Abstract
A variety of myricetin derivatives containing thioether quinoline moiety were designed and synthesized. Their structures of title compounds were determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR, and HRMS. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments were carried out with B4. Antiviral activity indicated that some of the target compounds exhibited remarkable anti-tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) activity. In particular, compound B6 possessed significant activity. The half maximal effective concentration (EC50) value of the curative activity of compound B6 was 169.0 μg/mL, which was superior to the control agent ningnanmycin (227.2 μg/mL). Meanwhile, the EC50 value of the protective activity of compound B6 was 86.5 μg/mL, which was better than ningnanmycin (179.2 μg/mL). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) indicated that compound B6 had a strong binding capability to the tobacco mosaic virus coat protein (TMV-CP) with a dissociation constant (Kd) value of 0.013 μmol/L, which was superior to that of myricitrin (61.447 μmol/L) and ningnanmycin (3.215 μmol/L). And the molecular docking studies were consistent with the experimental results. Therefore, these novel myricetin derivatives containing thioether quinoline moiety could become potential alternative templates for novel antiviral agents.

Abstract
24 chalcone derivatives containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole were synthesized. The results of bioactivity tests indicated that some of the target compounds exhibited superior antifungal activities in vitro. Notably, the EC50 value of D4 was 14.4 μg/mL against Phomopsis sp, which was significantly better than that of azoxystrobin (32.2 μg/mL) and fluopyram (54.2 μg/mL). The in vivo protective activity of D4 against Phomopsis sp on kiwifruit (71.2 %) was significantly superior to azoxystrobin (62.8 %) at 200 μg/mL. The in vivo protective activities of D4 were 74.4 and 57.6 % against Rhizoctonia solani on rice leaf sheaths and rice leaves, respectively, which were slightly better than those of azoxystrobin (72.1 and 49.2 %) at 200 μg/mL. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the mycelial surface collapsed, contracted and grew abnormally after D4 treatment. Finally, the results were further verified by in vivo antifungal assay, fluorescence microscopy (FM) observation, determination of relative conductivity, membrane lipid peroxidation degree assay, and determination of cytoplasmic content leakage. Molecular docking results suggested that D4 could be a potential SDHI.

Abstract
This review article is a comprehensive and current overview on chalcones, covering their sources, identification methods, and properties with a particular focus on their applications in the agricultural sector. The widespread use of synthetic pesticides has not only led to increased resistance among weeds and pests, resulting in economic losses, but it has also raised significant health concerns due to the overuse of these chemicals. In line with the European Green Deal 2030 and its Farm to Fork strategy, there is a targeted 50% reduction in the use of chemical pesticides by 2030, emphasizing a shift towards natural alternatives that are more environmentally sustainable and help in the restoration of natural resources. Chalcones and their derivatives, with their herbicidal, fungicidal, bactericidal, and antiviral properties, appear to be ideal candidates. These naturally occurring compounds have been recognized for their beneficial health effects for many years and have applications across multiple areas. This review not only complements the previous literature on the agricultural use of chalcones but also provides updates and introduces methods of detection such as chromatography and MALDI technique.

Abstract
A series of flavonol derivatives containing benzoxazole were designed and synthesized, and the structures of all the target compounds were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The structure of X2 was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The results of the bioactivity tests showed that some of the target compounds possessed excellent antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in vivo. In particular, the median effective concentration (EC50) values for the curative and protective activities of X17 against TMV were 127.6 and 101.2 μg/mL, respectively, which were superior to those of ningnanmycin (320.0 and 234.6 μg/mL). The results of preliminary mechanism study indicated that X17 had a strong binding affinity for TMV coat protein (TMV-CP), which might hinder the self-assembly and replication of TMV particles. In addition, X17 was able to effectively inhibit tobacco leaf membrane lipid peroxidation and facilitate the removal of O2- from the body, thereby improving the disease resistance of tobacco plants. Therefore, the design and synthesis of flavonol derivatives containing benzoxazole provides value for the development of new antiviral drugs.

Abstract
Viral infections in plants pose major challenges to agriculture and global food security in the twenty-first century. Plants have evolved a diverse range of specialized metabolites (PSMs) for defenses against pathogens. Although, PSMs-mediated plant-microorganism interactions have been widely discovered, these are mainly confined to plant-bacteria or plant-fungal interactions. PSM-mediated plant-virus interaction, however, is more complicated often due to the additional involvement of virus spreading vectors. Here, we review the major classes of PSMs and their emerging roles involved in antiviral resistances. In addition, evolutionary scenarios for PSM-mediated interactions between plant, virus and virus-transmitting vectors are presented. These advancements in comprehending the biochemical language of PSMs during plant-virus interactions not only lay the foundation for understanding potential co-evolution across life kingdoms, but also open a gateway to the fundamental principles of biological control strategies and beyond.

