Abstract
Dietary plants are an indispensable part of the human diet, and the various natural active compounds they contain, especially polyphenols, polysaccharides, and amino acids, have always been a hot topic of research among nutritionists. As precursors to polyphenolic substances in dietary plants, chalcones are not only widely distributed but also possess a variety of biological activities due to their unique structure. However, there has not yet been a comprehensive article summarizing the biological activities and mechanisms of dietary chalcones. This review began by discussing the dietary sources and bioavailability of chalcones, providing a comprehensive description of their biological activities and mechanisms of action in antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, and resistance to pathogenic microbes. Additionally, based on the latest research findings, some future research strategies and challenges for dietary chalcones have been proposed, including computer-aided design and molecular docking, targeted biosynthesis and derivative design, interactions between the gut microbiota and chalcones, as well as clinical research. It is expected that this review will contribute to supplementing the scientific understanding of dietary chalcones and promoting their practical application and the development of new food products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a devastating disease. Many studies have shown that the primary causes of the aggressive and resistant types of cancer are the overexpression of receptors and growth factors, activation of oncogenes, and the inactivation of tumour suppressor genes. One such receptor is the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is used as a drug target for the treatment of cancer. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop the new chemical entities of amide derivatives of chalcone as EGFR inhibitors using structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, molecular docking, and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) studies. METHOD New chemical entities (NCE) were designed based on literature findings. The Schrodinger 13.4 software was used for the molecular docking study. While Quickprop and Pro Tox-II online tools were used for ADME and toxicity prediction, respectively. . RESULT In this work, all compounds were subjected to an in-silico ADMET analysis. After pharmacokinetic and toxicity profile predictions, the molecules were further analysed by molecular docking. As a result of molecular docking, molecules AC9 and AC19 showed comparable docking scores compared to standard Afatinib. CONCLUSION Molecules AC9 and AC19 showed good docking scores and a promising ADMET profile. In the future, these derivatives can be further evaluated for wet lab studies and determination of their biological activity.

Abstract
A new series of 1,3,5-trisubstituted 2-pyrazoline derivatives (3a-l) are synthesized in good to excellent yields from the corresponding chalcones (1a-h) and acid hydrazides (2a-e) in polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400) as a green reaction medium. The newly synthesized 2-pyrazoline derivatives are screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. The synthesized trisubstituted pyrazolines displayed moderate to good antibacterial and antifungal properties as compared with the standard reference penicillin and fluconazole drugs. Additionally, the antioxidant potential of the 1,3,5-trisubstituted 2-pyrazolines is evaluated by OH and DPPH assay. The 1,3,5-trisubstituted 2-pyrazolines showed good radical scavenger activity and were found as good antioxidant agents.

Abstract
An increased number antibiotic-resistant bacteria have emerged with the rise in antibiotic use worldwide. As such, there has been a growing interest in investigating novel antibiotics against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Due to the extensive history of using plants for medicinal purposes, scientists and medical professionals have turned to plants as potential alternatives to common antibiotic treatments. Unlike other antibiotics in use, plant-based antibiotics have the innate ability to eliminate a broad spectrum of microorganisms through phytochemical defenses, including compounds such as alkaloids, organosulfur compounds, phenols, coumarins, and terpenes. In recent years, these antimicrobial compounds have been refined through extraction methods and tested against antibiotic-resistant strains of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The results of the experiments demonstrated that plant extracts successfully inhibited bacteria independently or in combination with other antimicrobial products. In this review, we examine the use of plant-based antibiotics for their utilization against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. In addition, we examine recent clinical trials utilizing phytochemicals for the treatment of several microbial infections.

Abstract
The greatest threat and medicinal impact within gram-positive pathogens are posed by two bacterial genera, Staphylococcus and Enterococcus. Chalcones have a wide range of biological activities and are recognized as effective templates in medicinal chemistry. This study provides comprehensive insight into the anti-staphylococcal and anti-enterococcal activities of two recently published brominated and chlorinated pyrazine-based chalcones, CH-0y and CH-0w. Their effects against 4 reference and 12 staphylococcal and enterococcal clinical isolates were evaluated. Bactericidal action, the activity in combination with selected conventional antibiotics, the study of post-antimicrobial effect (PAE, PAE/SME), and in vitro and in vivo toxicity, were included. In CH-0y, anti-staphylococcal activity ranging from MIC = 15.625 to 62.5 μM, and activity against E. faecium from 31.25 to 62.5 μM was determined. In CH-0w, anti-staphylococcal activity ranging from 31.25 to 125 μM, and activity against E. faecium and E. faecalis (62.5 μM) was revealed. Both CH-0y and CH-0w showed bactericidal action, beneficial impact on bacterial growth delay within PAE and PAE/SME studies, and non/low toxicity in vivo. Compared to CH-0w, CH-0y seems to have higher anti-staphylococcal and less toxic potential. In conclusion, chalcones CH-0y and CH-0w could be considered as structural pattern for future adjuvants to selected antibiotic drugs.

