Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a growing global health concern. In recent decades, natural and synthetic chromenone have emerged as promising drug candidates due to their multi-target potential. Natural chromenone, quercetin, scopoletin, esculetin, coumestrol, umbelliferone, bergapten, and methoxsalen (xanthotoxin), and synthetic chromenone hybrids comprising structures like acridine, 4-aminophenyl, 3-arylcoumarins, quinoline, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,3-triazole, and tacrine, have been explored for their potential to combat AD. Key reactions used for synthesis of chromenone hybrids include Perkin and Pechmann condensation. The activity of chromenone hybrids has been reported against several drug targets, including AChE, BuChE, BACE-1, and MAO-A/B. This review comprehensively explores natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic chromenone, elucidating their synthetic routes, possible mode of action/drug targets and structure-activity relationships (SAR). The acquired knowledge provides valuable insights for the development of new chromenone hybrids against AD.

Liu W, Li Y, Liang J, Li Y, Zhu G, Wang J, Chen W, Tang L, Fan L. Design and synthesis of some novel structurally diverse thiochroman derivatives as fungicides against phytopathogenic fungi. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant diseases infected by pathogenic fungi have a devastating effect on global agricultural and food industry yields. The development of novel, environmentally friendly, and efficient fungicides is an important technique for preventing and combatting phytopathogenic fungi. RESULTS Herein, 99 thiochroman-based derivatives containing hydroxyl, sulfoxide, sulfone, carbonyl, double bond, amino, imine, oxime, oxime ester, and amide moieties were synthesized. The antifungal activities of the target compounds against ten typical phytopathogenic fungi were also investigated. The bioassay results illustrated that most of the target compounds exhibited moderate to excellent antifungal effects against the tested fungi in vitro. Among these, thiochroman-oxime derivatives (12a-12m) exerted a promising inhibition effect, especially against Fusarium solani, Fusarium graminearum, Valsa mali, and Botrytis cinerea strains. Furthermore, the compounds 12f and 12g markedly suppressed the spore germination germ and tube growth. At the same time, they exerted excellent protective effects against potatoes infected by F. solani, making them superior to commercial fungicides Hymexazol and Chlorothalonil. Notably, the compounds 12d and 12f also showed excellent protective effects against cherry tomatoes infected by B. cinerea. Further mechanistic studies revealed that compound 12f exerted an antifungal effect by overtly altering the mycelium structure and remarkably increasing cell membrane permeability. Fortunately, the excellent bioactive compounds showed good safety against human hepatic cell lines (WRL-68). The preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis revealed that the introduction of hydroxyl or oxime fragments at the thiopyran ring might be significantly beneficial to antifungal activity. CONCLUSION This study provides thiochroman compounds that can be used in the development of novel botanical fungicides for the management of phytopathogenic fungi. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
A series of novel chromone derivatives of (N-(4-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-chromen-6-yl) benzamides) were synthesized by treating 7-amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)-4H-chromen-4-one with K2CO3 and/or NaH, suitable alkyl halides and acetonitrile and/or 1,4-dioxane. The obtained products are in high yields (87 to 96%) with various substituents in short reaction times with no more by-products and confirmed by FT-IR, 1H, and 13C-NMR Spectral data. The in vitro cytotoxic activity was examined against two human cancer cell lines, namely the human lung adenocarcinoma (A-549) and the human breast (MCF-7) cancer cell line. Compound 4h showed promising cytotoxicity against both cell lines with IC50 values of 22.09 and 6.40 ± 0.26 µg/mL respectively, compared to that of the standard drug. We also performed the in vitro antioxidant activity by DPPH radical, hydrogen peroxide, NO scavenging, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assay methods, and they showed significant activities. The possible binding interactions of all the synthesized chromone derivatives are also investigated against selective pharmacological targets of human beings, such as HERA protein for cytotoxic activity and Peroxiredoxins (3MNG) for antioxidant activity which showed closer binding free energies than the standard drugs and evidencing the above two types of activities.

