A sulfonamide chalcone inhibited dengue virus with a potential target at the SAM-binding site of viral methyltransferase. Antiviral Res 2023; 220:105753.

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.

Abstract
Cerebral malaria is a severe complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection with a complex pathophysiology. The current course of treatment is ineffective in lowering mortality or post-treatment side effects such as neurological and cognitive abnormalities. Chalcones are enormously distributed in spices, fruits, vegetables, tea, and soy-based foodstuffs that are well known for their antimalarial activity, and in recent years they have been widely explored for brain diseases like Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, considering the previous background of chalcones serving as both antimalarial and neuroprotective, the present study aimed to study the effect of these chalcone derivatives on an experimental model of cerebral malaria (CM). CM-induced mice were tested behaviorally (elevated plus maze, rota rod test, and hanging wire test), biochemically (nitric oxide estimation, cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, TNF, IFN-y), histopathologically and immunohistochemically, and finally ultrastructural changes were examined using a transmission electron microscope. All three chalcones treated groups showed a significant (p < 0.001) decrease in percentage parasitemia at the 10th day post-infection. Mild anxiolytic activity of chalcones as compared to standard treatment with quinine has been observed during behavior tests. No pigment deposition was observed in the QNN-T group and other chalcone derivative treated groups. Rosette formation was seen in the derivative 1 treated group. The present derivatives may be pioneered by various research and science groups to design such a scaffold that will be a future antimalarial with therapeutic potential or, because of its immunomodulatory properties, it could be used as an adjunct therapy.

Abstract
Breast and cervical cancer account for the majority of cancer-narrated fatalities among women worldwide, necessitating the development of novel, effective therapeutic ways to combat the disease. In this study, we synthesized 6-methoxy naphthalene and anthracene-based acrylamide chalcone (NBA and ABA) and evaluated its activity for cell multiplication inhibition against two cancer cell lines from humans such as MCF-7 (Human Breast) and HeLa (Cervical) by MTT assay. Physiochemical characterization, such as FT-IR and NMR analyses, validated the synthesized NBA and ABA. Both NBA and ABA have shown antiproliferative action against two cancer cell lines, each with IC50 values of 38.46 and 48.25 μg/mL for HeLa cells and 38.02 and 36.35 μg/mL for MCF-7 cell lines. The results suggest that these acrylamide chalcones for cancer therapy at the lowest concentration. NBA and ABA could prevent cervical and breast cancer in-vitro, and their anti-cancer activity was closely related to methoxy-substituted naphthalene, anthracene ring, α, β-unsaturated carbonyl and amide group. According to docking data, the NBA and ABA have dock scores ranging from -8.7 to -11.44 kcal/mol. The highest dock score for compound ABA was -11.58 kcal/mol and compound NBA was -10.77 kcal/mol with Braf (5VAM) binding site.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malaria is a complex issue due to the availability of few therapies and chemical families against Plasmodium and mosquitoes. There is increasing resistance to various drugs and insecticides in Plasmodium and in the vector. Additionally, human behaviors are responsible for promoting resistance as well as increasing the risk of exposure to infections. Chalcones and their derivatives have been widely explored for their antimalarial effects. In this context, new derivatives of chalcones have been evaluated for their antimalarial efficacy. METHODS BALB/c mice were infected with P. berghei NK-65. The efficacy of the three most potent chalcone derivations (1, 2, and 3) identified after an in vitro compound screening test was tested. The selected doses of 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg were studied by evaluating parasitemia, changes in temperature, body weights, organ weights, histopathological features, nitric oxide, cytokines, and ICAM-1 expression. Also, localization of parasites inside the two vital tissues involved during malaria infections was done through a transmission electron microscope. RESULTS All three chalcone derivative treated groups showed significant (p < 0.001) reductions in parasitemia levels on the fifth and eighth days of post-infection compared to the infected control. These derivatives were found to modulate the immune response in a P. berghei infected malaria mouse model with a significant reduction in IL-12 levels. CONCLUSIONS The present study indicates the potential inhibitory and immunomodulatory actions of chalcones against the rodent malarial parasite P. berghei.

