Abstract
Chalcone is a simple naturally occurring α,β-unsaturated ketone with biological importance, which can also be easily synthesized in laboratories by reaction between two aromatic scaffolds. In plants, chalcones occur as polyphenolic compounds of different frameworks which are bioactive molecules that have been in traditional medicinal practice for many years. Chalcone-based lead molecules have been developed, possessing varied potentials such as antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-oxidant, antidiabetic, antihyperurecemic, and anti-ulcer effects. Chalcones contribute considerable fragments to give important heterocyclic molecules with therapeutic utilities targeting various diseases. These characteristic features have made chalcone a topic of interest among researchers and have attracted investigations into this widely applicable structure. This review highlights the extensive exploration carried out on the synthesis, biotransformations, chemical reactions, hybridization, and pharmacological potentials of chalcones, and aims to provide an extensive, thorough, and critical review of their importance, with emphasis on their properties, chemistry, and biomedical applications to boost future investigations into this potential scaffold in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
The unique therapeutic and biological characteristics of spirooxindole have led to the presentation of numerous reactions for the synthesis of spirooxindoles through 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of highly reactive isatin-derived azomethine ylides with activated olefins as the main tool for the formation of spirocyclic oxindoles during the last 4 years. Therefore, there is a need to highlight the recent developments in this area, along with the representative synthetic methods and relevant reaction mechanisms from 2018 to 2021. The representative synthetic methodologies were listed in four sections based on the procedure to form the azomethine ylide species including isatins and amino acids, isatin-derived α-(trifluoromethyl)imine, isatins and benzylamines, and from isatin-derived cyclic imine 1,3-dipoles.

[PMID: 37108498 PMCID: PMC10139052 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24087336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
A highly stereo-selective, one-pot, multicomponent method was chosen to synthesize the novel functionalized 1, 3-cycloaddition spirooxindoles (SOXs) (4a-4h). Synthesized SOXs were analyzed for their drug-likeness and ADME parameters and screened for their anticancer activity. Our molecular docking analysis revealed that among all derivatives of SOXs (4a-4h), 4a has a substantial binding affinity (∆G) -6.65, -6.55, -8.73, and -7.27 Kcal/mol with CD-44, EGFR, AKR1D1, and HER-2, respectively. A functional study demonstrated that SOX 4a has a substantial impact on human cancer cell phenotypes exhibiting abnormality in cytoplasmic and nuclear architecture as well as granule formation leading to cell death. SOX 4a treatment robustly induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in cancer cells as observed by enhanced DCFH-DA signals. Overall, our results suggest that SOX (4a) targets CD-44, EGFR, AKR1D1, and HER-2 and induces ROS generation in cancer cells. We conclude that SOX (4a) could be explored as a potential chemotherapeutic molecule against various cancers in appropriate pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo model systems.

Abstract
Spirocyclic frameworks have attracted synthetic practitioners due to their unique three-dimensional assembly, improved metabolic stability, solubility, and increased molecular complexity with regard to planar architectures. A recent surge in the number of spirocyclic oxindoles inhibiting enzymes, moderating unique protein-protein interactions, modulating receptors and transporters is testament to their prevalence. Against this background, the construction of spirocyclic frameworks containing an oxindole moiety as a torsional switch via stereoselective methods is in great demand. Herein we present a summary of the past three years in the progress of metal, organic molecule, nanostructured particle mediated, and even uncatalyzed versions of the highly diastereo- and enantioselective pathways leading to oxindole spirocycles.

Abstract
Five new spiro[indoline-3,3'-indolizine]s have been synthesized with high regio- and stereospecificity in one-pot three-component reactions between a substituted indole-2,3-dione, (S)-pipecolic acid and trans-3-benzoylacrylic acid, and subsequently characterized using a combination of elemental analysis, IR and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and crystal structure analysis. (1'SR,2'SR,3RS,8a'RS)-2'-Benzoyl-5-fluoro-2-oxo-1',5',6',7',8',8a'-hexahydro-2'H-spiro[indoline-3,3'-indolizine]-1'-carboxylic acid, C23H21FN2O4, (I), and (1'SR,2'SR,3RS,8a'RS)-2'-benzoyl-5-methyl-2-oxo-1',5',6',7',8',8a'-hexahydro-2'H-spiro[indoline-3,3'-indolizine]-1'-carboxylic acid, C24H24N2O4, (II), are isomorphous, as are (1'SR,2'SR,3RS,8a'RS)-2'-benzoyl-1-methyl-2-oxo-1',5',6',7',8',8a'-hexahydro-2'H-spiro[indoline-3,3'-indolizine]-1'-carboxylic acid, C24H24N2O4, (III), and (1'SR,2'SR,3RS,8a'RS)-2'-benzoyl-5-chloro-1-methyl-2-oxo-1',5',6',7',8',8a'-hexahydro-2'H-spiro[indoline-3,3'-indolizine]-1'-carboxylic acid, C24H23ClN2O4, (IV). Within each isomorphous pair, the spiro ring systems show some conformational differences. In each of (I) and (II), the molecules are linked into complex sheets by a combination of four types of hydrogen bond, and in each of (III) and (IV), a combination of O-H...O and C-H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds links the molecules to form a chain of centrosymmetric rings. In (1'SR,2'SR,3RS,8a'RS)-2'-benzoyl-1-hexyl-2-oxo-1',5',6',7',8',8a'-hexahydro-2'H-spiro[indoline-3,3'-indolizine]-1'-carboxylic acid, C29H34N2O4, (V), a combination of five hydrogen bonds links the molecules into sheets of alternating R22(16) and R66(46) rings. A mechanism is proposed for the formation of compounds (I)-(V) and some comparisons with related structures are made.

Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of a New Series of Spirooxindole Pyrrolidine Grafted Thiochromene Scaffolds as Potential Anticancer Agents. Symmetry (Basel) 2021.

Abstract
A series of new spiro-heterocycles engrafted spirooxindole/pyrrolidine/thiochromene scaffolds was synthesized by the three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions in a fully controlled regio- and stereo-selective fashion. Condensation of several substituted isatin derivatives with L-proline generated the azomethine ylides which subsequently reacted with chalcones based thiochromene scaffold, and finally afforded the target spiro-compounds. This simple protocol furnished a structurally complex, biologically relevant spiro-heterocycles in good yields through a one-pot process. All synthesized chalcone-based thiochromene, along with the spirooxindole/pyrrolidine/thiochromene scaffolds, were tested for their anticancer activity against four cancer cell lines (PC3, HeLa, MCF-7, and MDA-MB231). Toxicity of these compounds was also evaluated against human fibroblast BJ cell line, and they appeared to be not cytotoxic. For the prostate cancer (PC3) cell line, the most active hybrid, among synthesized series, was compound (7f, IC50 = 8.7 ± 0.7 µM). The most potent spirooxindole/pyrrolidine/thiochromene hybrid against cervical (HeLa) cancer cells was compound (7k, IC50 = 8.4 ± 0.5 µM) having chlorine and p-trifluoromethyl substituents attached to phenyl rings. Finally, against the MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 breast cancer cell lines, compound (7d) was the most active member of this series (IC50 = 7.36 ± 0.37, and 9.44 ± 0.32 µM, respectively).