Abstract
In this article, we present the design and synthesis of amino-7,8-dihydro-4H-chromenone derivatives as possible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) for the management of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The target compounds were evaluated against AChE and BChE in vitro, and 4k exhibited good potency against BChE (IC50 = 0.65 ± 0.13 µM) compared with donepezil used as a positive control. Kinetic studies revealed that compound 4k exhibited a competitive-type inhibition with a Ki value of 0.55 µM. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further supported the rationality of our design strategy, as 4k showed promising binding interactions with the active sites of BChE. Overall, our findings highlight the potential of amino-7,8-dihydro-4H-chromenone derivatives as promising candidates for developing novel therapeutics targeting cholinesterase in managing AD.

Abstract
Energy transfer (EnT) photocatalysis has emerged as a valuable tool for constructing complex organic scaffolds via [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions. Herein, we present the use of [Au(SIPr)(Cbz)] as a sensitizer for the [2 + 2]-cycloaddition of coumarins and unactivated alkenes. Widely used in EnT catalysis, iridium and organic sensitizers proved less efficient under the examined catalytic conditions. The developed protocol permits the synthesis of cyclobutane-fused chromanones from readily available starting materials. A wide range of alkenes and substituted coumarins, including naturally occurring compounds, were reacted under mild conditions leading to structurally complex products with good functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies reveal a previously overlooked reaction pathway for energy transfer catalysis involving coumarins.

Abstract
In this work, we reported the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of seven novel tricyclic compounds resulting from the reaction of 3-benzylidenechromanone with Cl or Br substituent in different positions and without halogen with methylhydrazine. The structural characterization of compounds was done through different techniques i.e., FTIR,1HNMR,a single and powder X-Ray diffraction. Moreover, fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime assessed their fluorescent properties in the solid state and various solvents. Derivatives with Cl or Br substituent in positions 2 and 4 are isostructural. 4-Cl, 4-Br and 3-Cl compounds exhibit fluorescence with moderate efficiency (quantum yield 0.11-0.26) in solid state due to specific arrangements, so-called π-stack brick stone with head-to-tail self-assembly. Other crystalline compounds (2-Cl, 2-Br and 3-Br) that exhibit negligible fluorescence quantum yield have crossed V-type arrangement. In the solution, the nonhalogenated compound shows the best fluorescence efficiency. In turn, the presence of halogen atoms results in fluorescence decreasing. TD-DFT study revealed that unsubstituted compound higher emissive in solution has a different electron density distribution at HOMO and LUMO levels than less emissive substituted compounds (A3 and A3).

Abstract
This study involved the design and synthesis of a series of novel 4-chromanone-derived compounds. Their in vivo anti-cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) activity in field trials against CMV disease in Passiflora spp. was then assessed. Bioassay results demonstrated that compounds 7c and 7g exhibited remarkable curative effects and protection against CMV, with inhibition rates of 57.69% and 51.73% and 56.13% and 52.39%, respectively, surpassing those of dufulin and comparable to ningnanmycin. Field trials results indicated that compound 7c displayed significant efficacy against CMV disease in Passiflora spp. (passion fruit) after the third spraying at a concentration of 200 mg/L, with a relative control efficiency of 47.49%, surpassing that of dufulin and comparable to ningnanmycin. Meanwhile, nutritional quality test results revealed that compound 7c effectively enhanced the disease resistance of Passiflora spp., as evidenced by significant increases in soluble protein, soluble sugar, total phenol, and chlorophyll contents in Passiflora spp. leaves as well as improved the flavor and taste of Passiflora spp. fruits, as demonstrated by notable increases in soluble protein, soluble sugar, soluble solid, and vitamin C contents in Passiflora spp. fruits. Additionally, a transcriptome analysis revealed that compound 7c primarily targeted the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway, a crucial plant hormone signal transduction pathway, thereby augmenting resistance against CMV disease in Passiflora spp. Therefore, this study demonstrates the potential application of these novel 4-chromanone-derived compounds as effective inducers of plant immunity for controlling CMV disease in Passiflora spp. in the coming decades.