Abstract
Chalcones have been well examined in the extant literature and demonstrated antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. A detailed evaluation of the purported health benefits of chalcone and its derivatives, including molecular mechanisms of pharmacological activities, can be further explored. Therefore, this review aimed to describe the main characteristics of chalcone and its derivatives, including their method synthesis and pharmacotherapeutics applications with molecular mechanisms. The presence of the reactive α,β-unsaturated system in the chalcone’s rings showed different potential pharmacological properties, including inhibitory activity on enzymes, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, antiprotozoal, and anti-filarial activity. Changing the structure by adding substituent groups to the aromatic ring can increase potency, reduce toxicity, and broaden pharmacological action. This report also summarized the potential health benefits of chalcone derivatives, particularly antimicrobial activity. We found that several chalcone compounds can inhibit diverse targets of antibiotic-resistance development pathways; therefore, they overcome resistance, and bacteria become susceptible to antibacterial compounds. A few chalcone compounds were more active than conventional antibiotics, like vancomycin and tetracycline. On another note, a series of pyran-fused chalcones and trichalcones can block the NF-B signaling complement system implicated in inflammation, and several compounds demonstrated more potent lipoxygenase inhibition than NSAIDs, such as indomethacin. This report integrated discussion from the domains of medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis, and diverse pharmacological applications, particularly for the development of new anti-infective agents that could be a useful reference for pharmaceutical scientists.

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
In the acridinedione core of the title molecule, C31H35N1O4, the central ring adopts a flattened-boat conformation, whereas the cyclohexenone rings adopt envelope conformations. In the fused ring system of the title molecule, C31H35NO4, the conformation of the central dihydropyridine ring is intermediate between boat and envelope with the N and the opposite C atoms lying out of the basal plane. The conformations of terminal rings are close to envelope, with the atoms substituted by two methyl groups as the flaps. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into helical chains. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (63.2%), O⋯H/H⋯O (20.1%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (14.4%) contacts. Quantum chemical calculations of the frontier molecular orbitals were carried out to characterize the chemical reactivity of the title compound.

Abstract
In an attempt to find the biorational pesticides, 20 novel chalcone derivatives containing a piperazine fragment were designed and synthesized. Their fungicidal activities and preliminarily action mechanism against Rhizoctonia solani were evaluated. Strikingly, the biological activity of compound D2 was obtained by optimizing the structure of the system. Subsequently, the practical value of compound D2 was ascertained by the relative surveys on in vivo anti-R. solani and anti-Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The results revealed by scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that compound D2 could induce irregular and shrivelled growth of mycelium and rupture of the mycelium surface. This study indicates that chalcone derivatives containing a piperazine skeleton had better inhibitory effect on plant fungi, providing further complementary research on new pesticides.

Design, synthesis and antibacterial activity of chalcones against MSSA and MRSA planktonic cells and biofilms. Bioorg Chem 2021; 116:105279.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is the one of the most successful modern pathogens. The same bacterium that lives as a skin and mucosal commensal can be transmitted in health-care and community-settings and causes severe infections. Thus, there is a great challenge for a discovery of novel anti-Staphylococcus aureus compounds, which should act against resistant strains. Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of 17 chalcones, substituted by amino group on ring A, which were evaluated against methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus MRSA planktonic cells. The antibacterial potency was improved by substituents on ring B, which were designed according to Topliss' manual method. 4-bromo-3'-aminochalcone (5f) was the most active, demonstrating minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 1.9 μg mL-1 and 7.8 µg mL-1 against MSSA and MRSA, respectively. The association of 5f with vancomycin demonstrated synergistic effect against MSSA and MRSA, with Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) values of 0.4 and 0.3, respectively. Subinhibitory concentration of 5f inhibited the MSSA and MRSA adhesion to human keratinocytes. Chalcone 5f was able to reduce MSSA and MRSA biofilm formation, as well as acts on preformed biofilm in concentration-dependent mode. Scanning electron microscopy analyses confirmed severe perturbations caused by 5f on MSSA and MRSA biofilm architecture. The acute toxicity assay, using Galleria mellonella larvae, indicated a low toxic effect of 5f after 72 h, displaying lethality of 20% and 30% at 7.8 μg mL-1 and 78.0 μg mL-1, respectively. In addition, the antibacterial activity spectrum of 5f indicated action against planktonic cells of Enterococcus faecalis (MIC = 7.8 μg mL-1), Acinetobacter baumannii (MIC = 15.6 μg mL-1) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC = 5.7 μg mL-1). Altogether, these results open new avenues for 5f as an anti-Staphylococcus aureus agent, with potential applications as antibacterial drug, adjunct of antibiotics and medical devices coating.

