Abstract
Abstract
Background
Various literature sources have documented a wide spectrum of therapeutic properties of sydnones including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial activities. Phenyl styryl ketones and their derivatives as members of the chalcone family have also been reported as significant bioactive molecules. The current study was initiated to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of sydnone-based compounds including some novel bis-sydnone styryl ketone hybrids.
Results
Twenty-five sydnone-containing compounds were successfully synthesized. Compounds 46-48 and 56-58 were reported as new sydnone derivatives. Whereas, compounds 61-63 were synthesized as novel molecules containing two sydnone rings linked via α,β-unsaturated ketone. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ToF-MS analyses. The in vitro COX inhibition assay showed varied activity. Compounds 47, 51, 58 and 63 showed the most potent COX inhibitory effects at a concentration of 200 μM. The selectivity index revealed that 63 was the best selective COX-2 inhibitor. Acetylation of the sydnone ring at C-4 was fruitful for the COX inhibitory effects. Docking analysis showed that COX-2 selectivity was due to a favourable positive charged interaction occurring between the sydnone ring of 63 and Arg513 of COX-2. Compound 51 was hydrogen bonded to Arg513. On the other hand, the low inhibitory effect of 63 against COX-1 was due to an unfavourable polar interaction with His513 in the binding pocket of COX-1.
Conclusions
The compounds were successfully synthesized and characterized. Compound 63 had a common architecture and pharmacophoric features with known selective COX-2 inhibitors (the coxib family) which make it a suitable candidate for the designing of selective and safe NSAID.

Bis- and mono-substituted Chalcones exert anti-feedant and toxic effects on fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda. Saudi J Biol Sci 2021; 28:5754-5759. [PMID: 34588887 PMCID: PMC8459053 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2021.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Spodoptera frugiperda is a highly polyphagous migratory lepidopteran pest species. It causes infestation in crops leading to the severe crop losses. Being a new invasive parasite, its susceptibility to insecticides needs to be explored; and therefore, there is an urgent need to develop the potent insecticides for the effective control of this insect pest. To attain the crop sustainability, the antifeedant, toxicity and nutritional effects on larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda were studied with six mono- and eight bis- substituted chalcones. The antifeedant activity was calculated when 50% of the larvae control ate 50% of the diet through the FR factor. Toxicity was assessed through larval, pupal mortality and the emergence of adults and nutritional effects with consumption rates (IC), growth (GR) and consumption efficiency (EIC). The bis-chalcones 6b, 6e, 6f and 6h caused lethal effect on S. frugiperda in the first larval stages, being 6b the most toxic (85%). Adults who survived showed malformations and decreased size, which led to death. The larvae fed with aggregate in the bis-chalcones diet: 6b, 6e and 6f had the highest percentage of intake and the poorest conversion of nutrient absorption (ECI), which suggests that the larva metabolizes food for energy and results in a decrease of growth and death in early stages. Bis-chalcones showed more toxicity than mono-chalcones and 6b causes the most toxic and dietary change.

Chalcones Isolated from Arrabidaea brachypoda Flowers as Inhibitors of NorA and MepA Multidrug Efflux Pumps of Staphylococcus aureus. Antibiotics (Basel) 2020; 9:antibiotics9060351.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a public health issue around the world. The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of chalcones isolated from flowers of Arrabidaea brachypoda, and their potential as efflux pump inhibitors of Staphylococcus aureus efflux pumps. Microdilution assays were performed with natural products from A. brachypoda. Chalcones 1, 3, 4, and 5 did not show intrinsic antimicrobial activity against all S. aureus strains tested, but they were able to potentiate the Norfloxacin action against the SA1199-B (norA) strain, with a better modulating action for the 4 trimethoxylated chalcone. All chalcones were also able to potentiate the action of EtBr against SA1199-B strain, suggesting a potential NorA inhibition. Moreover, chalcone 4 was able to interfere in the activity of MepA, and interfered weakly in the QacA/B activity. Molecular docking analyzes showed that tested chalcones are capable of binding in the hydrophobic cavity of NorA and MepA, in the same Norfloxacin binding site, indicating that chalcone 4 compete with the antibiotic for the same NorA and MepA binding sites. Association of chalcone 4 with Norfloxacin could be an alternative against multidrug resistant S. aureus over-productive of NorA or MepA.

Abstract
Seven new 2,4,6-triarylpyrimidines were synthesized and their solvatofluorochromism investigated in 12 solvents and in an aqueous micellar solution of reduced Triton X-100. A multiparametric analysis of their emission band showed that the solvent dipolarity and basicity were mainly responsible for their solvatofluorochromism, which arose from an internal charge-transfer from a donor fragment to the pyrimidine acceptor, confirmed by theoretical calculations. In the micellar system, quenching of their fluorescence by addition of derivatives of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxyl (TEMPO) radical was investigated and the results were consistent with the spectral changes brought about by the micro-heterogeneous system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lactones are well known for their biological activity. Grosheimin and repin are potent deterrents against storage pests. The unsaturated lactones have exhibited a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity. In our study we focused on the synthesis and evaluation of the biological activity of anisaldehyde derivatives containing lactone function. RESULTS Four new lactones were synthesized in one-step reductive dehalogenation or dehydrohalogenation reactions. These compounds, together with halolactones synthesized earlier, were tested for their antifeedant activity towards Sitophilus granaries, Trogoderma granarium and Tribolium confusum. The results of the tests showed that the highest activity, comparable with that of azadirachtin, towards all tested pests (total coefficient of deterrence 143.3-183.9) was observed for lactone with a vinyl substituent. The antibacterial activity of these compounds was also evaluated. The most potent lactone was active towards gram-positive bacteria strains. CONCLUSIONS The results of biological tests showed that halogen atom removal significantly increased the antifeedant properties of γ-lactones with a p-methoxyphenyl substituent. Unsaturated lactones are most promising in the context of their possible industrial application as crop protection agents. Further structural modifications of lactones with aromatic rings are needed to find important structural factors increasing the antibacterial activity.