Abstract
Dengue infection is a global health problem as climate change facilitates the spread of mosquito vectors. Infected patients could progress to severe plasma leakage and hemorrhagic shock, where current standard treatment remains supportive. Previous reports suggested that several flavonoid derivatives inhibited mosquito-borne flaviviruses. This work aimed to explore sulfonamide chalcone derivatives as dengue inhibitors and to identify molecular targets. We initially screened 27 sulfonamide chalcones using cell-based antiviral and cytotoxic screenings. Two potential compounds, SC22 and SC27, were identified with DENV1-4 EC50s in the range of 0.71-0.94 and 3.15-4.46 μM, and CC50s at 14.63 and 31.02 μM, respectively. The compounds did not show any elevation in ALT or Cr in C57BL/6 mice on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days after being administered intraperitoneally with 50 mg/kg SC22 or SC27 in a single dose. Moreover, the SAM-binding site of NS5 methyltransferase was a potential target of SC27 identified by computational and enzyme-based assays. The main target of SC22 was in a late stage of viral replication, but the exact target molecule had yet to be identified. In summary, a sulfonamide chalcone, SC27, was a potential DENV inhibitor that targeted viral methyltransferase. Further investigation should be the study of the structure-activity relationship of SC27 derivatives for higher potency and lower toxicity.

G-quadruplex in the TMV Genome Regulates Viral Proliferation and Acts as Antiviral Target of Photodynamic Therapy. PLoS Pathog 2023; 19:e1011796. [PMID: 38060599 PMCID: PMC10760922 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1011796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant viruses seriously disrupt crop growth and development, and classic protein-targeted antiviral drugs could not provide complete protection against them. It is urgent to develop antiviral compounds with novel targets. Photodynamic therapy shows potential in controlling agricultural pests, but nonselective damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS) unexpectedly affects healthy tissues. A G-quadruplex (G4)-forming sequence in the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) genome was identified to interfere the RNA replication in vitro, and affect the proliferation of TMV in tobacco. N-methyl mesoporphyrin IX stabilizing the G4 structure exhibited inhibition against viral proliferation, which was comparable to the inhibition effect of ribavirin. This indicated that G4 could work as an antiviral target. The large conjugate planes shared by G4 ligands and photosensitizers (PSs) remind us that the PSs could work as antiviral agents by targeting G4 in the genome of TMV. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) was identified to stabilize the G4 structure in the dark and selectively cleave the G4 sequence by producing ROS upon LED-light irradiation, leading to 92.2% inhibition against TMV in vivo, which is higher than that of commercial ningnanmycin. The inhibition of Ce6 was lost against the mutant variants lacking the G4-forming sequence. These findings indicated that the G-quadruplex in the TMV genome worked as an important structural element regulating viral proliferation, and could act as the antiviral target of photodynamic therapy.

Design and Synthesis of Novel α-Methylchalcone Derivatives, Anti-Cervical Cancer Activity, and Reversal of Drug Resistance in HeLa/DDP Cells. Molecules 2023; 28:7697. [PMID: 38067428 PMCID: PMC10707934 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28237697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a collection of newly developed α-methylchalcone derivatives were synthesized and assessed for their inhibitory potential against human cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa, SiHa, and C33A) as well as normal human cervical epithelial cells (H8). Notably, compound 3k exhibited substantial inhibitory effects on both HeLa and HeLa/DDP cells while demonstrating lower toxicity toward H8 cells. Furthermore, the compound 3k was found to induce apoptosis in both HeLa and HeLa/DDP cells while also inhibiting the G2/M phase, resulting in a decrease in the invasion and migration capabilities of these cells. When administered alongside cisplatin, 3k demonstrated a significant reduction in the resistance of HeLa/DDP cells to cisplatin, as evidenced by a decrease in the resistance index (RI) value from 7.90 to 2.10. Initial investigations into the underlying mechanism revealed that 3k did not impact the expression of P-gp but instead facilitated the accumulation of rhodamine 123 in HeLa/DDP cells. The results obtained from CADD docking analysis demonstrated that 3k exhibits stable binding to microtubule proteins and P-gp targets, forming hydrogen bonding interaction forces. Immunofluorescence analysis further revealed that 3k effectively decreased the fluorescence intensity of α and β microtubules in HeLa and HeLa/DDP cells, resulting in disruptions in cell morphology, reduction in cell numbers, nucleus coagulation, and cell rupture. Additionally, Western blot analysis indicated that 3k significantly reduced the levels of polymerized α and β microtubule proteins in both HeLa and HeLa/DDP cell lines while concurrently increasing the expression of dissociated α and β microtubule proteins. The aforementioned findings indicate a potential correlation between the inhibitory effects of 3k on HeLa and HeLa/DDP cells and its ability to inhibit tubulin and P-gp.

Abstract
Ethylicin (ET) was reported to be promising in the control of rice bacterial leaf blight (BLB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo). The detailed mechanism for this process remains unknown. Disclosed here is an in-depth study on the action mode of ET to Xoo. Through plant physiological and biochemical analysis, it was found that ET could inhibit the proliferation of Xoo by increasing the content of defense enzymes and chlorophyll in rice (Oryza sativa ssp. Japonica cv. Nipponbare). Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis showed that ET affected the rice abscisic acid (ABA) signal pathway and made the critical differential calcium-dependent protein kinase 24 (OsCPK24) more active. In addition, the biological function of OsCPK24 as a mediator for rice resistance to Xoo was determined through the anti-Xoo phenotypic test of OsCPK24 transgenic rice and the affinity analysis of the OsCPK24 recombinant protein in vitro and ET. This study revealed the molecular mechanism of ET-induced resistance to Xoo in rice via OsCPK24, which provided a basis for the development of new bactericides based on the OsCPK24 protein.