Abstract
We sought the crystal packing preferences of the chalcone scaffold by analyzing 232 single-component crystal structures of chalcones with a small (six or fewer non-hydrogen atoms) substituent on either or both rings, including the unsubstituted molecule. This covers 216 molecules, as some are polymorphic, and 277 independent molecular conformations, as 16% of the crystal structures have more than one symmetry independent molecule. Quantum mechanical conformational profiles of the unsubstituted molecule and the almost 5000 crystal structures within 20 kJ mol-1 of the global minimum generated in a crystal structure prediction (CSP) study have been used to complement this analysis. Although π conjugation would be expected to favor a planar molecule, there are a significant number of crystal structures containing nonplanar molecules with an approximately 50° angle between the aromatic rings. The relative orientations of the molecules in the inversion-related dimers and translation-related dimers in the experimental crystal structures show the same trends as in the CSP-generated structures for the unsubstituted molecule, allowing for the substituent making the side-to-side distances larger. There is no type of dimer geometry associated with particularly favorable lattice energies for the chalcone core. Less than a third of the experimental structures show a face-to-face contact associated with π···π stacking. Analysis of the experimental crystal structures with XPac and Mercury finds various pairs of isostructural crystals, but the largest isostructural set had only 15 structures, with all substituents (mainly halogens) in the para position. The most common one-dimensional motif, found in half of the experimental crystal structures, is a translation-related side-to-side packing, which can be adopted by all the observed conformations. This close-packed motif can be adopted by chalcones with a particularly wide variety of substituents as the substituents are at the periphery. Thus, although the crystal structures of the substituted chalcones show thermodynamically plausible packings of the chalcone scaffold, there is little evidence for any crystal engineering principle of preferred chalcone scaffold packing beyond close packing of the specific molecule.

Abstract
Azulene-containing chalcones have been synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. Their chemical structure has been established by spectroscopic methods where the 1H-NMR spectra suggested that the title chalcones were geometrically pure and configured trans (J = 15 Hz). The influence of functional groups from azulene-containing chalcones on the biological activity of the 2-propen-1-one unit was investigated for the first time. This study presents optical and fluorescent investigations, QSAR studies, and biological activity of 10 novel compounds. These chalcones were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results revealed that most of the synthesized compounds showed inhibition against Gram-negative microorganisms, independent of the substitution of azulene scaffold. Instead, all azulene-containing chalcones exhibited good antifungal activity against Candida parapsilosis, with MIC values ranging between 0.156 and 0.312 mg/mL. The most active compound was chalcone containing azulene moieties on both sides of the 2-propene-1-one bond, exhibiting good activity against both bacteria-type strains and good antifungal activity. This antifungal activity combined with low toxicity makes azulene-containing chalcones a new class of bioorganic compounds.

Abstract
According to the latest report released by the World Health Organization, bacterial resistance to well-known and widely available antibacterial drugs has become a significant and severe global health concern and a grim challenge to tackle in order to cure infections associated with multidrug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms efficiently. Consequently, various strategies have been orchestrated to cure the severe complications related to multidrug-resistant bacteria effectively. Some approaches involved the retardation of biofilm formation and multidrug-resistance pumps in bacteria as well as the discovery of new antimicrobial agents demonstrating different mechanisms of action. In this regard, natural products namely alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, anthraquinone, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, etc., have been suggested to tackle the multidrug-resistant bacterial strains owing to their versatile pharmacological effects. Amongst these, flavonoids, also known as polyphenolic compounds, have been widely evaluated for their antibacterial property due to their tendency to retard the growth of a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, including multidrug-resistant bacteria. The hydroxylation of C5, C7, C3′, and C4′; and geranylation or prenylation at C6 have been extensively studied to increase bacterial inhibition of flavonoids. On the other hand, methoxylation at C3′ and C5 has been reported to decrease flavonoids’ antibacterial action. Hence, the latest information on the antibacterial activity of flavonoids is summarized in this review, with particular attention to the structure–activity relationship of this broad class of natural compounds to discover safe and potent antibacterial agents as natural products.

