Abstract
A novel series of α-cyano indolylchalcones was prepared, and their chemical structures were confirmed based on the different spectral data. Among them, compound 7f was observed to be the most effective bioactive chalcone with distinguished potency and selectivity against colorectal carcinoma (HCT116) with IC50 value (6.76 µg/mL) relative to the positive control (5 FU) (77.15 µg/mL). In a preliminary action study, the acrylonitrile chalcone 7f was found to enhance apoptotic action via different mechanisms like inhibition of some anti-apoptotic protein expression, regulation of some apoptotic proteins, production of caspases, and cell cycle arrest. All mechanisms suggested that compound 7f could act as a professional chemotherapeutic agent. Also, a molecular docking study was achieved on some selected proteins implicated in cancer (Caspase 9, XIAP, P53 mutant Y220C, and MDM2) which showed variable interactions with compound 7f with good Gibbs free energy scores.

Abstract
The need for innovative anticancer treatments with high effectiveness and low toxicity is urgent due to the development of malignancies that are resistant to chemotherapeutic agents and the poor specificity of existing anticancer treatments. Chalcones are 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones, which are the precursors for flavonoids and isoflavonoids. Chalcones are readily available from a wide range of natural resources and consist of very basic chemical scaffolds. Because the ease with which the synthesis it allows for the production of several chalcone derivatives. Various in-vitro and in-vivo studies indicate that naturally occurring and synthetic chalcone derivatives exhibit promising biological activities against cancer hallmarks such as proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis, inflammation, stemness, and regulation of cancer epigenetics. According to their structure and functional groups, chalcones derivatives and their hybrid compounds exert a broad range of biological activities through targeting key elements and signaling molecules relevant to cancer progression. This review will provide valuable insights into the latest updates of chalcone groups as anticancer agents and extensively discuss their underlying molecular mechanisms of action.

Abstract
A new series of 2,4-disubstituted thiazole derivatives containing 4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl) moiety was synthesized and evaluated for their potential anticancer activity as tubulin polymerization inhibitors. All designed compounds were screened for cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines, namely, HepG2, MCF-7, HCT116, and HeLa, using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay, with combretastatin A-4 as a reference drug. Compounds 5c, 6d, 7c, 8, and 9a,b showed superior activity against the tested cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 3.35 ± 0.2 to 18.69 ± 0.9 μM. Further investigation for the most active cytotoxic agents as tubulin polymerization inhibitors was also performed in order to explore the mechanism of their antiproliferative activity. The obtained results suggested that compounds 5c, 7c, and 9a remarkably inhibit tubulin polymerization, with IC50 values of 2.95 ± 0.18, 2.00 ± 0.12, and 2.38 ± 0.14 μM, respectively, which exceeded that of the reference drug combretastatin A-4 (IC50 2.96 ± 0.18 μM). Molecular docking studies were also conducted to investigate the possible binding interactions between the targeted compounds and the tubulin active site. The interpretation of the results showed clearly that compounds 7c and 9a were identified as the most potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors with promising cytotoxic activity and excellent binding mode in the docking study.

Abstract
Microtubules play an important role in the process of cell mitosis and can form a spindle in the mitotic prophase of the cell, which can pull chromosomes to the ends of the cell and then divide into two daughter cells to complete the process of mitosis. Tubulin inhibitors suppress cell proliferation by inhibiting microtubule dynamics and disrupting microtubule homeostasis. Thereby inducing a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and interfering with the mitotic process. It has been found that a variety of chalcone derivatives can bind to microtubule proteins and disrupt the dynamic balance of microtubules, inhibit the proliferation of tumour cells, and exert anti-tumour effects. Consequently, a great number of studies have been conducted on chalcone derivatives targeting microtubule proteins. In this review, synthetic or natural chalcone microtubule inhibitors in recent years are described, along with their structure-activity relationship (SAR) for anticancer activity.

