biological and histopathological aspects of the synthesized products were investigated under laboratory conditions.

Bioorg Med Chem 2023; 96:117536.

Abstract
In the present study, we evaluated the neuroprotective potential of Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone (HMC) against the neurotoxicity induced by Aβ(25-35) peptide. HMC demonstrated higher free-radical scavenging activity than Hesperidin in initial cell-free studies. Investigations using the fluorescent dye thioflavin T with Aβ(25-35) peptide showed that HMC has the ability to combat extracellular amyloid aggregation by possessing anti-aggregation property against oligomers and by disaggregating mature fibrils. Also, the results of the molecular simulation studies show that HMC ameliorated oligomer formation. Further, the anti-Alzheimer's property of HMC was investigated in in vitro cell conditions by pre-treating the neuro 2a (N2a) cells with HMC before inducing Aβ(25-35) toxicity. The findings demonstrate that HMC increased cell viability, reduced oxidative stress, prevented macromolecular damage, allayed mitochondrial dysfunction, and exhibited anticholinesterase activity. HMC also reduced Aβ induced neuronal cell death by modulating caspase-3 activity, Bax expression and Bcl2 overexpression, demonstrating that HMC pre-treatment reduced mitochondrial damage and intrinsic apoptosis induced by Aβ(25-35).In silico evaluation against potential AD targets reveal that HMC could be a potent inhibitor of BACE-1, inhibiting the formation of toxic Aβ peptides. Overall, the findings imply that the neuroprotective efficacy of HMC has high prospects for addressing a variety of pathogenic consequences caused by amyloid beta in AD situations and alleviating cognitive impairments.

Abstract
Chalcones are a type of molecule that can be considered as easily synthesizable through aldol condensation or that can be readily purchased from habitual commercial vendors. However, on reviewing the literature, one realizes that there are no standard procedures for such aldol condensations, that there exists a wide range of alternative methods for the aldol condensation (indicating that such a condensation is not always simple), and that, in many cases, low yields are obtained that involve purifications by recrystallization or column chromatography. To develop a robust standard protocol independent of the nature of the substituents present on the acetophenone or the benzaldehyde involved in the aldol condensation leading to the chalcone, we made a comparison between an aldol condensation in KOH/EtOH and a Wittig reaction between the corresponding ylide and benzaldehyde in water. We describe an improved procedure for the Wittig reaction and a protocol for the elimination of the Ph3P=O byproduct (and the excess of ylide used) by filtration of the crude reaction product through a silica gel plug. We thus demonstrate that such an improved procedure can be a general method for the synthesis of chalcones in high yield and excellent purity and is clearly an improvement on the classical aldol condensation.

Abstract
Drug therapy for leishmaniasis remains a major challenge as currently available drugs have limited efficacy, induce serious side-effects and are not accessible to everyone. Thus, the discovery of affordable drugs is urgently needed. Chalcones present a great potential as bioactive agents due to simple structure and functionalization capacity. The antileishmanial activity of different natural and synthetic chalcones have been reported. Here we report the synthesis of twenty-five novel prenylated chalcones that displayed antiparasitic activity in Leishmania mexicana. All the chalcones were evaluated at 5 µg/mL and eleven compounds exhibited a metabolic inhibition close to or exceeding 50%. Compounds 49, 30 and 55 were the three most active with IC50 values < 10 μM. These chalcones also showed the highest selectivity index (SI) values. Interestingly 49 and 55 possessing a substituent at a meta position in the B ring suggests that the substitution pattern influences antileishmanial activity. Additionally, a tridimensional model of fumarate reductase of L. mexicana was obtained by homology modeling. Docking studies suggest that prenylated chalcones could modulate fumarate reductase activity by binding with good affinity to two binding sites that are critical for the target. In conclusion, the novel prenylated chalcones could be considered as promising antileishmanial agents.

Curcuminoid Chalcones: Synthesis, Stability, and New Neuroprotective and Sonosensitising Activities. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1331.