Abstract
Benzopyrans (BZPs) are among the most privileged and influential small O-heterocycles that form the core of many natural compounds, commercial drugs, biological compositions, agrochemicals, and functional materials. BZPs are divided into six general categories including coumarins, chromans, 2H-chromenes, 4H-chromenes, chromones, and 4-chromanones, each of which is abundant in many plants and foods. These oxygenated heterocyclic compounds are fascinating motifs and have extensive applications in biology and materials science. Hence, numerous efforts have been made to develop innovative approaches for their extraction and synthesis. However, most of them are step-by-step or multi-step strategies that suffer from waste material generation and a tedious extraction process. Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (I-MCRs) offer a highly efficient method for overcoming these problems. The I-MCR is a simple and environmentally friendly one-pot domino procedure that does not require intermediate isolation or workup and is generally more efficient in material usage. This review covers all research articles related to I-MCRs for synthesizing BZP derivatives from the beginning to the middle of the year 2023. This strategy will be useful for organic and pharmaceutical chemists to design new drugs and optimize the synthesis steps of biological compounds and commercial drugs with benzopyran cores.

Abstract
Houttuynia cordata (Thunb.), an important medicinal plant of Northeast India, Korea, and China, is used to treat various ailments and for anticancer research. Knowing its traditional practices, we are interested in the mode-of-action of HCT on HepG2 to co-relate the traditional practice with modern drug therapeutics. UPLC-Q-ToF-Ms analysis of HCT reveals identification of 14 metabolites. Network pharmacology analysis of the 14 compounds showed interaction with 232 different targets with their potential involvement in hepatocellular carcinoma. Whole extracts impart cytotoxicity on variety of cell lines including HepG2. There was a significant morphological alteration in treated HepG2 cells due to impairment of cytoskeletal components like β and γ- tubulin. Arrest at G1-S checkpoint was clearly indicated downregulation of Cyclin D1. The root extracts actuated apoptosis in HepG2 as evident from altered mitochondrial membrane potential, Annexin V- FITC, BrdU-PI, AO/EtBr assays, and modulations of apoptotic protein expression but without ROS generation. Whole extracts caused abrogation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition with repression of Snail, N-Cadherin, Vimentin, MMP-9, and upregulation of Pan-Cadherin. Pathway analysis found GSK-3β in Wnt/β-Catenin signaling cascade to be involved through Hepatocellular carcinoma (hsa05225) pathway. The GSK-3β/β-Catenin/PDL-1 signaling was found to be inhibited with the downregulation of pathway components. This was further confirmed by application of EGF, an inducer of the GSK-3β/β-Catenin pathway that neutralized the effect of Houttuynia cordata (Thunb.) root extract on the said pathway. Network pharmacology analysis also confirms the synergy network with botanical-bioactive-target-disease which showed Kaempferol to have the highest degree of association with the said pathway.

Abstract
A protocol involving the irradiation of some 3-(2-alkenyl)estrone and 3-(2-alkenyl)-17-norestrone derivatives under a nitrogen atmosphere in organic solvents (both hexane and MeOH) followed by base-mediated intramolecular oxa-Michael cyclization reaction was investigated under steady-state conditions. The solvent effect and nature of the acyl group on the preparative photoreaction were studied and the multiplicity of the excited state was also demonstrated. The ortho-regioisomers were obtained in modest to good yields. Intramolecular based-mediate cyclization reaction of these synthons led to the formation of a set of novel substituted 4-chromanone moieties fused to estrone (and 17-norestrone) in good yields. This two-step sequential procedure involving a photochemical/intramolecular thermal cyclization strategy will be useful for the preparation of wide heterocyclic-fused-steroid compounds.

Abstract
As a privileged scaffold, chromanone has been extensively introduced in the design of drug leads with diverse pharmacological features, particularly in the area of inflammatory diseases. Herein, the preparation of chromanone-based derivatives (4a-4i) was smoothly achieved, and their structures were characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and ESI-HRMS spectroscopy techniques. Out of them, analogue 4e exhibited the most potent inhibitory capacity against the NO release and iNOS expression, without apparent cytotoxicity. Our observations showed that 4e could dramatically prevent the translocation of NF-κB from the cytoplasm to nucleus, and decrease the production of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in LPS-induced BV-2 cells. Mechanistically, 4e significantly deactivated NF-κB by disturbing TLR4-mediated TAK1/NF-κB and PI3K/Akt signaling cascades. Consistent with the in vitro study, 4e could effectively mitigate the inflammation response of hippocampal tissue in LPS-induced mouse model by inhibiting microglial activation. Collectively, these results revealed 4e as a prospective neuroprotective candidate for the therapy of neuroinflammation-related disorders.