Abstract
The crisis of antibiotic resistance necessitates creative and innovative approaches, from chemical identification and analysis to the assessment of bioactivity. Plant natural products (NPs) represent a promising source of antibacterial lead compounds that could help fill the drug discovery pipeline in response to the growing antibiotic resistance crisis. The major strength of plant NPs lies in their rich and unique chemodiversity, their worldwide distribution and ease of access, their various antibacterial modes of action, and the proven clinical effectiveness of plant extracts from which they are isolated. While many studies have tried to summarize NPs with antibacterial activities, a comprehensive review with rigorous selection criteria has never been performed. In this work, the literature from 2012 to 2019 was systematically reviewed to highlight plant-derived compounds with antibacterial activity by focusing on their growth inhibitory activity. A total of 459 compounds are included in this Review, of which 50.8% are phenolic derivatives, 26.6% are terpenoids, 5.7% are alkaloids, and 17% are classified as other metabolites. A selection of 183 compounds is further discussed regarding their antibacterial activity, biosynthesis, structure-activity relationship, mechanism of action, and potential as antibiotics. Emerging trends in the field of antibacterial drug discovery from plants are also discussed. This Review brings to the forefront key findings on the antibacterial potential of plant NPs for consideration in future antibiotic discovery and development efforts.

Abstract
The main goal of this work was to evaluate the in vitro biological activity of two ferrocenyl chalcones (FcC-1 and FcC-2) against Haemonchus contortus (third-stage larvae (L3)) and Nacobbus aberrans (second-stage juveniles (J2)). Both compounds were synthesized and characterized by usual spectroscopic methods and their molecular structures were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Nematode strains were examined in terms of percentage mortality of H. contortus (L3) by the action of FcC-1, which showed an effectivity of 100% at a concentration of 342 μM in 24 h, with EC50 = 20.33 μM and EC90 = 162.76 μM, whereas FcC-2 had an effectivity of 72% at a concentration of 342 μM in 24 h, with EC50 = 167.39 μM and EC90 = 316.21 μM. The effect of FcC-1 against nematode phytoparasite N. aberrans showed a better percentage of 95% at a concentration of 342 μM, with EC50 = 7.18 μM and EC90 = 79.25 μM, whereas the effect of FcC-2 was 87% at 342 μM, with EC50 = 168 μM and EC90 = 319.56 μM at 36 h. After treatment, the scanning electron micrographs revealed deformities in the dorsal flank and posterior part close to the tail of H. contortus L3. They showed moderate in vitro nematicidal activity against H. contortus L3 and N. aberrans J2.

Abstract
The flavonoids by their natural properties and their diverse applications are a group of
compounds whose study of origin, characteristics and applications has been dedicated to extensive
research. For the organic synthesis of chalcones, due to their interest as precursor molecules of different
compounds, several pathways have been developed and reported in numerous works. Analyses
on the effect of some of these catalysts on chalcone yield (%), with respect to time and reaction temperature
are presented here. Given the importance of flavon-3-ols, as compounds of pharmacological
interest mainly, new synthesis routes are proposed, in addition to the existing ones. This paper presents
the main pathways for the synthesis of chalcones and analyzes their production. New routes for
the synthesis of flavon-3-ols that follow the Claisen-Schmidt condensation and the interconversion of
melacacidin are proposed.

Abstract
Generally, highly selective COX-2 inhibitors cause cardiovascular side effects. Celecoxib is the highly marketed coxib, so there is still a need for the synthesis of COX-2 inhibitors with less adverse effects. Moreover, low-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT) is clinically used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of a novel series of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives alone or combined with LD-RT with a single dose of 0.5 Gy. Initially, in vitro COX-1/COX-2 inhibition assays were performed, identifying the sulfonamide-containing compounds 5-10 as the most potent candidates, with IC50 values in the range of 0.32-0.37 µM and the highest selectivity indices. These compounds and celecoxib were subjected to in vivo examination after their safety was assessed through the acute toxicity test. Treatment with compounds 5-10 inhibited carrageenan-induced edema by nearly 47-56%, which was nearly equivalent to celecoxib. Compounds 7 and 8 and celecoxib showed an analgesic activity of 64.15%, 49.05%, and 84.90%, respectively, whereas compounds 5, 6, 9, and 10 did not show any analgesic activity unless combined with LD-RT. Ulcerogenic activity, histological paw examination, and docking studies were performed. Compounds 5-10 were nearly similar to celecoxib, showing normal histological features with no ulcerogenic activity.