Abstract
The primary purpose of this work was to design and obtain a series of curcuminoid chalcone-NSAID hybrid derivatives. The ester-type hybrid compounds with ibuprofen (i), ketoprofen (ii), and naproxen (iii) were obtained in two ways, using the Claisen-Schmidt reaction and the Steglich esterification reaction. The designed molecules were successfully synthesised, and FT-IR, MS, and NMR spectroscopy confirmed their structures. Moreover, the cytotoxic effect of the sonodynamic therapy and the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticholinergic properties of some curcuminoid chalcones and curcuminoid chalcones hybrids were evaluated. The curcuminoid chalcone derivatives showed promising neuroprotective activity as sonosensitisers for sonodynamic therapy in the studied cell lines. Additionally, the stability of the ester-type hybrid compounds with promising activity was determined. The RP-HPLC method was used to observe the degradation of the tested compounds. Studies have shown that structural isomers of ester-type hybrid compounds (3ai, 3bi) are characterised by a similar susceptibility to degradation factors, i.e., they are extremely unstable in alkaline environments, very unstable in acidic environments, unstable in neutral environments, practically stable in oxidising environments, and photolabile in solutions and in the solid phase. These compounds maintain adequate stability in environment at pH 1.2 and 6.8, which may make them good candidates for developing formulations for oral administration.

Abstract
Complexes trans-[PdX2L2] (X = Cl and Br), where L is 1-(PR2),2-(CHCH-C(O)Ph)-C6F4 (R = Ph, Cy, and iPr), display phosphorescent emission in the solid state, whereas due to their substantially lower lifetimes, the free ligands exhibit fluorescent behaviour. Alternatively, structurally identical derivatives with halide replaced by CN- or Pd replaced by Pt are non-emissive. DFT calculations explain this diverse behaviour, showing that the hybridization of orbitals of the MX2 moiety with those of the chalcone fragment of ligands is significant only for the LUMO of the emissive compounds. In other words, in our complexes, only MLMCT processes (LM = Metal-perturbed Ligand-centered orbital) lead to observable luminescence.

Abstract
Chalcones are bioactive molecules of natural and synthetic sources, whose physicochemical properties, reactivity, and biological activities are well-known among the scientific community. However, there are many molecules strictly related to chalcones with significantly less recognition like bis-chalcones. Several studies indicated that bis-chalcones have advantages over chalcones in specific bioactivities like anti-inflammatory activity. This review article describes the chemical structure and chemical properties of bis-chalcones, as well as the methods reported in the literature for the synthesis of these compounds highlighting the most recent developments. Finally, the anti-inflammatory activity of bis-chalcones is described, emphasizing the active structures found in literature and their mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, controlled release of trans-chalcone was achieved by using a polycaprolactone-based hybrid system as the drug carrier material. Encapsulation efficiency was obtained in the range of 70–75% for various formulations and in vitro release studies, conducted at 37 °C and pH 7.4, revealed slow profile reaching 60% cumulative release. As interpreted from kinetic modelling, drug release was controlled mainly by Fickian diffusion; polymer erosion did not contribute to the TC release. Difference in drug loading efficiencies of the hybrid and neat PCL microparticles was observed such that PCL microparticles had lower loading efficiency than the hybrid microparticles whereas the release profiles were similar. pH of the release medium had affected release profiles; acidic medium enhanced drug release. Characterization of the microparticles were realized by FT-IR, TGA, DSC, SEM and WCA which revealed key properties such as molecular dispersion state and hydrophilicity. With the results obtained, we concluded that our hybrid system has a significant potential for long term release of trans-chalcone.

Abstract
Chalcone is an interesting scaffold found in the structure of many naturally occurring molecules. Medicinal chemists are commonly interested in designing new chalcone-based structures because of having the α, β-unsaturated ketone functional group, which allows these compounds to participate in Michael's reaction and create strong covalent bonds at the active sites of the targets. Some studies have identified several natural chalcone-based compounds with the ability to inhibit the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus proteases. A few years after the advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and the publication of many findings in this regard, there is some evidence that suggests chalcone scaffolding has great potential for use in the design and development of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) inhibitors. Artificial placement of this scaffold in the structure of optimized anti-SARS-CoV-2 compounds can potentially provide irreversible inhibition of the viral cysteine proteases 3-chymotrypsin-like protease and papain-like protease by creating Michael interaction. Despite having remarkable capabilities, the use of chalcone scaffold in drug design and discovery of SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors seems to have been largely neglected. This review addresses issues that could lead to further consideration of chalcone scaffolding in the structure of SARS-CoV-2 protease inhibitors in the future.

