Abstract
Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the causes of death in men worldwide. Although treatment strategies have been developed, the recurrence of the disease and consequential side effects remain an essential concern. Diospyros rhodocalyx Kurz, a traditional Thai medicine, exhibits diverse therapeutic properties, including anti-cancer activity. However, its anti-cancer activity against prostate cancer has not been thoroughly explored. This study aims to evaluate the anti-cancer activity and underlying mechanisms of the ethyl acetate extract of D. rhodocalyx Kurz (EADR) related to apoptosis induction in the LNCaP human prostate cancer cell line. Methods Ethyl acetate was employed to extract the dried bark of D. rhodocalyx Kurz. The cytotoxicity of EADR on both LNCaP and WPMY-1 cells (normal human prostatic myofibroblast cell line) was evaluated using MTS assay. The effect of EADR on the cell cycle, apoptosis induction, and alteration in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was assessed by the staining with propidium iodide (PI), Annexin V-FITC/PI, and JC-1 dye, respectively. Subsequent analysis was conducted using flow cytometry. The expression of cleaved caspase-3, BAX, and Bcl-2 was examined by Western blotting. The phytochemical profiling of the EADR was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results EADR exhibited a dose-dependent manner cytotoxic effect on LNCaP cells, with IC50 values of 15.43 and 12.35 µg/mL after 24 and 48 h, respectively. Although it also exhibited a cytotoxic effect on WPMY-1 cells, the effect was comparatively lower, with the IC50 values of 34.61 and 19.93 µg/mL after 24 and 48 h of exposure, respectively. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that EADR did not induce cell cycle arrest in either LNCaP or WPMY-1 cells. However, it significantly increased the sub-G1 population in LNCaP cells, indicating a potential induction of apoptosis. The Annexin V-FITC/PI staining indicated that EADR significantly induced apoptosis in LNCaP cells. Subsequent investigation into the underlying mechanism of EADR-induced apoptosis revealed a reduction in MMP as evidenced by JC-1 staining. Moreover, Western blotting demonstrated that EADR treatment resulted in the upregulation of BAX, downregulation of BCL-2, and elevation of caspase-3 cleavage in LNCaP cells. Notably, the epilupeol was a prominent compound in EADR as identified by GC-MS. Conclusion The EADR exhibits anti-cancer activity against the LNCaP human prostate cancer cell line by inducing cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Our findings suggest that EADR promotes apoptosis by upregulating pro-apoptotic BAX, whereas downregulation of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 results in the reduction of MMP and the activation of caspase-3. Of particular interest is the presence of epilupeol, a major compound identified in EADR, which may hold promise as a candidate for the development of therapeutic agents for prostate cancer.

Abstract
Novel rhein-piperazine-furanone hybrids, 5, were designed and synthesized efficiently from rhein. Cytotoxicity of all hybrids 5a-j against A549 human lung cancer cells was superior to the parent rhein and the reference cytarabine (CAR). Hybrid 5e (IC50 = 5.74 μM), the most potent compound, was 46- and 35-fold more toxic against A549 cells than rhein (IC50 = 265.59 μM) and CAR (IC50 = 202.57 μM), respectively. Moreover, hybrid 5e (IC50 = 69.28 μM) was less toxic to normal WI-38 human lung fibroblast cells with good selectivity (WI-38/A549, SI ≈ 12), being much higher than rhein (SI ≈ 1) and CAR (SI ≈ 2). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis showed that cytotoxicity and selectivity against A549 lung cancer cells were greatly enhanced when methoxy-containing furanone was introduced to the hybrids (5e and 5h). Further, hybrid 5e showed better cytotoxicity against four types of human lung cancer cells (H460, A549, PC-9, and Calu-1; IC50 = 4.35-15.39 μM) than six other types of human cancer cells (SK-BR-3, SK-OV-3, 786-O, Huh-7, HCT116, and HeLa; IC50 = 13.77-60.45 μM), showing specificity. In particular, hybrid 5e showed the highest cytotoxicity (IC50 = 4.35 μM) and the highest selectivity (WI-38/H460, SI ≈ 16) against H460 human lung cancer cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed that hybrid 5e induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner in H460 cells. The results show that the cytotoxicity and selectivity of rhein can be greatly enhanced by hybridization with furanone. Hybrid 5e is expected to be a leading candidate for anti-lung cancer drugs.