Abstract
Chalcone derivatives are considered valuable species because they possess a ketoethylenic moiety, CO-CH=CH-. Due to the presence of a reactive α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group, chalcones and their derivatives possess a wide spectrum of antiproliferative, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antileishmanial, and antimalarial pharmacological properties. Recent developments in heterocyclic chemistry have led to the synthesis of chalcone derivatives, which had been biologically investigated toward certain disease targets. The major aspect of this review is to present the most recent synthesis of chalcones bearing N, O, and/or S heterocycles, revealing their biological potential during the past decade (2010-2021). Based on a review of the literature, many chalcone-heterocycle hybrids appear to exhibit promise as future drug candidates owing to their similar or superior activities compared to those of the standards. Thus, this review may prove to be beneficial for the development and design of new potent therapeutic drugs based on previously developed strategies.

Abstract
Rice bacterial blight and rice bacterial streak are two serious rice diseases and have caused great harm to the production of rice all over the world. To develop an efficient antibacterial agent with a novel target, a series of novel 2-oxo-N-phenylacetamide derivatives containing a dissulfone moiety were synthesized, and their antibacterial activities were evaluated. Among them, compound D14 exhibited the best antibacterial activities, especially against Xoo and Xoc with EC50 values of 0.63 and 0.79 mg/L, respectively, which were much better than the commercial control of bismerthiazol (BT) (76.59 and 83.35 mg/L, respectively) and thiodiazole copper (TC) (91.72 and 114.00 mg/L, respectively). Meanwhile, compound D14 can interact with a CRP-like protein (Clp) of Pxo99A and show strong binding activity with Xoo-Clp with a Kd value of 0.52 μM, which was far superior to the corresponding Kd values of BT (183.94 μM) and TC (222.58 μM). Treatment of D14 and deletion of the clp gene could significantly reduce the expression of the clp gene and attenuate the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. These results indicated that compound D14 could be used as a potential novel agricultural bactericide and Clp can be used as a target protein for the control of plant bacterial diseases. This work provided reliable support for developing novel antibacterial agents based on Clp as a target protein.

Abstract
The applications of mesoionic compounds and their analogues as agents against plant viruses remain unexplored. This was the first evaluation of the antiviral activities of mesoionic compounds on this issue. Our study involved the design and synthesis of a series of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine mesoionic compounds containing a sulfonamide moiety and the assessment of their antiviral activities against potato virus Y (PVY). Compound A33 was assessed on the basis of three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model analysis and displayed good curative, protective, and inactivating activity effects against PVY at 500 mg/L, up to 51.0, 62.0, and 82.1%, respectively, which were higher than those of commercial ningnanmycin (NNM, at 47.2, 50.1, and 81.4%). Significantly, defensive enzyme activities and proteomics results showed that compound A33 could enhance the defense response by activating the activity of defense enzymes, inducing the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway of tobacco to resist PVY infection. Therefore, our study indicates that compound A33 could be applied as a potential viral inhibitor.

Abstract
In an effort to develop novel molecules with suitable insecticidal activities, 23,24-alkene-avermectin B2a derivatives have been synthesized via a one-pot multistep reaction using avermectin B2a, a byproduct of avermectin fermentation, as a starting material. All products and intermediates were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Bioassay results showed that the LC50 values of compounds 4 and 9 against Meloidogyne incognita were 0.63 and 0.50 mg/L, respectively, similar to that of avermectin (0.46 mg/L). Importantly, the LC50 values of compound 9 against Tetranychus cinnabarinus and Mythimna separate were 0.0067 and 0.047 mg/L, respectively, superior to that of avermectin. Through field experiments, it could be found that spraying 0.25% water-dispersible granules of compound 9 345 g ha-1 could effectively control M. incognita outbreaks, with an efficacy of 84.9%. Combined with toxicity experiments, it could be further inferred that compound 9 may be useful as a low-toxicity pesticide. In summary, we efficiently synthesized a new B2a derivative as a potential pesticide and offered an important way for improving the utilization efficiency of avermectin fermentation products. In doing so, the environmental pollution associated with fermentation byproducts may be greatly reduced, potentially enabling a sustainable avermectin fermentation process.

Abstract
Plant virus diseases, also known as “plant cancers”, cause serious harm to the agriculture of the world and huge economic losses every year. Antiviral agents are one of the most effective ways to control plant virus diseases. Ningnanmycin is currently the most successful anti-plant virus agent, but its field control effect is not ideal due to its instability. In recent years, great progress has been made in the research and development of antiviral agents, the mainstream research direction is to obtain antiviral agents or lead compounds based on structural modification of natural products. However, no antiviral agent has been able to completely inhibit plant viruses. Therefore, the development of highly effective antiviral agents still faces enormous challenges. Therefore, we reviewed the recent research progress of anti-plant virus agents based on natural products in the past decade, and discussed their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and mechanism of action. It is hoped that this review can provide new inspiration for the discovery and mechanism of action of novel antiviral agents.

Abstract
A series of cytosine derivatives containing a sulfonamide moiety were designed and synthesized, and their antiviral activities against pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) were systematically evaluated. Then, a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model was constructed to study the structure-activity relationship according to the pEC50 of the compounds' protective activities. Next, compound A32 with preferable antiviral activity on PMMoV was obtained based on the CoMSIA and CoMFA models, with an EC50 of 19.5 μg/mL, which was superior to the template molecule A25 (21.3 μg/mL) and ningnanmycin (214.0 μg/mL). In addition, further studies showed that the antiviral activity of compound A32 against PMMoV was in accord with the up-regulation of proteins expressed in the defense response and carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms. These results indicated that cytosine derivatives containing a sulfonamide moiety could be used as novel potential antiviral agents for further research and development.