Abstract
A fluorescent probe 1 based on julolidine-chalcone derivative, which can specifically recognize aluminum ion with high selectivity and anti-interference, was developed. Probe 1 has good fluorescence stability and can detect Al3+ with turn-on fluorescence in a wide pH range of 4.0-9.0. The probe has good repeatability for the detection of Al3+ and fluorescence turn-on and off can be repeated with the alternate Al3+ and EDTA. The sensing mechanism is speculated that Al3+ will coordinate with hydroxyl oxygen and carbonyl oxygen on the probe through in situ 1H NMR and HRMS combing with Job's plot. The probe can also detect Al3+ in actual water samples and applied to monitor Al3+ in biological system.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis disease is a serious public health problem. This disease reaches about 10 to 12 million people, and 20-30 thousand people die yearly. The disease treatment is realized through pentavalent antimonial and glucantime. However, some studies indicated that these drugs presented high toxicity and cost. Therefore, it is urgent the search for new drugs that may combat this disease and are less toxic. This work analyzed for the first time the interaction potential of (E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (C1), (E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (C4), (E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(4ethoxyphenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (C9) chalcones through in silico approach. The molecular docking and the molecular electrostatic potential results indicated that the chalcones analyzed presented a strong interaction with the Leishmania major receptor, with affinity energy similar to the ligand co-crystallized. Besides, the interaction potential energy analysis from molecular dynamics simulations indicated the C9 ligand interacted more strongly than the 4-bromo-2,6-dichloro-N-(1,3,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazolyl) benzenesulfonamide ligand with the Leishmania major receptor, especially for the Phe 88, Tyr 217 and His 219 residues. Therefore, the C9 chalcone might potentially treat Leishmaniasis disease.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
An efficient synthetic route to construct diverse pyrazole-based chalcones from 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ols bearing a formyl or acetyl group on the C4 position of pyrazole ring, employing a base-catalysed Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction, is described. Isomeric chalcones were further reacted with N-hydroxy-4-toluenesulfonamide and regioselective formation of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2-oxazoles was established. The novel pyrazole-chalcones and 1,2-oxazoles were characterized by an in-depth analysis of NMR spectral data, which were obtained through a combination of standard and advanced NMR spectroscopy techniques.

Abstract
Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB), a highly fatal infectious disease, is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) that has inflicted mankind for several centuries. In 2019, the staggering number of new cases reached 10 million resulting in 1.2 million deaths. The emergence of multidrug-resistance-Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant-Mycobacterium tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a global concern that requires the search for novel, effective, and safer short-term therapies. Nowadays, among the few alternatives available to treat resistant-Mtb strains, the majority have limitations, which include drug-drug interactions, long-term treatment, and chronic induced toxicities. Therefore, it is mandatory to develop new anti-Mtb agents to achieve health policy goals to mitigate the disease by 2035. Among the several bioactive anti-Mtb compounds, chalcones have been described as the privileged scaffold useful for drug design. Overall, this review explores and analyzes 37 chalcones that exhibited anti-Mtb activity described in the literature up to April 2021 with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC90) values inferior to 20 µM and selective index superior to 10. In addition, the correlation of some properties for most active compounds was evaluated, and the main targets for these compounds were discussed.

Over the past few years, great progress has been made in the development of high-affinity adenosine A1 and/or A2A receptor antagonists-promising agents for the potential treatment of Parkinson's disease. Unfortunately, many of these compounds raise structure-related concerns. The present study investigated the effect of ring closures on the rA1 /A2A affinity of compounds containing a highly reactive α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system, hence providing insight into the potential of heterocycles to address these concerns. A total of 12 heterocyclic compounds were synthesised and evaluated in silico and in vitro. The test compounds performed well upon qualitative assessment of drug-likeness and were generally found to be free from potentially problematic fragments. Most also showed low/weak cytotoxicity. Results from radioligand binding experiments confirm that heterocycles (particularly 2-substituted 3-cyanopyridines) can replace the promiscuous α,β-unsaturated ketone functional group without compromising A1 /A2A affinity. Structure-activity relationships highlighted the importance of hydrogen bonds in binding to the receptors of interest. Compounds 3c (rA1 Ki = 16 nM; rA2A Ki = 65 nM) and 8a (rA1 Ki = 102 nM; rA2A Ki = 37 nM), which both act as A1 antagonists, showed significant dual A1 /A2A affinity and may, therefore, inspire further investigation into heterocycles as potentially safe and potent adenosine receptor antagonists.