Inhibition of XPO-1 Mediated Nuclear Export through the Michael-Acceptor Character of Chalcones. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14111131. [PMID: 34832913 PMCID: PMC8621101 DOI: 10.3390/ph14111131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The nuclear export receptor exportin-1 (XPO1, CRM1) mediates the nuclear export of proteins that contain a leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) towards the cytoplasm. XPO1 is considered a relevant target in different human diseases, particularly in hematological malignancies, tumor resistance, inflammation, neurodegeneration and viral infections. Thus, its pharmacological inhibition is of significant therapeutic interest. The best inhibitors described so far (leptomycin B and SINE compounds) interact with XPO1 through a covalent interaction with Cys528 located in the NES-binding cleft of XPO1. Based on the well-established feature of chalcone derivatives to react with thiol groups via hetero-Michael addition reactions, we have synthesized two series of chalcones. Their capacity to react with thiol groups was tested by incubation with GSH to afford the hetero-Michael adducts that evolved backwards to the initial chalcone through a retro-Michael reaction, supporting that the covalent interaction with thiols could be reversible. The chalcone derivatives were evaluated in antiproliferative assays against a panel of cancer cell lines and as XPO1 inhibitors, and a good correlation was observed with the results obtained in both assays. Moreover, no inhibition of the cargo export was observed when the two prototype chalcones 9 and 10 were tested against a XPO1-mutated Jurkat cell line (XPO1C528S), highlighting the importance of the Cys at the NES-binding cleft for inhibition. Finally, their interaction at the molecular level at the NES-binding cleft was studied by applying the computational tool CovDock.

Abstract
Despite the advances in treatment strategies, cancer is still the second leading cause of death in the USA. A majority of the currently used cancer drugs have limitations in their clinical use due to poor selectivity, toxic side effects and multiple drug resistance, warranting the development of new anticancer drugs of different mechanisms of action. Here we describe the design, synthesis and initial biological evaluation of a new class of antimitotic agents that modulate tubulin polymerization. Structurally, these compounds are chalcone mimics containing a 1-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)ethan-1-one moiety, which was initially introduced to act as a metal-binding group and inhibit histone deacetylase enzymes. Although several analogues selectively inhibited purified HDAC8 with IC50 values in low micromolar range, tissue culture studies suggest that HDAC inhibition is not a major mechanism responsible for cytotoxicity. The compounds demonstrated cell growth inhibition with GI50 values of upper nanomolar to low micromolar potency with significant selectively for cancer over normal cells. Interestingly, several compounds arrested HeLaM cells in mitosis and seem to target tubulin to cause mitotic arrest. For example, when combined with inhibitors of Aurora B kinase, they led to dramatic disassembly of the mitotic spindle. In-vitro tubulin polymerization studies showed that the compounds reduced the rate of polymerization of microtubules during the elongation phase and lowered the amount of polymerized tubulin during the plateau phase. Finally, in silico docking studies identified binding of IPE-7 to the colchicine site with similar affinity as the test compound D64131. These compounds represent a new antimitotic pharmacophore with limited HDAC inhibitory activity.

Abstract
Chalcones and their derivatives have been described as promising compounds with antiproliferative activity against leukemic cells. This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxic effect of three synthetic chalcones derived from 1-naphthylacetophenone (F07, F09, and F10) in acute leukemia cell lines (K562 and Jurkat) and examine the mechanisms of cell death induced by these compounds. The three compounds were cytotoxic to K562 and Jurkat cells, with IC50 values ranging from 1.03 to 31.66 µM. Chalcones induced intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis, resulting in activation of caspase-3 and DNA fragmentation. F07, F09, and F10 were not cytotoxic to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, did not produce any significant hemolytic activity, and did not affect platelet aggregation after ADP stimulation. These results, combined with calculations of molecular properties, suggest that chalcones F07, F09, and F10 are promising molecules for the development of novel antileukemic drugs.