Computational investigation of benzalacetophenone derivatives against SARS-CoV-2 as potential multi-target bioactive compounds. Comput Biol Med 2022; 146:105668. [PMID: 35667894 PMCID: PMC9135652 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2022.105668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Benzalacetophenones, precursors of flavonoids are aromatic ketones and enones and possess the immunostimulant as well as antiviral activities. Thus, benzalacetophenones were screened against the COVID-19 that could be lethal in patients with compromised immunity. We considered ChEBI recorded benzalacetophenone derivative(s) and evaluated their activity against 3C-like protease (3CLpro), papain-like protease (PLpro), and spike protein of SARS-Cov-2 to elucidate their possible role as antiviral agents. The probable targets for each compound were retrieved from DIGEP-Pred at 0.5 pharmacological activity and all the modulated proteins were enriched to identify the probably regulated pathways, biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions. In addition, molecular docking was performed using AutoDock 4 and the best-identified hits were subjected to all-atom molecular dynamics simulation and binding energy calculations using molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA). The compound 4-hydroxycordoin showed the highest druglikeness score and regulated nine proteins of which five were down-regulated and four were upregulated. Similarly, enrichment analysis identified the modulation of multiple pathways concerned with the immune system as well as pathways related to infectious and non-infectious diseases. Likewise, 3'-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-4′-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-4,2′-dihydroxychalcone with 3CLpro, 4-hydroxycordoin with PLpro and mallotophilippen D with spike protein receptor-binding domain showed highest binding affinity, revealed stable interactions during the simulation, and scored binding free energy of −26.09 kcal/mol, −16.28 kcal/mol, and −39.2 kcal/mol, respectively. Predicted anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities of the benzalacetophenones reflected the requirement of wet lab studies to develop novel antiviral candidates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant virus diseases are difficult to control and severely threaten the productivity of crops, which leads to huge financial losses. To discover the new antiviral drugs, 34 novel ferulic acid derivatives with piperazine moiety were synthesized, and the antiviral activities were systematically screened as well. RESULTS Bioassay results indicated that most of the target compounds had outstanding antiviral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in vivo. In particular, compound E2 exhibited remarkable curative activities to TMV and CMV with EC50 values of 189.0 and 401.7 μg/mL compared to those for ningnanmycin (387.0, 519.3 μg/mL) and ribavirin (542.1, 721.5 μg/mL). And then the mechanisms of compound E2 were studied by chlorophyll content, differentially expressed proteins and genes tests. CONCLUSION The excellent antiviral activity of compound E2 was closely associated with the increase in host photosynthesis, which was confirmed by chlorophyll content, differentially expressed proteins and genes assays. Compound E2 can be considered as a lead structure for the discovery of new antiviral agents. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is a new damaging plant virus of great interest from both an economical and research point of view. ToBRFV is transmitted by contact, remains infective for months, and to-date, no resistant cultivars have been developed. Due to the relevance of this virus, new effective, sustainable, and operator-safe antiviral agents are needed. Thus, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid was identified as the main product of the alkaline autoxidation at high temperature of the methanolic extract of the leaves of C. micranthum, known for antiviral activity. The autoxidized extract and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid were assayed in in vitro experiments, in combination with a mechanical inoculation test of tomato plants. Catechinic acid, a common product of rearrangement of catechins in hot alkaline solution, was also tested. Degradation of the viral particles, evidenced by the absence of detectable ToBRFV RNA and the loss of virus infectivity, as a possible consequence of disassembly of the virus coat protein (CP), were shown. Homology modeling was then applied to prepare the protein model of ToBRFV CP, and its structure was optimized. Molecular docking simulation showed the interactions of the two compounds, with the amino acid residues responsible for CP-CP interactions. Catechinic acid showed the best binding energy value in comparison with ribavirin, an anti-tobamovirus agent.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has horrified the human race and every government of the world, not only in the healthcare sector but also in terms of the economy, social disturbances, and large-scale growth of all nations. SARS-CoV-2, responsible for this pandemic, is a single member of a huge family of pathogenic viruses. Previous encounters with these viruses have taught the whole world that they can transform into more resistant and more harmful forms in a very short time. Antiviral medicines with characteristics of excellent potency, less resistance, and low toxicity are still challenging, and obtaining such drugs is a demanding arena in the field of pharmaceutical development. Antiviral medicines contain heterocyclic moieties with diverse substitutions and fusion. Among the potent heterocycles, imidazoles serve as one of the most crucial moieties in the field of drug discovery due to their ability to interact with the active target sites of living systems which provide enormous opportunities to discover new drugs with several modes of action. This chapter gives a systemic representation of design, discovery, and structure–activity relationship studies of the imidazole analogs as antiviral drugs in comparison to standard treatment used in the present-day scenario.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the present work, two novel compounds were synthesized using zinc oxide nanoparticles through green synthesis protocol. The zinc oxide nanoparticles catalyzed reactions were afforded good to excellent yields of the target compounds 76.3-98.6%. METHODOLOGY The synthesized compounds were characterized by UV-Vis, IR and NMR. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds was screened against two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The synthesized compounds displayed potent activity against the bacterial strains. Among them, compound 8 showed strong activity against Bacillus cereus relative to the standard drug. On the other hand, compound 9 exhibited strong activity against Escherichia coli. The molecular docking study of the synthesized compounds was conducted to investigate their binding pattern with DNA gyrase and E. coli dihydropteroate synthase and all of them were found to have minimum binding energy ranging from -6.0 to -7.3 kcal/mol, and the best result achieved with compound 8 and 9. CONCLUSION The findings of the in vitro antibacterial and molecular docking analysis demonstrated that the synthesized compounds have potential of antibacterial activity and can be further optimized to serve as a lead compound.

