Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) have become a significant target in the search for an efficient treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Chalcone-based compounds display a strong potency to hinder AChE. So, this study focused on the synthesis of a series of new chalcone derivatives with anti-cholinesterase potential and their structures were characterized based on spectroscopic methods including IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. Chalcone derivatives were screened against AChE. Most of them exhibited potent inhibitory activity against AChE. Compound 11i showed the most potent activity toward acetylcholinesterase compared to the positive compound, Galantamine. Docking studies into the active site of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme ravealed the significant docking score of the synthesized compounds with docking score of -7.959 to -9.277 kcal/mol when compared to the co-crystallized ligand, Donepezil (-10.567 kcal/mol). The interaction's stability was further assessed using a conventional atomistic 100 ns dynamics simulation study, which revealed the conformational stability of representative compound 11i in the cavity of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Chalcones are flavonoid-related aromatic ketones and enones generated from plants. The chalcones have a wide range of biological activities, such as anti-tumor, calming, and antimicrobial activities. In the present review, we have focused on the recently published original research articles on chalcones as a unique antibacterial framework in medicinal chemistry. Chalcones are structurally diverse moieties and can be split into simple and hybrid chalcones, with both having core pharmacophore 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one. Chalcones are isolated from natural sources and also synthesized by using various methods. Their structure-activity relationship, mechanisms, and list of patents are also summarized in this paper. This review article outlines the currently published antimicrobial chalcone hybrids and suggests that chalcone derivatives may be potential antimicrobial agents in the future.

Abstract
Compounds bearing thiazole and chalcone groups have been reported to be excellent leads for antibacterial, antitubercular and anticancer activities. In view of this, we performed quantitative structure-activity relationship studies using QSARINS for dataset preparation and for developing validated QSAR models that can predict novel series of thiazole-chalcone hybrids and further evaluate them for bioactivities. The molecular descriptors AATS8i, AVP-1, MoRSEE17 and GATSe7 were found to be active in predicting the structure-activity relationship. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies of the developed leads have shown insights into structural analysis. Furthermore, computational studies using AutoDock and Desmond predicted the key binding interactions responsible for the activity and the SwissADME tool computed the in silico drug likeliness properties. The lead compound 178 generated through this study creates a route for the optimization and development of novel drugs against tuberculosis infections. RMSD, RMSF, RoG, H-bond and SASA analysis confirmed the stable binding of compound 178 with the 6J90 structure. In addition, MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA also confirm the docking results. We propose the designed compound 178 as the best theoretical lead, which may further be experimentally studied for selective inhibition.

Abstract
A series of N-4 piperazinyl ciprofloxacin derivatives as urea-tethered ciprofloxacin-chalcone hybrids 2a-j and thioacetyl-linked ciprofloxacin-pyrimidine hybrids 5a-i were synthesized. The target compounds were investigated for their antibacterial activity against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and C. albicans strains, respectively. Ciprofloxacin derivatives 2a-j and 5a-i revealed broad antibacterial activity against either Gram positive or Gram negative strains, with MIC range of 0.06-42.23 µg/mL compared to ciprofloxacin with an MIC range of 0.15-3.25 µg/mL. Among the tested compounds, hybrids 2b, 2c, 5a, 5b, 5h, and 5i exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity with MIC range of 0.06-1.53 µg/mL against the tested bacterial strains. On the other hand, compounds 2c, 2e, 5c, and 5e showed comparable antifungal activity to ketoconazole against candida albicans with MIC range of 2.03-3.89 µg/mL and 2.6 µg/mL, respectively. Further investigations showed that some ciprofloxacin hybrids have inhibitory activity against DNA gyrase as potential molecular target compared to ciprofloxacin with IC50 range of 0.231 ± 0.01-7.592 ± 0.40 µM and 0.323 ± 0.02 µM, respectively. Docking studies of compounds 2b, 2c, 5b, 5c, 5e, 5h, and 5i on the active site of DNA gyrase (PDB: 2XCT) confirmed their ability to form stable complex with the target enzyme like that of ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
A novel series of pyrazolyl chalcones containing quinoline scaffold, 5 a-v has been synthesized by Claisen Schimdt condensation of aromatic acetophenone with 1-(4-methylquinolin-2-yl)-3-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde in quantitative yield. The compounds were characterized using IR, NMR, MS and elemental analysis. An E-configuration about CC ethylenic bond was determined using 1H NMR spectroscopy. These compounds exhibited significant antimalarial potential against CQ-sensitive and CQ-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Structure activity relationship has also been established based on outcomes of in vitro schizont inhibition assay. Compound 5u, (Z)-3-(1-(4-methylquinolin-2-yl)-3-p-tolyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-p-tolylprop-2-en-1-one, was found to be the most potent among the series of synthetic analogues. In vivo, it demonstrated significant parasitemia suppression of 78.01% at a dose of 200 mg/kg against P. berghei in infected mice without any mortality in 7 days. In silico molecular docking study revealed that this compound 5u bound to the active site of cysteine protease falcipain-2 enzyme. Furthermore, in silico ADME studies, were also performed and physicochemical qualifications of the title compounds were determined. The biological outcomes of newer heterocyclic compounds may pave the new paths for researchers in development of potential antimalarial agents.