Abstract
Chalcones (E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-ones, a class of biosynthetic precursor molecules of flavonoids, have a wide variety of biological applications. Besides the natural products, many synthetic derivatives and analogs became an object of continued interest in academia and industry. In this work, a synthesis and an extensive structural study were performed on a sulfonamide chalcone 1-Benzenesulfonyl-3-(4-bromobenzylidene)-2-(2-chlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinolin-4-one with potential antineoplastic application. In addition, in silico experiments have shown that the sulfonamide chalcone fits well in the ligand-binding site of EGFR with seven μ-alkyl binding energy interactions on the ligand-binding site. Finally, the kinetic stability and the pharmacophoric analysis for EGFR indicated the necessary spatial characteristics for potential activity of sulfonamide chalcone as an antagonist.

Abstract
An effective, diversity oriented, one-pot reaction of 4-amino-2-(het)aryl/alkyl-5-functionalized thiazoles has been disclosed, utilizing aryl/heteroaryl/alkyl dithioesters as thiocarbonyl coupling partners in a modified Thorpe-Ziegler type cyclization. The reaction proceeds at room temperature, under mild conditions, in excellent yields, displaying broad functional group compatibility at 2 and 5 positions of thiazoles. This synthetic strategy has been further expanded for the one-pot construction of two highly potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors, i.e., 2-(het)aryl-4-amino-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyaroyl) thiazoles, in high yields.

Abstract
In recent years, chalcones and their derivatives have become the focus of global scientists due to increasing evidence reported towards their potency in antitumor and anti-cancer. Here, the chalcones designed and synthesized in our present study were derived from the derivatives of naphthaldehyde and acetophenone. Both these precursors have been reported in demonstrating a certain degree of anticancer property. Also, the substituents on these precursors such as hydroxyl, methoxy, prenyl, and chloro were shown able to enhance the anticancer efficiency. Hence, it is the interest of the current study to investigate the anticancer potential of the hybrid molecules (chalcones) consisting of these precursors with different alkoxy substituents and with or without the fluorine moiety. Two series of chalcone derivatives were designed, synthesized, and characterized using the elemental analysis, IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, subsequently evaluated for their anti-cancer activity. Interestingly, the results showed that the fluorinated chalcones 11-15 exhibited stronger cytotoxic activity towards the breast cancer cell lines (4T1) compared to non-fluorinated chalcone derivatives. Remarkably, the selectivity index obtained for these fluorinated chalcones derivatives against the breast cancer 4T1 cell line was higher than those exhibited by cisplatin, which is one of the most frequently deployed chemotherapy agents in current medical practice. These findings could provide an insight towards the potential of fluorinated chalcones being developed as an anti-cancer agent with moderate activity towards breast cancer cell and low inhibition of fibroblast cell at a concentration of 100 μM.

[PMID: 32208222 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2020.112216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2019] [Revised: 03/07/2020] [Accepted: 03/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Inflammation is a complex biological response to stimuli. Activated macrophages induced excessively release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators such as endogenous radical nitric oxide (NO) play a significant role in the progression of multiple inflammatory diseases. Both natural and synthetic chalcones possess a wide range of bioactivities. In this work, thirty-nine chalcones and three related compounds, including several novel ones, based on bioactive kava chalcones were designed, synthesized and their inhibitory effects on NO production in RAW 264.7 cells were evaluated. The novel compound (E)-1-(2'-hydroxy-4',6'-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3-methoxy-4-(3-morpholinopropoxy)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (53) exhibited a better inhibitory activity (84.0%) on NO production at 10 μM (IC50 = 6.4 μM) with the lowest cytotoxicity (IC50 > 80 μM) among the tested compounds. Besides, western blot analysis indicated that compound 53 was a potent down-regulator of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein. Docking study revealed that compound 53 also can dock into the active site of iNOS. Furthermore, at the dose of 10 mg/kg/day, compound 53 could both significantly suppress the progression of inflammation on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) models. In addition, the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the kava chalcones based analogs was also depicted.