Abstract
Chalcones belong to the flavonoid class of phenolic compounds. They form one of the largest groups of bioactive natural products. The potential anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiparasitic properties of naturally occurring chalcones, and their unique chemical structural features inspired the synthesis of numerous chalcone derivatives. In fact, structural features of chalcones are easy to construct from simple aromatic compounds, and it is convenient to perform structural modifications to generate functionalized chalcone derivatives. Many of these synthetic analogs were shown to possess similar bioactivities as their natural counterparts, but often with an enhanced potency and reduced toxicity. This review article aims to demonstrate how bioinspired synthesis of chalcone derivatives can potentially introduce a new chemical space for exploitation for new drug discovery, justifying the title of this article. However, the focus remains on critical appraisal of synthesized chalcones and their derivatives for their bioactivities, linking to their interactions at the biomolecular level where appropriate, and revealing their possible mechanisms of action.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is a multifactorial process reflecting the response of the organism to various stimuli and is associated with a number of disorders such as arthritis, asthma and psoriasis, which require long-lasting or repeated treatment. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper is to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of previous synthesized thiazole-based chalcone derivatives. METHODS Chalcones were synthesized via Cliazen-Schmidt condensation1-(4-methyl-2- alkylamino)thiazol-5-yl) ethanone with a corresponding aromatic aldehyde. For the evaluation of possible anti-inflammatory activity, carrageenan mouse paw edema was used. RESULTS Eight out of thirteen tested chalcones showed anti-inflammatory activity in a range of 51- 55%. Prediction of toxicity revealed that these compounds are not toxic. CONCLUSION In general, it can be concluded that these compounds can be used for further modifications in order to develop more active and safe agents.

Abstract
Benzosuberene compounds with a pyrrolone group adhered to it are compounds extracted from the oils of Cedrus deodara plant, that bear inhibitory capabilities. Tobacco mosaic virus is known to affect crop production every year. The currently known inhibitors against TMV have a weak inhibition effect and also tend to be toxic towards non-target living organisms as well as the environment. Thus, the requirement of non-toxic potent inhibitors is the need of the hour, which led us to test our benzosuberene molecules on the binding site of TMV and check their affinity as well as stability. The non-toxic nature of these molecules has already been experimentally established. Through in-silico analysis involving docking and simulation experiments, we compared the interaction pattern of these ligand molecules with the already present inhibitors. Our investigation proved that the reported ligands (ligands 3, 7, 9, and 17 obtained -177.103, -228.632, -184.134, and - 188.075 kJ/mol binding energies, respectively) interacted with the binding site of TMV much efficiently than the known inhibitors (Ribavirin and Zhao et al. 2020 obtained 121.561 and - 221.393 kJ/mol binding energies, respectively). Moreover, they acquired a stable conformation inside the binding pocket, where a higher number of binding site residues contributed towards interaction. Thus, their structural framework can be optimized for the exploration of their antiviral properties to develop potent botanical viricides against plant virus infection.

Abstract
To find efficient and broad-spectrum viral agents, a series of purine nucleoside derivatives containing sulfa ethylamine moieties was designed and synthesized, and their antiviral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and potato virus Y (PVY) were evaluated. Some target compounds displayed good antiviral activities. Among them, compound 3 showed excellent protective activity against CMV and PVY with 50% effective concentration values (EC50) of 137 and 209 μg/mL, respectively, which were better than that of the control agent ningnanmycin (508 and 431 μg/mL). Moreover, the EC50 value of compound 3 for the inactivating activity against TMV was 48 μg/mL, which was better than that of ningnanmycin (88 μg/mL). In addition, compound 3 not only destroyed the structure of the TMV virus but also had a good interaction with the coat protein of the TMV virus. Therefore, compound 3 may further destroy the structure of the virus by binding to the coat protein of the TMV virus, thereby weakening the infectivity of the virus.

Abstract
A series of novel 1-phenyl-5-amine-4-pyrazole thioether derivatives containing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety was designed and synthesised. In vivo antiviral bioassay results showed that most of the target compounds exhibited excellent inactivation activity against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The EC50 values of the inactivation activities for T2, T7, T9, T24, T25 and T27 were 15.7, 15.7, 15.5, 11.9, 12.5 and 16.5 μg/mL, respectively, which were remarkably superior over that of the commercialised antiviral agent ningnanmycin (40.3 μg/mL). Morphological study using AFM and TEM of TMV treated with T24 showed that T24 could significantly shorten the polymerization length of TMV particles and formed a distinct break on the rod-shaped TMV. Investigations for virus infection efficiency on tobacco leaves demonstrated that infectivity of virion had been reduced obviously upon T24 treatment. Subsequently, a strong interaction between T24 and TMV-CP (Kd = 3.8 μM, score 6.11) was observed through MST experiments. Molecular docking study further revealed that target compounds interact with amino acid residue Glu50 in TMV CP, causing disassembly of virion, shorting the length of the virion and reducing the infectivity of virion, and resulting in high inactivating activity of target compounds. This study provides a new insight for discovery of antiviral compounds through a new action mechanism with a new binding site.