Abstract
There is a growing body of evidence that flavonoids show antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The mechanisms of action of phenolic compounds on bacterial cell have been partially attributed to damage to the bacterial membrane, inhibition of virulence factors such as enzymes and toxins, and suppression of bacterial biofilm formation. What is more, some natural polyphenols, aside from direct antibacterial activity, exert a synergistic effect when combined with common chemotherapeutics. Many studies have proved that in synergy with antibiotics plant flavonoids pose a promising alternative for therapeutic strategies against drug resistant bacteria. In this review most recent reports on antimicrobial action of polyphenols on Staphylococcus aureus strains are described, highlighting where proven, the mechanisms of action and the structure–activity relationships. Since many reports in this field are, to some extent, conflicting, a unified in vitro and in vivo susceptibility testing algorithms should be introduced to ensure the selection of effective antibacterial polyphenolic compounds with low cytotoxicity and minimal side effects.

Abstract
Novel benzylidenes (chalcones) of the 16-dehydroprogesterone series have been characterized and their antitumor activity against two breast cancer cell lines was evaluated. Benzylidenes exhibit significant antiproliferative effect on cells and inhibit cell growth in hormone-dependent MCF-7 and hormone-independent MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Compound 3d exhibits the highest activity against two breast cancer cell lines, with the IC50 value of about 2 µM. Compounds 3e,m,n display considerable selectivity for hormone-dependent breast cancer cells, with the IC50 value lower than 6 µM. Moreover, these steroidal benzylidenes regulate ERα signaling and reveal p53-independent mechanism of pro-apoptotic action in MCF-7 cells. The new class of antitumor compounds holds promise as the basis for the design of agents for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Biotransformations are an alternative method of receiving dihydrochalcones as a result of the reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones - chalcones. In presented research, two strains of bacteria - Gordonia sp. DSM44456 and Rhodococcus sp. DSM364 - were selected as effective biocatalysts that are able to transform chalcones in a short period of time. As a result of our investigation 3 new dihydrochalcones and one novel alcohol were obtained with high isolated yields. All 4'-methylchalcone derivatives and biotransformations products were tested for antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC10536, Staphylococcus aureus DSM799, Candida albicans DSM1386, Alternaria alternata CBS1526, Fusarium linii KB-F1, and Aspergillus niger DSM1957. The best inhibitory effect was observed for all chalcones against E. coli ATCC10536 - compounds 1-6 and 8 prevented thorough growth of this strain (ΔOD = 0). Moreover, dihydrochalcones showed about 2-3 times stronger inhibitory effect against S. aureus DSM799 in comparison to their chalcones. Excluding the E. coli ATCC10536 strain, 3-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1-(4-methylphenyl)propan-1-ol (8b) had weaker biological activity than 4-carboxy-4'-methyl-α,β-dihydrochalcone (8a).

Abstract
1,2,4-Trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles have been synthesized by the Cu(OTf)2- and I2-catalyzed unusual C-C bond cleavage of chalcones and benzylamines. After the α,β-unsaturated C-C bond cleavage, the β-portion is eliminated from the reaction. Various aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted chalcones and benzylamines were well tolerated in this unusual transformation to yield the trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles.

Abstract
New derivatives of licochalcone A were synthesized and evaluated for their potential anticancer activities. Compounds 6 (( E)-N-(4-(3-(5-bromo-4-hydroxy-2-methoxy phenyl) acryloyl) phenyl)-4-isopropylbenzamide) and 8 (1-(3-dimethylamino-phenyl)-3-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propenone) showed potent activity against the screened cancer cell lines with that of compound 6 ranging from 6.9 ± 0.2 μM to 22.9 ± 3.1 μM, and that of compound 8 from 4.2 ± 0.5 μM to 11.8 ± 0.7 μM. Both compounds showed stronger cytotoxicity than that of licochalcone A. These two candidates have very different substituents and could be considered as promising lead compounds for further development of potent anticancer agents.