Abstract
A series of novel trimethoxyphenyl-derived chalcone-benzimidazolium salts were synthesized. The biological properties of the compounds were screened in vitro against five different human tumor cell lines. The results suggest that the 5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole or 2-methyl-benzimidazole ring as well as the 2-naphthylmethyl, 4-methylbenzyl, or 2-naphthylacyl substituent at position-3 of the benzimidazole ring was important to the cytotoxic activity. Notably, (E)-5,6-dimethyl-3-(naphthalen-2-ylmethyl)-1-(3-(4-(3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acryloyl)phenoxy)propyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium bromide (7f) was more selective to HL-60, MCF-7, and SW-480 cell lines with IC50 values 8.0-, 11.1-, and 5.8-fold lower than DDP. Studies of the antitumor mechanism of action showed that compound 7f could induce cell-cycle G1 phase arrest and apoptosis in SMMC-7721 cells.

Abstract
Microtubules are essential for the mitotic division of cells and have been an attractive target
for antitumour drugs due to the increased incidence of cancer and significant mitosis rate of tumour cells.
In the past few years, tubulin-colchicine binding site, as one of the three binding pockets including taxol-,
vinblastine- and colchicine-binding sites, has been focused on to design tubulin-destabilizing agents including
inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates and degradation agents. The present review is the first to
cover a systemic and recent synopsis of tubulin-colchicine binding site agents. We believe that it would
provide an increase in our understanding of receptor-ligand interaction pattern and consciousness of a
series of challenges about tubulin target druggability.

Abstract
Numerous members of the combretastatin and chalcone families of natural products function as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization through a binding interaction at the colchicine site on β-tubulin. These molecular scaffolds inspired the development of many structurally modified derivatives and analogues as promising anticancer agents. A productive design blueprint that involved molecular hybridization of the pharmacophore moieties of combretastatin A-4 (CA4) and the chalcones led to the discovery of two promising lead molecules referred to as KGP413 and SD400. The corresponding water-soluble phosphate prodrug salts of KGP413 and SD400 selectively damaged tumor-associated vasculature, thus highlighting the potential development of these molecules as vascular disrupting agents (VDAs). These previous studies prompted our current investigation of conformationally restricted chalcones. Herein, we report the synthesis of cyclic chalcones and related analogues that incorporate structural motifs of CA4, and evaluation of their cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines [NCI-H460 (lung), DU-145 (prostate), and SK-OV-3 (ovarian)]. While these molecules proved inactive as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization (IC50 > 20 μM), eight molecules demonstrated good antiproliferative activity (GI50 < 20 μM) against all three cancer cell lines, and compounds 2j and 2l demonstrated sub-micromolar cytotoxicity. To the best of our knowledge these molecules represent the most potent (based on GI50) cyclic chalcones known to date, and are promising lead molecules for continued investigation.

Abstract
A series of forty α-substituted chalcones were synthesized and screened for their antiproliferative activities against HCT116 (colorectal) and HCC1954 (breast) cancer cell lines. Compounds 5a and 5e were found to be the most potent compounds with GI50 values of 0.63 µM and 0.725 µM in HCC1954 cell line and 0.69 µM and 1.59 µM in HCT116 cell line, respectively. Both compounds induced a G2/M cell cycle arrest and caused apoptotic cell death in HCT116 cells as shown by the induction of PARP cleavage. The compounds also stabilized p53 in a dose-dependent manner in HCT116 cells following 24-hour treatment. Furthermore, both 5a and 5e were able to overcome multidrug resistance in two MDR-1 overexpressing multidrug resistant cell lines.