Design, synthesis and anti-TMV activity of novel α-aminophosphonate derivatives containing a chalcone moiety that induce resistance against plant disease and target the TMV coat protein. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2021; 172:104749. [PMID: 33518042 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2020.104749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
Plant viral diseases, known as "plant cancer", with high contagiosity can substantially reduce crop quality and yield. To identify potential anti-tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) agents with different mechanisms, a series of novel α-aminophosphonate derivatives containing a chalcone moiety were designed and synthesized. Bioassay results revealed that some target compounds exhibited improved curative activity against TMV in vivo, and the EC50 value of compound B3 was 356.7 mg L-1. The activities of the defensive enzymes POD and CAT from tobacco leaves treated with B3 and B17 showed that these target compounds could improve the photosynthetic ability of the leaves and activate plant host resistance against TMV infection. The binding constant between B3 and TMV Coat Protein (CP) (2.51 × 108 M-1), calculated by the fluorescence titration experiment and docking results, revealed that B3 has a strong interaction with TMV CP. Further docking analysis revealed that B3 was embedded between two layers of the TMV CP, which was consistent with the 2:1 binding mode of TMV CP and B3 determined by the binding affinity experiment. The TEM morphological study of TMV treated with B3 and B17 indicated that this series of target compounds may trigger the disassembly of TMV by interacting directly with TMV CP. This study provides new insight for the discovery of antiviral compounds with two different mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Chalcones (natural or synthetic derivatives) are aromatic ketones possessing a central backbone that form a core for variety important compounds with different substitutions. Recent scientific advances show that chalcones exhibit different bio-medical activities, including antiviral, which is related to the variety substitutions. This review provides general information on the origin, sources, virucidal and direct antiviral properties of chalcones in vitro, as well as a brief overview of the possible application and molecular modes of action of these compounds. The antiviral effect of chalcones probably results from the disruption of the different stage of viral replication cycle, inhibition of viral or cell enzymes, induction of apoptosis and others. Structural requirements for antiviral activities vary according to the mechanisms of action. Based on the published information, it could be considered that synthetic chalcones are very perspective antiviral candidates and deserve further studies for elucidating of their pharmacological potential.

Abstract
The Leishmaniasis treatment currently available involves some difficulties, such as high toxicity, variable efficacy, high cost, therefore, it is crucial to search for new therapeutic alternatives. Over the past few years, research on new drugs has focused on the use of natural compounds such as chalcones and nanotechnology. In this context, this research aimed at assessing the in vitro leishmanicidal activity of free 4-nitrochalcone (4NC) on promastigotes and encapsulated 4NC on L. amazonensis-infected macrophages, as well as their action mechanisms. Free 4NC was able to reduce the viability of promastigotes, induce reactive oxygen species production, decrease mitochondrial membrane potential, increase plasma membrane permeability, and expose phosphatidylserine, in addition to altering the morphology and lowering parasite cellular volume. Treatment containing encapsulated 4NC in beeswax-copaiba oil nanoparticles (4NC-beeswax-CO Nps) did not alter the viability of macrophages. Furthermore, 4NC-beeswax-CO Nps reduced the percentage of infected macrophages and the number of amastigotes per macrophages, increasing the production of reactive oxygen species, NO, TNF-α, and IL-10. Therefore, free 4NC proved to exert anti-promastigote effect, while 4NC-beeswax-CO Nps showed a leishmanicidal effect on L. amazonensis-infected macrophages by activating the macrophage microbicidal machinery.

Abstract
Tobacco mosaic virus coat protein (TMV CP) plays an important role in viral replication, translation, and intracellular and intercellular movements. Thus, TMV CP could be regarded as a potential target for antiviral agents. In this study, in order to find out whether dithioacetal derivatives act on the CP target, a series of dithioacetal derivatives containing sulfonamide moiety was first designed and synthesized. Bioassay results demonstrated that Y14, Y18, and Y21 exhibited excellent activities against TMV, with half-maximal effective concentrations (EC50) of the curative, protective, and inactivate activities being 183.0 ± 3.2, 252.3 ± 2.6, and 63.8 ± 1.2 μg/mL, 270.6 ± 3.7, 249.7 ± 3.5, and 57.7 ± 1.4 μg/mL, and 329.5 ± 1.5, 269.2 ± 3.7, and 48.1 ± 2.0 μg/mL for Y14, Y18, and Y21, respectively, which were higher than those for the control agents ningnanmycin (331.0 ± 2.8, 271.0 ± 2.8, and 77.4 ± 1.3 μg/mL, respectively) and d2 (471.5 ± 1.4, 447.2 ± 2.1, and 91.7 ± 1.8 μg/mL, respectively). Transmission electron microscopy showed that the particle morphology of TMV was destroyed by Y21, and microscale thermophoresis (MST) showed that Y21 bonded to CP with a dissociation constant (K d) of 9.7 ± 1.7 μM. Then, molecular docking and MST further illustrated that Y21 had a weak binding affinity with the TMV mutant protein (K d = 561.3 ± 83.2 μM). Thus, we deduced that the dithioacetal derivative Y21 may inhibit TMV activity by binding TMV CP. This work provides some new insights for the design and optimization of novel anti-TMV agents.