Abstract
The main protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 is a promising target for discovery of novel antiviral agents. In this paper, new possible inhibitors of 3CLpro with high predicted binding affinity were detected through multistep computer-aided molecular design and bioisosteric replacements. For discovery of prospective 3CLpro binders several virtual ligand libraries were created and combined docking was performed. Moreover, the molecular dynamics simulation was applied for evaluation of protein-ligand complexes stability. Besides, important molecular properties and ADMET pharmacokinetic profiles of possible 3CLpro inhibitors were assessed by in silico prediction.

Abstract
Background Diabetes is one of the growing health problems worldwide, and scientists have been striving to find effective treatment methods. In this regard, chalcones have frequently been targeted by many researchers owing to their diverse biological activities. Methods Here, the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction was applied to synthesize five chalcone derivatives. The chalcone derivatives were evaluated for their relative antidiabetic activities in vivo using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Besides, the compounds were assessed for their reduction in postprandial hyperglycemia at 50 and 100 mg/kg dose levels against a standard drug, glibenclamide. In addition, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) was analyzed to determine the effect of structural modification in chalcones activity. Results A dose-dependent reduction in postprandial hyperglycemia was observed. The highest reduction in blood glucose level (BGL) was achieved by compound 3 at a dose of 100 mg/kg (39%). This was found to be even higher than glibenclamide (34.5%). In the STZ-induced diabetic animal model, all test compounds showed comparable efficacy with glibenclamide. The SAR analysis revealed that the incorporation of electron-donating groups at position 5 of the benzaldehyde ring and position 2 of the acetophenone ring is promising to increase the antihyperglycemic activities of chalcones. Conclusion The chalcone derivatives considered in this study could be used as potential lead compounds in the discovery of effective drugs to treat diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Compounds bearing thiazole and chalcone pharmacophores have been reported to possess excellent antitubercular and anticancer activities. In view of this, we designed, synthesized and characterized a novel series of thiazole-chalcone hybrids (1-20) and further evaluated them for antitubercular and antiproliferative activities by employing standard protocols. Among the twenty compounds, chalcones 12 and 7, containing 2,4-difluorophenyl and 2,4-dichlorophenyl groups, showed potential antitubercular activity higher than the standard pyrazinamide (MIC = 25.34 µM) with MICs of 2.43 and 4.41 µM, respectively. Chalcone 20 containing heteroaryl 2-thiazolyl moiety exhibited promising antiproliferative activity against the prostate cancer cell line (DU-145), higher than the standard methotrexate (IC50 = 11 ± 1 µM) with an IC50 value of 6.86 ± 1 µM. Furthermore, cytotoxicity studies of these compounds against normal human liver cell lines (L02) revealed that the target molecules were comparatively less selective against L02. Additional computational studies using AutoDock predicted the key binding interactions responsible for the activity and the SwissADME tool computed the in silico drug likeliness properties. The lead compounds generated through this study, create a way for the optimization and development of novel drugs against tuberculosis infections and prostate cancer.

Abstract
Title compound (PTPO) was synthesized by the reaction of 2-acetyl pyridine with 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzaldehyde. The structure of the compound has been confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. Interaction of chalcone with different metal cations was analyzed based on the fluorescence behavior. Results show that chalcone act as on-off switching fluorescent chemosensor for selective and sensitive detection iron metal ion. Mechanism of quenching and complexation were resolute by Benesi-Hildebrand, Stern-Volmer plot and Job-plot.