Abstract
Molecular hybridization is a drug discovery strategy that involves the rational design of new chemical entities by the fusion (usually via a covalent linker) of two or more drugs, both active compounds and/or pharmacophoric units recognized and derived from known bioactive molecules. The expected outcome of this chemical modification is to produce a new hybrid compound with improved affinity and efficacy compared to the parent drugs. Additionally, this strategy can result in compounds presenting modified selectivity profiles, different and/or dual modes of action, reduced undesired side effects and ultimately lead to new therapies. In this study, molecular hybridization was used to generate new molecular hybrids which were tested against the chloroquine sensitive (NF54) strain of P. falciparum. To prepare the new molecular hybrids, the quinoline nucleus, one of the privileged scaffolds, was coupled with various chalcone derivatives via an appropriate linker to produce a total of twenty-two molecular hybrids in 11%–96% yield. The synthesized compounds displayed good antiplasmodial activity with IC50 values ranging at 0.10–4.45 μM.

Abstract
Malaria is among the deadliest infectious diseases in the world caused by Plasmodium parasites. Due to the high complexity of the parasite’s life cycle, we partly depend on antimalarial drugs to fight this disease. However, the emergence of resistance, mainly by Plasmodium falciparum, has dethroned most of the antimalarials developed to date. Given recent reports of resistance to artemisinin combination therapies, first-line treatment currently recommended by the World Health Organization, in Western Cambodia and across the Greater Mekong sub-region, it seems very likely that artemisinin and its derivatives will follow the same path of other antimalarial drugs. Consequently, novel, safe and efficient antimalarial drugs are urgently needed. One fast and low-cost strategy to accelerate antimalarial development is by recycling classical pharmacophores. Quinacrine, an acridine-based compound and the first clinically tested synthetic antimalarial drug with potent blood schizonticide but serious side effects, has attracted attention due to its broad spectrum of biological activity. In this sense, the present review will focus on efforts made in the last 20 years for the development of more efficient, safer and affordable antimalarial compounds, through recycling the classical quinacrine drug.

Abstract
Chalcones are among the leading bioactive flavonoids with a therapeutic potential implicated to an array of bioactivities investigated by a series of preclinical and clinical studies. In this article, different scientific databases were searched to retrieve studies depicting the biological activities of chalcones and their derivatives. This review comprehensively describes preclinical studies on chalcones and their derivatives describing their immense significance as antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiparasitic, psychoactive, and neuroprotective agents. Besides, clinical trials revealed their use in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, skin conditions, and cancer. Bioavailability studies on chalcones and derivatives indicate possible hindrance and improvement in relation to its nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications. Multifaceted and complex underlying mechanisms of chalcone actions demonstrated their ability to modulate a number of cancer cell lines, to inhibit a number of pathological microorganisms and parasites, and to control a number of signaling molecules and cascades related to disease modification. Clinical studies on chalcones revealed general absence of adverse effects besides reducing the clinical signs and symptoms with decent bioavailability. Further studies are needed to elucidate their structure activity, toxicity concerns, cellular basis of mode of action, and interactions with other molecules.

Abstract
Chalcones have shown a broad spectrum of biological activities with clinical potential against various diseases. The biological activities are mainly attributed to the presence of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl system, perceived as potential Michael acceptors. In this review, we discussed the antioxidant potential of chalcones and elucidated the mechanisms of pathways and proteins such as carbohydrate digestive enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase), aldose reductase, SGLT-2, and Nrf2 that are targeted by antidiabetic chalcones. In addition to their insulin mimetic potential, we explore the major molecular targets of chalcones and discuss the biochemical and therapeutic implication of modulating these targets. Finally, we dwell on the opulence of the literature and envisage how RNA interference-mediated gene silencing technique and in silico molecular docking could be exploited in the search for novel and more efficacious antidiabetic chalcones.

Abstract
In this study, newly synthesised compounds 6, 8, 10 and other compounds (1-5, 7 and 9) and their inhibitory properties against the human isoforms hCA I and hCA II were reported for the first time. Compounds 1-10 showed effective inhibition profiles with KI values in the range of 5.13-16.9 nM for hCA I and of 11.77-67.39 nM against hCA II, respectively. Molecular docking studies were also performed with Glide XP to get insight into the inhibitory activity and to evaluate the binding modes of the synthesised compounds to hCA I and II. More rigorous binding energy calculations using MM-GBSA protocol which agreed well with observed activities were then performed to improve the docking scores. Results of in silico calculations showed that all compounds obey drug likeness properties. The new compounds reported here might be promising lead compounds for the development of new potent inhibitors as alternatives to classical hCA inhibitors.