Abstract
Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has caused huge economic losses to tobacco, pepper, cucumber, and ornamental crops all over the world. However, few effective antiviral agents were developed and applied to control such plant disease. It is challenging to find an anti-TMV agent which is highly effective, less toxic, and environmentally friendly. In this work, a series of ferulic acid ester-containing sulfonamide moieties were designed and synthesized, and the antiviral activities of these compounds against TMV were evaluated. The anti-TMV biological activity test showed that the target compounds showed excellent anti-TMV activity in vitro and in vivo. In particular, compound 2 has excellent anti-TMV activity at 500 μg/mL, which is higher than that of the control drug ribavirin. The preliminary mechanism research results showed that compound 2 can obviously destroy the morphology of the virions to show excellent activity. The results show that the ferulic acid ester-containing sulfonamide moiety deserves further research and development.

Abstract
The issue of antibiotic resistance is becoming progressively serious these days, and the feasible solution to address it is to develop and discover novel antibiotics. The diterpene natural pleuromutilin is a prominent candidate for its special mode of action by inhibiting protein synthesis. In this study, a series of novel pleuromutilin derivatives with chalcone moiety was designed and synthesized, and their antibacterial activities were assessed in vitro. As suggested from the results, most of compounds exhibited potent activities against two methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ATCC 33591 and 43300. The further modification of the chalcone structure, aza-cyclic derivatives were afforded and then assessed, and potent activities against the tested strains were reported. The preliminary docking studies were conducted to explore the interactions between target molecules and binding site.

Abstract
Novel pyrimidine sulfide derivatives containing a dithioacetal and strobilurin moiety were designed and synthesized. Their antiviral activities against tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) were investigated through the tomato chlorosis virus coat protein (ToCVCP)-oriented screening method. Microscale thermophoresis was used to study the interaction between the compound and the ToCVCP. Compounds B13 and B23 interacted better with ToCVCP than the other compounds and had dissociation constant (Kd) values of 0.09 and 0.06 μM, respectively. These values were lower than those of the control agents, ningnanmycin (0.19 μM) and ribavirin (6.54 μM), which indicated that the compounds had a strong binding effect with ToCVCP. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the role of compounds B13 and B23 in the gene regulation of ToCVCP. Both compounds significantly reduced the expression level of the ToCVCP gene in Nicotiana benthamiana with reduction values of 88 and 83%, which were better than those of ningnanmycin (65%) and lead compound C14 (73%). Pyrimidine sulfide containing a dithioacetal and strobilurin moiety is significant in the research and development of novel anti-ToCV agents.

Abstract
Thirty unreported indole derivatives containing dithioacetal moiety were synthesized and evaluated for anti-plant viral activity. Bioassay results displayed that some of the target compounds showed better activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) than the commercial Ribavirin in vivo. In particular, anti-TMV curative, protective and inactivating activity of 4p were 55.1, 57.2, and 80.3%, respectively, and EC50 value for inactivating activity was 88.5 μg/mL. The observation of transmission electron microscope showed that 4p may have a certain destructive effect on TMV particles. To further study, microscale thermophoresis analysis result also demonstrated that 4p powerfully interacted with TMV coat protein in vitro. Hence, this study provides a strong evidence suporting that indole derivatives might be applied as new antiviral agents.

Abstract
Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) has caused great harm to the production of tomato worldwide. To develop efficient anti-ToCV agents, some novel 4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives containing dithioacetal were designed and synthesized, and their anti-ToCV activities were evaluated by microscale thermophoresis (MST) using ToCV coat protein (ToCV-CP) as a new target. The results showed that some compounds had a strong binding capacity to ToCV-CP. In particular, compounds C5 and C22 have an excellent binding capacity to ToCV-CP, with binding constant values of 0.24 and 0.25 μM, respectively. Additionally, reduced ToCV-CP gene expression levels of 81.05 and 87.59% could be achieved when tomato was treated with compounds C5 and C22, respectively, which were obviously higher than the levels after ningnanmycin (NNM) treatment (43.88%) and lead compound Xiangcaoliusuobingmi (XCLSBM) treatment (63.56%). Therefore, this work indicates that 4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives containing dithioacetal moiety can be used as novel anti-ToCV agents.