Abstract
The excelling role of organic chemistry in the medicinal field continues to be one of the main leads in the drug development process. Particularly, this industry requires organic chemists to discover small molecular structures with powerful pharmacological potential. Herein, a diverse range of chalcone (1–11) and aurone (12–22) derivatives was designed and synthesized and for the first time, and both motifs were evaluated as potent inhibitors of alkaline phosphatases (APs). Structural identification of the target compounds (1–22) was accomplished using common spectroscopic techniques. The effect of the nature and position of the substituent was interestingly observed and justified based on the detailed structure–activity relationship (SAR) of the target compounds against AP. It was concluded from the obtained results that all the newly synthesized compounds exhibit high inhibitory potential against the AP enzyme. Among them, compounds 12 (IC50 = 2.163 ± 0.048 μM), 15 (IC50 = 2.146 ± 0.056 μM), 16 (IC50 = 2.132 ± 0.034 μM), 18 (IC50 = 1.154 ± 0.043 μM), 20 (IC50 = 1.055 ± 0.029 μM) and 21 (IC50 = 2.326 ± 0.059 μM) exhibited excellent inhibitory activity against AP, and even better/more active than KH2PO4 (standard) (IC50 = 2.80 ± 0.065 μM). Remarkably, compound 20 (IC50 = 1.055 ± 0.029 μM) may serve as a lead structure to design more potent inhibitors of alkaline phosphatase. To the best of our knowledge, these synthetic compounds are the most potent AP inhibitors with minimum IC50 values reported to date. Furthermore, a molecular modeling study was performed against the AP enzyme (1EW2) to check the binding interaction of the synthesized compounds 1–22 against the target protein. The Lineweaver–Burk plots demonstrated that most potential derivative 20 inhibited h-IAP via a non-competitive pathway. Finally, molecular dynamic (MD) simulations were performed to evaluate the dynamic behavior, stability of the protein–ligand complex, and binding affinity of the compounds, resulting in the identification of compound 20 as a potential inhibitor of AP. Accordingly, excellent correlation was observed between the experimental and theoretical results. The pharmacological studies revealed that the synthesized analogs 1–22 obey Lipinski's rule. The assessment of the ADMET parameters showed that these compounds possess considerable lead-like characteristics with low toxicity and can serve as templates in drug design. Aurones are the plant secondary metabolites belonging to the flavonoid’s family. The bioactivities of aurones are very promising, thus these heterocyclic compounds can be considered as an alluring scaffold for drug design and development.![]()

Abstract
In the present study, 1-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-3-naphthalen-1-yl-propenone (MPNP) is synthesized and characterized by several experimental techniques such as Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), FT-Raman, NMR and UV-vis spectral methods. The similar techniques are also investigated by the computational method using Gaussian software. The density functional theory (DFT) method is used to obtain the optimized structure using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set. This optimization procedure of the molecule gives the minimum energy confirmation of the structure. The computed geometrical parameters are compared with experimental data. The experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of MPNP are obtained in the regions 4000-400 and 4000-50 cm-1 respectively. The detailed vibrational assignments of the molecule are obtained with the support of potential energy distribution. The theoretical NMR (1H and 13C) analysis is conducted by the GIAO method for its structural characterization and compared with experimental chemical shifts. The experimental UV-vis spectrum is obtained in the dimethyl sulfoxide solvent and compared with the theoretically computed spectrum by the time-dependent DFT method. In addition to these studies, other analyses such as nonlinear optical, natural bonds orbital, frontier molecular orbital, molecular electrostatic potential, and NCI have been conducted to understand the nature of the molecule. The title molecule is docked and also the drug-likeness, ADMET studies were carried out. The RBD domain bound to the ACE2 receptor during the fusion makes spike glycoprotein an elusive therapeutic target in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Adenosine receptors (ARs) are ubiquitously distributed throughout the mammalian body where they are involved in an extensive list of physiological and pathological processes that scientists have only begun to decipher. Resultantly, AR agonists and antagonists have been the focus of multiple drug design and development programmes within the past few decades. Considered to be a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry, the chalcone framework has attracted a substantial amount of interest in this regard. Due to the potential liabilities associated with its structure, however, it has become necessary to explore other potentially promising compounds, such as heterocycles, which have successfully been obtained from chalcone precursors in the past. This review aims to summarise the emerging therapeutic importance of adenosine receptors and their ligands, especially in the central nervous system (CNS), while highlighting chalcone and heterocyclic derivatives as promising AR ligand lead compounds.