[PMID: 33213087 PMCID: PMC7698532 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25225381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Chalcones, members of the flavonoid family, display a plethora of interesting biological activities including but not limited to antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiprotozoal activities. The literature cites the synthesis and activity of a range of natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic chalcones. The current review comprehensively covers the literature on amino-substituted chalcones and includes chalcones with amino-groups at various positions on the aromatic rings as well as those with amino-groups containing mono alkylation, dialkylation, alkenylation, acylation, and sulfonylation. The aminochalcones are categorized according to their structure, and the corresponding biological activities are discussed as well. Some compounds showed high potency against cancer cells, microbes, and malaria, whereas others did not. The purpose of this review is to serve as a one-stop location for information on the aminochalcones reported in the literature in recent years.

Abstract
To date, more than a thousand research articles have been published detailing various regio-, stereo-, chemo-, and enantioselective specific synthesis of the cyclic sulfonamides (sultams). Although enormous synthetic efforts were made, but bioactivities of sultams have not been widely investigated. Sultams are the sulfur analogs of lactams (cyclic amides) which demonstrate a broad range of medicinal activities and several lactam drugs are commercially available. In contrast, only a few sultam drugs are commercially available, while the presence of two oxygens on sulfur in sultam motifs can serve as a better H-bond acceptor than lactam scaffolds. One of the major objectives of this minireview is to draw appropriate attention from the medicinal/pharmaceutical chemists to conduct indepth research on sultam derivatives targeted to the development of new drugs. This article gives a brief account of the synthesis, potential bioactivity, and mechanisms of therapeutic action of four to seven-membered sultam derivatives. Based on the available literature, this is the first effort to consolidate only the medicinally privileged sultam molecules and drugs under the same umbrella. While every effort was taken to comprise all the relevant reports related to bioactive sultams, any oversight is truly unintentional.

Abstract
Malaria, one of the most striking, re-emerging infectious diseases caused by the genus Plasmodium, places a huge burden on global healthcare systems. A major challenge in the control and eradication of malaria is the continuous emergence of increasingly widespread drug-resistant malaria, creating an urgent need to develop novel antimalarial agents. Chalcone derivatives are ubiquitous in nature and have become indispensable units in medicinal chemistry applications due to their diverse biological profiles. Many chalcone derivatives demonstrate potential in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activity, so chalcone could be a useful template for the development of novel antimalarial agents. This review covers the recent development of chalcone hybrids as antimalarial agents. The critical aspects of the design and structure-activity relationship of these compounds are also discussed.

Chalcones and Flavanones Bearing Hydroxyl and/or Methoxyl Groups: Synthesis and Biological Assessments. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2019.

Abstract
Chalcones and flavanones are isomeric structures and also classes of natural products, belonging to the flavonoid family. Moreover, their wide range of biological activities makes them key scaffolds for the synthesis of new and more efficient drugs. In this work, the synthesis of hydroxy and/or methoxychalcones was studied using less common bases, such as sodium hydride (NaH) and lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiHMDS), in the aldol condensation. The results show that the use of NaH was more effective for the synthesis of 2′-hydroxychalcone derivatives, while LiHMDS led to the synthesis of polyhydroxylated chalcones in a one-pot process. During this study, it was also possible to establish the conditions that favor their isomerization into flavanones, allowing at the same time the synthesis of hydroxy and/or methoxyflavanones. The chalcones and flavanones obtained were evaluated to disclose their antioxidant, anticholinesterasic, antibacterial and antitumor activities. 2′,4′,4-Trihydroxychalcone was the most active compound in terms of antioxidant, anti-butyrylcholinesterase (IC50 26.55 ± 0.55 μg/mL, similar to control drug donepezil, IC50 28.94 ± 1.76 μg/mL) and antimicrobial activity. 4′,7-Dihydroxyflavanone presented dual inhibition, that is, the ability to inhibit both cholinesterases. 4′-Hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxyflavanone and 2′-hydroxy-4-methoxychalcone were the compounds with the best antitumor activity. The substitution pattern and the biological assay results allowed the establishment of some structure/activity relationships.

Abstract
A series of novel chalcone derivatives containing the 1,2,4-triazine moiety were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analyses. Antiviral bioassays revealed that most of the compounds exhibited good antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at a concentration of 500 μg mL-1. The designated compound 4l was 50% effective in terms of curative and protective activities against TMV with 50% effective concentrations (EC50) of 10.9 and 79.4 μg mL-1, which were better than those of ningnanmycin (81.4 and 82.2 μg mL-1). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) also showed that the binding of compound 4l to coat protein (TMV-CP) yielded a K d value of 0.275 ± 0.160 μmol L-1, which was better than that of ningnanmycin (0.523 ± 0.250 μmol L-1). At the same time, molecular docking studies for 4l with TMV-CP (PDB code:1EI7) showed that the compound was embedded well in the pocket between the two subunits of TMV-CP. Meanwhile, compound 4a demonstrated excellent antibacterial activities against Ralstonia solanacearum (R. solanacearum), with an EC50 value of 0.1 μg mL-1, which was better than that of thiodiazole-copper (36.1 μg mL-1) and bismerthiazol (49.5 μg mL-1). The compounds act by causing folding and deformation of the bacterial cell membrane as observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chalcone derivatives thus synthesized could become potential alternative templates for novel antiviral and antibacterial agents.