Abstract
Asymmetric radical bicyclization processes have been developed via metalloradical catalysis (MRC) to stereoselectively construct chiral chromanones and chromanes bearing fused cyclopropanes. Through optimization of a versatile D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin ligand platform, a Co(II)-metalloradical system can homolytically activate both diazomalonates and α-aryldiazomethanes containing different alkene functionalities under mild conditions for effective radical bicyclization, delivering cyclopropane-fused tricyclic chromanones and chromanes, respectively, in high yields with excellent control of both diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. Combined computational and experimental studies, including the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detection and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) trapping of key radical intermediates, shed light on the working details of the underlying stepwise radical mechanisms of the Co(II)-catalyzed bicyclization processes. The two catalytic radical processes provide effective synthetic tools for stereoselective construction of valuable cyclopropane-fused chromanones and chromanes with newly generated contiguous stereogenic centers. As a specific demonstration of synthetic application, the Co(II)-catalyzed radical bicyclization has been employed as a key step for the first asymmetric total synthesis of the natural product (+)-Radulanin J.

Abstract
Based on a multitarget strategy, a series of novel chromanone-1-benzyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin hybrids were identified for the potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Biological evaluation demonstrated that these hybrids exhibited significant inhibitory activities toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B). The optimal compound C10 possessed excellent dual AChE/MAO-B inhibition both in terms of potency and equilibrium (AChE: IC50 = 0.58 ± 0.05 μM; MAO-B: IC50 = 0.41 ± 0.04 μM). Further molecular modeling and kinetic investigations revealed that compound C10 was a dual-binding inhibitor bound to both the catalytic anionic site and peripheral anionic site of AChE. In addition, compound C10 exhibited low neurotoxicity and potently inhibited AChE enzymatic activity. Furthermore, compound C10 more effectively protected against mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidation than donepezil, strongly inhibited AChE-induced amyloid aggregation, and moderately reduced glutaraldehyde-induced phosphorylation of tau protein in SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, compound C10 displayed largely enhanced improvements in cognitive behaviors and spatial memory in a scopolamine-induced AD mice model with better efficacy than donepezil. Overall, the multifunctional profiles of compound C10 suggest that it deserves further investigation as a promising lead for the prospective treatment of AD.

Abstract
ortho-Quinone methides (o-QMs) underwent formal [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions with arylallenes regioselectively at the styrenyl olefin to furnish the corresponding 3-methylene-2-arylchromans in moderate to good yields (up to 88%). When R ≠ H, the reactions also proceeded with moderate stereoselectivity (up to 5:1) which was governed by the nature of the R group. The 3-methylene-2-arylchromans could serve as common intermediates for further functionalization including epoxidation, oxidative cleavage/Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, Riley oxidation, acid-catalyzed rearrangement, and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to furnish the corresponding derivatives in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
A novel series of 14 spiropyrrolidines bearing thiochroman-4-one/chroman-4-one, and oxindole/acenaphthylene-1,2-dione moieties were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques, as well as by three X-ray diffraction studies, corroborating the stereochemistry. Quantum chemical calculations studies, using the DFT approach, were performed to rationalize the stereochemical outcome. These N-heterocycles were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against some pathogenic organisms. Several compounds displayed moderate to excellent activity towards the screened microbe strains in the study compared to Amoxicillin (AMX), Ampicillin (AMP), and Amphotericin B. Furthermore, a structural activity relationship (SAR) was established considering the synthesized compounds. Pharmacokinetic studies reveal that these derivatives exhibit an acceptable predictive ADMET profile (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity) and good drug-likeness.

Abstract
Aim: Literature reports suggest spirochromanone derivatives exhibit anticancer activity. Methodology: The authors designed and synthesized 18 spirochromanone derivatives (Csp 1-18). The compounds were characterized and evaluated for anticancer activity against human breast cancer (MCF-7) and murine melanoma (B16F10) cell lines. Results: The anticancer activity ranged from 4.34 to 29.31 μm. The most potent compounds, Csp 12 and Csp 18, were less toxic against the human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell line and ∼ two/∼four fold selective toward MCF-7 than B16F10 in comparison to the reference, BG-45. Csp 12 caused 28.6% total apoptosis, leading to significant cytotoxicity, and arrested the G2 phase of the cell cycle in B16F10 cells. A molecular docking study of Csp 12 exhibited effective binding at the active site of the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase domain. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of spirochromanones as anticancer agents.