Abstract
A series of heterocyclic compounds with a sulfonamide moiety were synthesized from reaction of enaminone 4 with active methylene compounds, glycine derivatives, 1,4-benzoquinone, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, hydrazonyl halides and dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate. The newly synthesized sulfonamide derivatives were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, elemental analysis and alternative synthetic routes. The reactions products were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of three different human cancerous cell lines, MCF-7 (breast), HepG-2 (liver) and HCT-116 (colon) and the results were deployed to derive the structure-activity relationships (SAR). Various test compounds were potent antiproliferative to cancerous cells; reaching very low micromolar levels, as in case of 21 which showed IC50 value of 6.2 μM against HepG-2 cell. In addition, treatment of cancerous cells with the synthesized compounds induced cell apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest evidenced by flow cytometric analysis. Furthermore, the activity of the synthesized compounds against TOP I and II were documented by DNA relaxation assays. Data revealed that compound 24 significantly interfered with TOP I- and II-mediated DNA relaxation, nicking and decatenation, with IC50 values 27.8 and 33.6 μM, respectively. Moreover, the molecular docking studies supported the results from enzymatic assays, where compound 24 was intercalated between nucleotides flanking the DNA cleavage site via pi-pi stacking and hydrophobic interactions. In conclusion, aromatic heterocycles linked to sulfonamides are excellent molecular frameworks amenable for optimization as dual TOP I and II poisons to control various human malignancies.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2020; 164:115-121. [PMID: 32284116 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2020.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Revised: 12/29/2019] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
A series of cinnamic acid derivatives, which contained dithioacetal moiety, were designed and synthesized, and their anti-plant virus activity against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) were evaluated. Most target compounds exhibited good anti-plant virus activities. Compound 2y, especially at 500 mg/L concentration, had an excellent activity against TMV, and its curative, protective, and inactivating activities were 62.5%, 61.8%, and 83.5%, respectively. These activity values were significantly superior to those of ribavirin (45.9%, 39.8%, and 70.3%) and xiangcaoliusuobingmi (44.7%, 48.3%, and 71.7%) and comparable to those of ningnanmycin (61.9%, 53.3%, and 85.2%). Compound 2y presented an EC50 value of 50.7 mg/L for inactivating activity against TMV, which was superior to those of ningnanmycin (51.5 mg/L), ribavirin (160.4 mg/L), and xiangcaoliusuobingmi (83.0 mg/L). Through transmission electron microscopy, we found that compound 2y caused a certain degree of damage to TMV particles, which caused them to break and bend. Four conventional hydrogen bonds were formed with amino acid residues GLN34, THR37, ARG90, and ARG46 of TMV coat protein (CP) through molecular docking. Microscale thermophoresis test results showed that compound 2y with TMV CP had a strong binding force, and the dissociation constant (Kd) was 1.6 μM. In summary, the cinnamic acid derivatives containing dithioacetal moiety provide a foundation for further research on antiviral agents.

Abstract
In this work, twenty-eight chalcone derivatives containing a purine (sulfur) ether moiety were synthesized and their antiviral activities were evaluated. Biological results showed that compound 5d exhibited outstanding inactive activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in vivo (EC50 = 65.8 μg mL−1), which is significantly superior to that of ribavirin (EC50 = 154.3 μg mL−1). Transmission electron microscopy indicated that compound 5d can break the integrity of TMV particles. The results of microscale thermophoresis, fluorescence titration and molecular docking showed that compound 5d had stronger combining affinity (Ka = 1.02 ×105 L mol−1, Kd = 13.4 μmol L−1) with TMV coat protein (TMV-CP), which is due to the formation of five hydrogen bonds between compound 5d and the amino-acid residues of TMV-CP. These findings revealed that compound 5d can effectively inhibit the infective ability of TMV. This work provides inspiration and reference for the discovery of new antiviral agents. The chalcone derivatives containing a purine (sulfur) ether moiety were synthesized. The antiviral mechanism suggested that the antiviral activity of compound 5d may depend on its stronger binding affinity with TMV-CP.![]()

Abstract
In this paper, a series of novel dithioacetal–naphthalenes were designed and synthesized for plant immunity. Their antiviral activities were evaluated against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). The results indicated that most compounds exhibited better activity against CMV than against TMV. These dithioacetal derivatives also displayed good bacterial activity against rice bacterial leaf blight. Among them, compound S16 exhibited relatively good anti-CMV, anti-TMV, and antibacterial activity. Structure–activity relationships indicated that introducing the naphthalene moiety enhanced their activities for plant resistance induction. Therefore, the basic motif of compound S16 could be the most promising candidate for further structural optimization to develop a potential activator for plant resistance induction. In this paper, a series of novel dithioacetal–naphthalenes were designed and synthesized for plant immunity.![]()

Abstract
Novel purine nucleoside derivatives containing a sulfonamide moiety were prepared, as well as their antiviral activities against potato virus Y (PVY), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) were evaluated. The antiviral mechanisms of the compounds were investigated. Results showed that most of the compounds had good antiviral activities. Compound 5 at 500 μg/mL exhibited excellent curative and protective activities of 52.5% and 60.0% and of 52.0% and 60.2% for PVY and CMV, respectively, which are higher than those of ningnanmycin (48.1%, 49.6%; 45.3%, 47.7%), ribavirin (38.3%, 48.2%; 40.8%, 45.5%), and chitosan oligosaccharide (32.5%, 33.8%; 35.1%, 34.6%). Moreover, compound 5 displayed good inactivating activity against TMV, with an EC50 value of 48.8 μg/mL, which is better than that of ningnanmycin (84.7 μg/mL), ribavirin (150.4 μg/mL), and chitosan oligosaccharide (521.3 μg/mL). The excellent antiviral activity of compound 5 is related to its immune induction effect which can regulate the physiological and biochemical processes in plants, including defense-related enzyme activities, defense-related genes, and photosynthesis-related proteins. These results indicate that purine nucleoside derivatives containing a sulfonamide moiety are worthy of further research and development as new antiviral agents.

Abstract
Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) is a newly reported plant virus that has rapidly spread to all parts of the world, resulting in a serious decline in tomato quality and yield due to the lack of effective control agents. In this study, the ToCV coat protein (ToCVCP) was expressed and purified in Escherichia coli, and a series of novel glucopyranoside derivatives containing a dithioacetal moiety was designed and synthesized. The binding affinity of these compounds to ToCVCP was determined using microscale thermophoresis. Results revealed that compounds 6b and 8a interacted with ToCVCP with Kd values of 0.12 and 0.21 μM, respectively. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the anti-ToCV activity of 6b and 8a in vivo, and both significantly reduced the expression level of ToCVCP gene in tomato compared with commercial antivirus agents. This study provides an efficient and convenient screening method for anti-ToCV agents and reliable support for the development of novel agrochemicals for ToCV.