elucidation was carried out by H-NMR, 13C-NMR, Mass spectrometry and FTIR. For the determination
of inhibition potency of synthesized compounds, spectrophotometric method was applied
whereas, DPPH free radical scavenging method was used to check the antioxidant ability.
</P><P>
Results: Chalcones and their pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized and characterised by 1HNMR,
13C-NMR, Mass spectrometry and FTIR. The compounds were screened for their anti-
Alzheimer activity, which exhibited that compounds 1g, 1c and 1h, 1g showed strong inhibitory
potency against acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging
method was applied to check anti-oxidant potential of synthesized compounds and results
explored that among all the synthesized compounds only compounds 1c and 1b showed strong
scavenging potential.

Abstract
A series of novel chalcone derivatives containing a thiophene sulfonate group were designed and synthesized. The structures of all title compounds were determined by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HRMS. Antibacterial bioassays indicated that, compound 2l demonstrated excellent antibacterial activities against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), with an EC50 value of 11.4 μg mL−1, which is significantly superior to those of bismerthiazol (BT) (51.6 μg mL−1) and thiodiazole-copper (TC) (94.7 μg mL−1). Meanwhile, the mechanism of action of compound 2l was confirmed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, compound 2e showed remarkable inactivation activity against Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), with an EC50 value of 44.3 μg mL−1, which was superior to that of ningnanmycin (120.6 μg mL−1). Microscale thermophoresis (MST) also showed that the binding of compounds 2e and 2h to Tobacco mosaic virus coat protein (TMV-CP) yielded Kd values of 0.270 and 0.301 μmol L−1, which are better than that of ningnanmycin (0.596 μmol L−1). At the same time, molecular docking studies for 2e and 2h with TMV-CP (PDB code: 1EI7) showed that the compound was embedded well in the pocket between the two subunits of TMV-CP in each case. These results suggested that chalcone derivatives containing a thiophene sulfonate group may be considered as activators in the design of antibacterial and antiviral agents.

Abstract
In the structure of the title compound C33H29BrClNO4, (I), the hexa-hydro-2H-acridine ring system has a hy-droxy-ethyl substituent on the N atom and a 3-bromo-6-chloro-2-hy-droxy-phenyl substituent on the central C atom at the 9-position. An unusual feature of the mol-ecule is that the substituents at the 3- and 5-positions of the outer cyclo-hexenone rings are phenyl rings rather than the more common dimethyl substituents. C atoms on both of the cyclo-hexenone rings are disordered over two sites. In the crystal structure, O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π(ring) hydrogen bonds combine with an Br-O and unusual C-Br⋯π(ring) halogen bonds to generate a three dimensional network with mol-ecules stacked along the a-axis direction.

Abstract
AIM Tuberculosis is responsible for 9.6 million infections and 1.5 million deaths in 2015. The development of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant strains has impeded the development of effective antitubercular therapy. Results/methodology: The present manuscript describes the synthesis of a series of 4-aminoquinoline-ferrocenylchalcone conjugates via Cu-promoted Huisgen's azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction and evaluation of their antitubercular activities against mc26230 strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The conjugate 11j proved to be the most potent of the synthesized conjugates with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC99) value of 30 μM and proved to be noncytotoxic against HeLa cells. CONCLUSION The synthesized conjugates can act as starting point for the development of new antitubercular agents. Synthesis and antitubercular evaluation of 1H-1,2,3-triazole-tethered 4-aminoquinoline-ferrocenylchalcone conjugates. [Formula: see text].

Abstract
A serious Mosquito borne yellow fever is one of the grave diseases which affect the major population. Since there is no specific treatment for yellow fever, there is a necessity to develop an effective agent. The series of acridinone analogues 3 to 5 were synthesized with help of non-conventional microwave heating and confirmed by respective spectral characterization. 5c and 3b showed highest activity to kill 90% of larvae against A. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus, respectively. Also the active products were treated to check the mortality of non-target aquatic species. Through the reports of the larvicidal bioassay, compounds 3b against C. quinquefasciatus whereas 5c against A. aegypti were found to be more active. By keeping this as a platform, further extension of the work can be done to find out a valuable drug for controlling disease vectors.