Abstract
Butenolides and tetronic acids occupy a prominent position in synthetic chemistry due to their ubiquitous distribution in nature. This has stimulated investigations firstly in the synthesis of such systems and, laterly, the interest has turned to the understanding of the quantum structure of such systems, allowing a deeper understanding of the mechanism and reactivity of this cyclic scaffold. In contrast, tetronamides, which consist of compounds bearing a 4-aminofuran-2(5H)-one backbone, are relatively rare in nature and synthetic routes to such compounds are poorly explored. This review highlights both the importance of the tetronamide scaffold in medicinal chemistry and the most relevant recondite synthetic strategies for obtaining compounds of this class.

Abstract
A series of dihydrofuran-3-one and 9,10-phenanthrenequinone hybrid compounds were synthetized through a one-pot gold-catalyzed oxidative cyclization and Aldol-type addition cascade reaction of homopropargylic alcohols with 9,10-phenanthrenequinone. The cytotoxicity of newly synthesized compounds was evaluated in CCK8 assay against different human cancer cells, showing significantly antiproliferative activity against tested tumor cell lines with a lowest IC50 value of 0.92 μM over HCT-116. Further investigation revealed that the treatment of HCT-116 cell line with the promising compound 4c induced cell death as a selective Akt inhibitor. In addition, controlled experiments and molecular docking study suggested that the significant antitumor activity might be attributed to the unique hybrid structure, which implied the promising potential of this dual heterocycle hybrid method in the discovery of novel bioactive molecules with structural diversity.

Abstract
Using 3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones and easily available hemostatic drugs, such as tranexamic acid (TA), 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid (ABA), aminocaproic acid (AA) as starting materials, serial multi-functional molecules 2(5H)-furanonyl amino acids are designed by the combination of different pharmacophores, and successfully synthesized by a transition metal-free Michael addition-elimination reaction. The reaction is carried out under mild conditions with ethanol-dichloromethane as solvent and only stirring at room temperature for 24 h, and the yield can be up to 91%. All products are well characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS). Ten typical target compounds among them are selected out for the experiments of hemostasis performance by the evaluation of in vitro clot formation model and liver hemorrhage model. The test results show that, their hemostasis effect is better than the original drugs. Especially the target compound G, a TA derivative from 5-borneoloxy-3,4-dibromo-2(5H)-furanone, has the best hemostasis effect among all the tested compounds. These obtained target molecules are expected to be used as multi-functional hemostatic drugs.

Effect of Selected Silyl Groups on the Anticancer Activity of 3,4-Dibromo-5-Hydroxy-Furan-2(5 H)-One Derivatives. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14111079.