Abstract
The chalcone motif can be found in many molecules that contribute to essential biological processes, and many chalcone-containing compounds exhibit potent anti-cancer activity. Here, we synthesized two series of chalcone analogues (3a-s and 6a-s) based on substituting the chalcone B-ring or A-ring with a 4-oxoquinazolin-2-yl group, and then evaluated them for cytotoxic activity in human colorectal HCT-116 and breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines. Compounds 3a-s (in which a 4-oxoquinazolin-2-yl group functioned as the B-ring) were markedly more cytotoxic than compounds 6a-s (in which 4-oxoquinazolin-2-yl group functioned as the A-ring), based on their IC50 values to inhibit proliferation. Compound 3f was found as the most potent among 38 analogues and the mechanism of its cytotoxicity was investigated. Flow cytometry indicated that HCT-116 cells treated with compound 3f resulted in a dose-dependent accumulation of cells in the sub-G1 phase, which is representative of apoptotic cells. Subsequent assays (including Annexin V-FITC/PI, AO-EB, MitoSOX™ Red and JC-1 staining) confirmed that 3f exposure induced apoptosis in HCT-116 cells. Immunoblotting analysis indicated that cellular exposure to 3f increased the cleavage of PARP1 and caspases 3, 7, and 9. Taken together, this novel chalcone analogue has a cytotoxic effect on cultured cancer cell-lines that is likely mediated by inducing apoptosis via the mitochondrial death pathway.

Abstract
Determination of the corresponding bond dissociation enthalpy, ionization potential and proton affinity, dipole moment values, highest occupied molecular orbital eigenvalues, and spin density along with the bioactivity score is central to the antioxidant activity evaluation in this paper. Molecular geometries were optimized with DFT using B3LYP and UB3LYP for parent, ionic, and radical species and 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. Bioactivity, drug likeness, and drug scores were calculated using freely available cheminformatics programs for data visualization and analysis. Overall, the values revealed two structures as promising molecules because of good reaction enthalpies (ΔHr). Lipinski rules were fully satisfied for all molecules.

Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 98:484-490.

Abstract
Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) and activator protein 1 (AP-1) is a major transcription factor which regulates many biological and pathological processes such as inflammation and cell proliferation, which are major implicates in cancer progression. [6]-Shogaol ([6]-SHO) is a major constituent of ginger, exhibits various biological properties such as anti-oxidants, anti-inflammation and anti-tumor. Recently, we proven that [6]-SHO prevents oral squamous cell carcinoma by activating proapoptotic factors in in vitro and in vivo experimental model. However, the preventive efficacy of [6]-SHO in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis (HBP) has not been fully elucidated, so far. Hence, we aimed to investigate the effect of [6]-SHO on inflammation and cell proliferation by inhibiting the translocation of NF-κB and AP-1 in DMBA induced HBP carcinogenesis. In this study, we observed upregulation of inflammatory markers (COX-2, iNOS, TNF-α, interleukin-1 and -6), cell proliferative markers (Cyclin D1, PCNA and Ki-67) and aberrant activation of NF-κB, AP-1, IKKβ, c-jun, c-fos and decreased IκB-α in DMBA induced hamsters. Conversely, oral administration of [6]-SHO strongly inhibited constitutive phosphorylation and degradation of IκB and inhibit phosphorylation of c-jun, c-fos, resulting in inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-κBp65 and AP-1. Thus, inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 activation by [6]-SHO attenuates inflammation and cell proliferative response in DMBA induced hamsters. Our finding suggested that [6]-SHO is a novel functional agent capable of preventing DMBA induced inflammation and cell proliferation associated tumorigenesis by modulating multiple signalling molecules.

Abstract
The vital roles of microtubule in mitosis and cell division make it an attractive target for antitumor therapy. Colchicine binding site of tubulin is one of the most important pockets that have been focused on to design tubulin-destabilizing agents. Over the past few years, a large number of colchicine binding site inhibitors (CBSIs) have been developed inspired by natural products or synthetic origins, and many moieties frequently used in these CBSIs are structurally in common. In this review, we will classify the CBSIs into classical CBSIs and nonclassical CBSIs according to their spatial conformations and binding modes with tubulin, and highlight the privileged structures from these CBSIs in the development of tubulin inhibitors targeting the colchicine binding site.