Abstract
Due to widespread multi-drug resistance in parasitic nematodes of livestock animals, there is an urgent need to discover new anthelmintics with distinct mechanisms of action. Extending previous work, here we screened a panel of 245 chemically-diverse small molecules for anti-parasitic activity against Haemonchus contortus—an economically important parasitic nematode of livestock. This panel was screened in vitro against exsheathed third-stage larvae (xL3) of H. contortus using an established phenotypic assay, and the potency of select compounds to inhibit larval motility and development assessed in dose-response assays. Of the 245 compounds screened, three—designated MPK18, MPK334 and YAK308—induced non-wildtype larval phenotypes and repeatedly inhibited xL3-motility, with IC50 values of 45.2 µM, 17.1 µM and 52.7 µM, respectively; two also inhibited larval development, with IC50 values of 12.3 µM (MPK334) and 6.5 µM (YAK308), and none of the three was toxic to human liver cells (HepG2). These findings suggest that these compounds deserve further evaluation as nematocidal candidates. Future work should focus on structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of these chemical scaffolds, and assess the in vitro and in vivo efficacies and safety of optimised compounds against adults of H. contortus.

Abstract
Background:
A number of synthetic scaffolds, along with natural products, have been
identified as potent antioxidants. The present study deals with the evaluation of varyingly substituted,
medicinally distinct class of compounds “chalcones and bis-chalcones” for their antioxidant potential.
Methods:
In vitro radical scavenging activities were performed on a series of synthetic chalcones 1-
13 and bis-chalcones 14-18.
Results:
All molecules 1-18 revealed a pronounced 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2ʹ-
azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radicals scavenging potential in the
ranges of IC50s = 0.58 ± 0.14 - 1.72 ± 0.03 and 0.49 ± 0.3 - 1.48 ± 0.06 μM, respectively. Ascorbic
acid (IC50s = 0.5 ± 0.1 and 0.46 ± 0.17 μM for DPPH and ABTS, respectively) was used as a standard
radical scavenger.
Conclusion:
Structure-activity relationship (SAR) revealed an active participation of various
groups, including -SMe and -OMe in scavenging activity.

Abstract
Abstract
A detailed structural analysis has been carried out on the monohydrate of (E)-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, 1·H
2
O. The molecule, 1, shows a small deviation from planarity with an interplanar angle between the phenyl groups of 13.32(6)°. Classical O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule play significant roles in determining the overall structure. The chalcone molecules in the structure are linked directly by C–H⋯O and off-set face-to-face π⋯π intermolecular interactions, as well as indirectly via interactions involving the water molecule in an elaborate spiralling hydrogen bonding scheme. The relative contributions of various intermolecular contacts were investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and the associated two dimensional fingerprint plots. Pairs of molecules were identified in the crystal structure using the Pixel method. The Pixel lattice energy calculations revealed that the dispersion and the Coulombic components were the major contributors to the packing stabilization. Comparisons were made between the structures of 1·H
2
O and hydroxylated (E)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-one derivatives, in particular in regards to the participation of π interactions.

The α-methylated chalcones 7a–7e behave as P-type photochromic substances with photo-stationary states (PSS) as high as 15:85 when irradiated at 350 nm. These compounds are easily accessible in pure E-configuration by aldol condensation or by oxidative coupling/elimination. The α-methyl groups make these compounds potentially reactive with singlet oxygen following the gem-rule that predicts 1O2 regioselectivity. Even after long irradiations times in the presence of the singlet oxygen sensitizer tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and oxygen, however, no oxygenation products were detected. Under these conditions, all substrates were converted into 9:1 E/Z-mixtures despite the use of low-energy light that does not allow direct or sensitized excitation of the substrates 7. Additionally, chalcone 7a reduced the singlet oxygen reactivity of the tiglic ketone 3a by about a factor of two, indicating substantial physical quenching of singlet oxygen by the α-methylated chalcones 7a–7e. Thus, a singlet oxygen-induced E/Z-isomerization involving 1,2-dioxatetra-methylene biradicals that leads to triplet oxygen and thermodynamic E/Z-mixtures is postulated and supported by quantum chemical (DFT)-calculations.

Abstract
Microwave Mediated Organic Synthesis (MMOS) is typical on the proficient heat
shift carried out by dielectric heating, which in turn, is primarily dependent on the capability
of the reagent or solvent to take up microwave energy. The employment of microwave energy
has witnessed a fast expansion in the past two decades, with novel and pioneering
applications in peptide and organic synthesis, material sciences, polymer chemistry, biochemical
processes and nanotechnology. This review summarizes current MW- mediated
catalytic reactions in use for the synthesis of a diversity of N-heterocycles by Multi-
Component Reactions (MCRs) and a variety of miscellaneous reactions. In addition, the
review addresses some aspects of the use of nanoparticles for a diversity of applications in
microwave chemistry.