Abstract
This study described a valuable drug delivery system for poorly water-soluble anticancer naturalproduct, licochalcone A, isolated from Glycyrrhiza inflata, loaded on hollow gold nanoparticles by green method to improve solubility and dissolution and maintain its natural pharmacological property. Briefly, the formation of hollow gold nanoparticles involves three steps: preparing of silica nanospheres by Stober method, forming of a thick gold shell around the silica templates and etching of silica particles by HF solution. Hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNPs) and drug loaded hollow gold nanoparticles (L-HGNPs) displayed spherical structure and approximately 200nm in size observed by SEM, XRD, EDS and DSC analysis showed that HGNPs were gold hollow structure and crystalline form. The solubility in aqueous solution of licochalcone A was increased obviously to 488.9 μg/ml, compared with free drugs of 136.1 μg/ml. Another interesting finding is that near-infrared (NIR) irradiation increased the speed of solubility of licochalcone A in aqueous solutions, rather than quantity. In short, the method of nano-delivery system combined with poorly water-soluble drug to improve its solubility and dissolution is worth applying to other natural products in order to increase their opportunities in clinical applications.

Abstract
Medicinal chemists continue to be fascinated by chalcone derivatives because of their simple chemistry, ease of hydrogen atom manipulation, straightforward synthesis, and a variety of promising biological activities. However, chalcones have still not garnered deserved attention, especially considering their high potential as chemical sources for designing and developing new effective drugs. In this review, we summarize current methodological developments towards the design and synthesis of new chalcone derivatives and state-of-the-art medicinal chemistry strategies (bioisosterism, molecular hybridization, and pro-drug design). We also highlight the applicability of computer-assisted drug design approaches to chalcones and address how this may contribute to optimizing research outputs and lead to more successful and cost-effective drug discovery endeavors. Lastly, we present successful examples of the use of chalcones and suggest possible solutions to existing limitations.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a very common disease of vital importance. In the MS treatment, some drugs such as fingolimod which help to protect nerves from damage are used. The main goal of the drug therapy in MS is to take control of the inflammation which leads to the destruction of myelin and axons in nerve cell and thus prevent and stop the progression of the disease. Fingolimod (FTY720) is an orally active immunomodulatory drug that has been used for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator which prevents lymphocytes from contributing to an autoimmune reaction by inhibiting egress of lymphocytes them from lymph nodes. In this study, we have computer designed, synthesized and characterized two novel derivatives of FTY720, F1-12h and F2-9, and have determined their underlying mechanism of their beneficial effect in SH-SY5Y, SK-N-SH, and U-118 MG cell lines. For this purpose, we first determined the regulation of the cAMP response element (CRE) activity and cAMP concentration by F1-12h and F2-9 together with FTY720 using pGL4.29 luciferase reporter assay and cAMP immunoassay, respectively. Then, we have determined their effect on MS- and GPCR-related gene expression profiles using custom arrays along with FTY720 treatment at non-toxic doses (EC10). It was found that both derivatives significantly activate CRE and increase cAMP concentration in all three cell lines, indicating that they activate cAMP pathway through cell surface receptors as FTY720 does. Furthermore, F1-12h and F2-9 modulate the expression of the pathway related genes that are important in inflammatory signaling, cAMP signaling pathway, cell migration as well as diverse receptor and transcription factors. Expression of the genes involved in myelination was also increased by the treatment with F1-12h and F2-9. In summary, our data demonstrate that the two novel FTY720 derivatives act as anti-inflammatory ultimately by influencing the gene expression via the cAMP and downstream transcription factor CRE pathway. In conclusion, F1-12h and F2-9 might contribute future therapies for autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Chalcones, i.e., compounds with the chemical pattern of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-ones, exert a wide range of bio-activities, e.g., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-infective etc. Our research group has been focused on pyrazine analogues of chalcones; several series have been synthesized and tested in vitro on antifungal and antimycobacterial activity. The highest potency was exhibited by derivatives with electron withdrawing groups (EWG) in positions 2 and 4 of the ring B. As halogens also have electron withdrawing properties, novel halogenated derivatives were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation. All compounds were submitted for evaluation of their antifungal and antibacterial activity, including their antimycobacterial effect. In the antifungal assay against eight strains of selected fungi, growth inhibition of Candida glabrata and Trichophyton interdigitale (formerly T. mentagrophytes) was shown by non-alkylated derivatives with 2-bromo or 2-chloro substitution. In the panel of selected bacteria, 2-chloro derivatives showed the highest inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus sp. In addition, all products were also screened for their antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV My 331/88, M. kansasii My 235/80, M. avium 152/80 and M. smegmatis CCM 4622. Some of the examined compounds, inhibited growth of M. kansasii and M. smegmatis with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) comparable with those of isoniazid.