Abstract
Cancer treatment still requires new compounds to be discovered. Chalcone and its derivatives exhibit anticancer potential in different cancer cells. A new series of benzofuran substituted chalcone derivatives was synthesized by the base-catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt reaction of the 1-(7-ethoxy-1-benzofuran-2-yl) ethanone with different aromatic aldehydes to yield 1-(7-ethoxy-1-benzofuran-2-yl) substituted chalcone derivatives 3a-j. The derivatives were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy techniques. The anti-growth effect of chalcone compounds was tested in breast cancer (MCF-7), non-small cell lung cancer (A549) and prostate cancer (PC-3) cell lines by the SRB and ATP cell viability assays. Apoptosis was detected by mitochondrial membrane potential, Annexin V staining and caspase 3/7 activity. Formation of reactive oxygen species was determined by DCFDA. The results revealed that chalcone derivatives have anticancer activity with especially chalcone derivative 3a showing cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. In addition, chalcone derivative 3a induced apoptosis through caspase dependent pathways in prostate, lung and breast cancer cells.

Abstract
It has been observed that when electron-rich naphthyl rings are present in chalcones they can participate in π-π stacking interactions, and this can play an important role in orientating inhibitors within the active sites of enzymes, while chalcones containing heterocyclic substituents additionally exhibit fungistatic and fungicidal properties. With these considerations in mind, three new chalcones containing 2-naphthyl substituents were prepared. 3-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C19H13FO, (I), crystallizes with Z' = 2 in the space group P-1 and the four molecules in the unit cell adopt an arrangement which resembles that in the space group P21/a. Although 3-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C19H13BrO, (II), with Z' = 1, is not isostructural with (I), the molecules of (I) and (II) adopt very similar conformations. In 1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C17H12OS, (III), the thiophene unit is disordered over two sets of atomic sites, with occupancies of 0.780 (3) and 0.220 (3), which are related by a near 180° rotation of the thiophene unit about its exocyclic C-C bond. The molecules of compound (I) are linked by three independent C-H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form centrosymmetric octamolecular aggregates, whereas the molecules of compound (II) are linked into molecular ladders by a combination of C-H...π(arene) and C-Br...π(arene) interactions, and those of compound (III) are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by C-H...π(thiophene) interactions.

Abstract
Since microtubules have an important role in mitosis and other vital cellular functions, tubulin-targeting chemotherapy has been received growing attention in anticancer drug design and development. It was found that a number of naturally occurring compounds including distinct chalcones exert their effect by inhibition of tubulin polymerization. After the identification of tubulin polymerization as potential target for chalcone-type compounds, extensive researches have been made to design and synthesis of new anti-tubulin chalconoids. Although diverse chalcones have found to be potent anticancer agents but in the present review, we focused on the recently reported tubulin polymerization inhibitors from chalcone origin and related synthetic compounds, and their detailed synthetic methods and biological activities.

This solid-emissive chalcone exhibits a planar structure and the bond parameters are compared with related compounds already described in the literature. The determination of the structure of this chalcone is quite relevant because it will play an important role in theoretical calculations to investigate potential two-photon absorption processes and could also be useful for studying the interaction of such compounds with a biological target.

Abstract
Chalcone or (E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propene-1-one scaffold remained a fascination among researchers in the 21st century due to its simple chemistry, ease of synthesis and a wide variety of promising biological activities. Several natural and (semi) synthetic chalcones have shown anti-cancer activity due to their inhibitory potential against various targets namely ABCG2/P-gp/BCRP, 5α-reductase, aromatase, 17-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, HDAC/Situin-1, proteasome, VEGF, VEGFR-2 kinase, MMP-2/9, JAK/STAT signaling pathways, CDC25B, tubulin, cathepsin-K, topoisomerase-II, Wnt, NF-κB, B-Raf and mTOR etc. In this review, a comprehensive study on molecular targets/pathways involved in carcinogenesis, mechanism of actions (MOAs), structure activity relationships (SARs) and patents granted have been highlighted. With the knowledge of molecular targets, structural insights and SARs, this review may be helpful for (medicinal) chemists to design more potent, safe, selective and cost effective anti-cancer chalcones.