Abstract
The pharmacological effects of carbon to silicon bioisosteric replacements have been widely explored in drug design and medicinal chemistry. Here, we present a systematic investigation of the impact of different silyl groups on the anticancer activity of mucobromic acid (MBA) bearing furan-2(5H)-one core. We describe a comprehensive characterization of obtained compounds with respect to their anticancer potency and selectivity towards cancer cells. All four novel compounds exert stronger antiproliferative activity than MBA. Moreover, 3b induce apoptosis in colon cancer cell lines. A detailed investigation of the mechanism of action revealed that 3b activity stems from the down-regulation of survivin and the activation of caspase-3. Furthermore, compound 3b attenuates the clonogenic potential of HCT-116 cells. Interestingly, we also found that depending on the type of the silyl group, compound selectivity towards cancer cells could be precisely controlled. Collectively, we demonstrated the utility of silyl groups for adjusting both the potency and selectivity of silicon-containing compounds. These data reveal a link between the types of silyl group and compound potency, which could have bearings for the design of novel silicon-based anticancer drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 2-Furanones attracted great attention due to their biological activities. They also have the ability to convert to several biologically active heterocyclic and non-heterocyclic compounds, especially as anti-cancer agents. OBJECTIVES This research aims to assist in the development process of novel cytotoxic agents through synthesizing certain 2-furanone derivatives, using them as starting materials for the preparation of novel heterocyclic and non-heterocyclic compounds, and then testing the synthesized derivatives for their anti-cancer activities. METHODS All the newly synthesized compounds were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, Mass, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. 18 synthesized compounds were selected by National Cancer Institute (NCI) for testing against 60 cell lines, and the active compound was tested as MAPK14 and VEGFR2-inhibitor using Staurosporine as standard. RESULTS Compound 3a showed higher activity against several cell lines, including leukemia (SR), Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCI-H460), colon cancer (HCT-116), ovarian cancer (OVCAR-4), renal cancer (786-0, ACHN and UO-31), and finally breast cancer (T-47D). It also had better inhibition activity against MAPK14 than the used reference. CONCLUSION Compound 3a has promising anti-cancer activities compared to the used standards and may need further modifications and investigations.

Abstract
For the first time, eight novel artemisinin-piperazine-furane ether hybrids (5a-h) were efficiently synthesized and investigated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against some human cancer and benign cells. The absolute configuration of hybrid 5c was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Hybrids 5a-h exhibited more pronounced growth-inhibiting action on hepatocarcinoma cell lines than their parent dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and the reference cytosine arabinoside (ARA). The hybrid 5a showed the best cytotoxic activity against human hepatocarcinoma cells SMMC-7721 (IC50 = 0.26 ± 0.03 μM) after 24 h. Furthermore, hybrid 5a also showed good cytotoxic activity against human breast cancer cells MCF-7 and low cytotoxicity against human breast benign cells MCF-10A in vitro. We found the cytotoxicity of hybrid 5a did not change when tumour cells absorb iron sulfate (FeSO4); thus, we conclude the anti-tumour mechanism induced by iron ions (Fe2+) is unclear.

Abstract
A series of (E)-N-2(5H)-furanonyl sulfonyl hydrazone derivatives have been rationally designed and efficiently synthesized by one-pot reaction with good yields for the first time. This green approach with wide substrate range and good selectivity can be achieved at room temperature in a short time in the presence of metal-free catalyst. The cytotoxic activities against three human cancer cell lines of all newly obtained compounds have been evaluated by MTT assay. Among them, compound 5 k exhibits high cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells with an IC50 value of 14.35 μM. The cytotoxic mechanism may involve G2/M phase arrest pathway, which is probably caused by activating DNA damage. Comet test and immunofluorescence results show that compound 5 k can induce DNA damage in time- and dose-dependent manner. Importantly, 5 k also can effectively inhibit the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and angiogenesis in the zebrafish xenograft model. It is potential to further develop N-2(5H)-furanonyl sulfonyl hydrazone derivatives as potent drugs for breast cancer treatment with higher cytotoxic activity by modifying the structure of the compound.

Abstract
In recent years, a large number of pharmacologically active compounds containing a butenolide functional group have been isolated from secondary metabolites of marine microorganisms. Butyrolactone I was found to be produced by Aspergillus terreus isolated from several marine-derived samples. The hypoglycemic activity of butyrolactone I has aroused our great interest. In this study, we synthesized six racemic butenolide derivatives (namely BL-1–BL-6) by modifying the C-4 side chain of butyrolactone I. Among them, BL-3 and BL-5 improved the insulin resistance of HepG2 cells and did not affect the proliferation of RIN-m5f cell line, which indicated the efficacy and safety of BL-3 and BL-5. Furthermore, BL-3, BL-4, BL-5, and BL-6 displayed a significant protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory effect, while the enantiomers of BL-3 displayed different 50% percentage inhibition concentration (IC50) values against PTP1B. The results of molecular docking simulation of the BLs and PTP1B explained the differences of biological consequences observed between the enantiomers of BL-3, which supported BLs as PTP1B inhibitors, and also indicated that the chirality of C-4 might influence the inhibitory effect of the BLs. Our findings provide a novel strategy for the development of butyrolactone derivatives as potential PTP1B inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
A series of amino acid derivatives are successfully synthesized via a metal-free C-N coupling reaction of 5-alkoxy-3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones and amino acids. Their structures are well characterized with 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. As potential linkers of the 2(5H)-furanone unit with other drug moieties containing a hydroxyl or amino group, the effect of amino acids is investigated by comparison with other 2(5H)-furanone compounds by constructing C-O/C-S bonds. The preliminary results of the biological activity assay by the MTT method on a series of cancer cell lines in vitro reveal that the introduction of amino acids basically has no toxic effect. This can lead to these 2(5H)-furanone derivatives being further well-linked with other bioactive moieties with amino or hydroxy groups as expected. Thus, the biological activity assay gives a direction for the design of bioactive 2(5H)-furanones based on these amino acid linkers.

Abstract
A direct C(sp2)-H amination of 2-furanones under metal-free conditions was realized. This unprecedented intermolecular C-H to C-N conversion provides rapid access to 4-amino-furanone derivatives and novel aza-heterocycle fused furanone skeletons. A redox mechanism based on a double-Michael-addition intermediate INT2 is proposed and detected by spectrometry.

Abstract
The development of efficient synthetic strategies for the discovery of novel antitumor molecules is a major goal in current research. In this context, we report here a catalytic double cyclization process leading to bicyclic heterocycles with significant antitumor activity on different human breast cancer (BC) cell lines. The products, 6,6a-dihydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-2(5H)-ones, were obtained in one step, starting from simple substrates (4-yne-1,3-diols, CO, and O2), under the catalytic action of PdI2 in conjunction with KI. These compounds have significant antiproliferative activity in vitro on human BC cell lines, both hormone receptor positive (MCF-7) and triple negative (triple-negative breast cancer [TNBC]; MDA-MB-231 and MDAMB-468), while exhibiting practically no effects on normal MCF-10A (human mammary epithelial) and 3T3-L1 (murine fibroblasts) cells. Thus, these compounds have the potential to expand the therapeutic options against BC, and in particular, against its most aggressive forms (TNBCs). Moreover, the present synthetic approach may provide an economic benefit for their production.

Abstract
O-Heterocycles have been explored in the field of medicinal chemistry for a long time, but their significance has not been duly recognised and they are often shunned in favour of N-heterocycles. The design of bioactive molecules for nearly every pathophysiological condition is primarily focused on novel N-heterocycles. The main reasons for such bias include the ease of synthesis and possible mimicking of physiological molecules by N-heterocycles. But considering only this criterion rarely provides breakthrough molecules for a given disease condition, and instead the risks of toxicity or side effects are increased with such molecules. On the other hand, owing to improved synthetic feasibility, O-heterocycles have established themselves as equally potent lead molecules for a wide range of pathophysiological conditions. In the last decade there have been hundreds of reports validating the fact that equally potent molecules can be designed and developed by using O-heterocycles, and these are also expected to have comparably low toxicity. Even so, researchers tend to remain biased toward the use of N-heterocycles over O-heterocycles. Thus, this review provides a critical analysis of the synthesis and medicinal attributes of O-heterocycles, such as pyrones, oxazolones, furanones, oxetanes, oxazolidinones, and dioxolonones, and others, reported in the last five years, underlining the need for and the advantages guiding researchers toward them.
