Abstract
BACKGROUND Xanthenes and benzoxanthenesare are highly valuable compounds in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. Xanthene derivatives were found to have many applications in medicinal chemistry. OBJECTIVE This work aims to explore the synthesis of xanthene derivatives with various substituents and find the possibility of their uses as anticancer agents. METHOD The basic starting compound through this work was the 2,3-dihydro-1H-xanthen-1-one (3), which was synthesized from the reaction of cyclohexan-1,3-dione and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Compound 3 synthesized new thiophene, pyrimidine, isoxazole, and thiazole derivatives based on the xanthenes nucleus. Fused xanthene derivatives were obtained through further heterocyclization reactions. Multicomponent reactions expressed in this work were carried out in the presence of solvent catalyzed by Et3N and in solvent-free ionic liquid immobilized catalyst. RESULTS Cytotoxicity for the newly synthesized compounds toward cancer cell lines was measured, and the results revealed that many compounds exhibited high inhibitions. CONCLUSION The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized compounds was studied on six selected cancer cell lines. The nature of the heterocyclic ring and the variations of substituted groups showed a high effect through the inhibitions of the tested compound.

Abstract
The mercury-loving unit aminothiourea was introduced into the xanthene fluorophore to synthesized the probe molecule NXH. NXH has a specific response to Hg2+, and with the addition of (0 ~ 50 µM) Hg2+, the fluorescence intensity of the probe solution was quenched from 2352 a.u. to about 308 a.u. NXH exhibited excellent detection performance of high sensitivity (LOD = 96.3 nM), real-time response (105 s), wide pH range (2.1 ~ 9.3), and strong anti-interference ability for Hg2+. At the same time, NXH has wide range of applications for Hg2+ detection, which can fluorescence imaging of Hg2+ in Hela cells and tea samples, and can also be made into Hg2+ detection test paper.

Abstract
In this paper, an Hg2+ detection probe, HOS, was prepared with a xanthene as the parent fluorophore. Hg2+-initiated thioacetal deprotection reaction is the detection mechanism of this probe. After testing, the probe HOS was able to accurately determine Hg2+ with a detection limit of 36 nM. It was successfully applied to the detection of Hg2+ in different water samples and shrimp samples, meanwhile, the filter paper strips prepared by HOS were obviously changed from light yellow to dark yellow under daylight, and from green to yellow under 365 nm UV light. Furthermore, probe HOS enabled Hg2+ bioimaging experiments on HepG2 cells, zebrafish and tobacco seedlings under laser confocal microscopy.

Abstract
Flavoprotein monooxygenases (FPMOs) play important roles in generating structural complexity and diversity in natural products biosynthesized by type II polyketide synthases (PKSs). In this study, we used genome mining to discover novel mutaxanthene analogues and investigated the biosynthesis of these aromatic polyketides and their unusual xanthene framework. We determined the complete biosynthetic pathway of mutaxathene through in vivo gene deletion and in vitro biochemical experiments. We show that a multifunctional FPMO, MtxO4, catalyzes ring rearrangement and generates the required xanthene ring through a multistep transformation. In addition, we successfully obtained all necessary enzymes for in vitro reconstitution and completed the total biosynthesis of mutaxanthene in a stepwise manner. Our results revealed the formation of a rare xanthene ring in type II polyketide biosynthesis, and demonstrate the potential of using total biosynthesis for the discovery of natural products synthesized by type II PKSs.

Abstract
The fluorescent moieties coumarin and xanthene (R6GCP) combined in a single molecule was designed and synthesized. The colorimetric and fluorescent variation of the probe towards the copper and mercury ions sensing is examined. With the added copper/mercury ions to the solution of R6GCP in DMF:H2O (2:8, v/v), the probe showed deep red color from yellow color. The probe showed turn-off and turn-on fluorescence for copper and mercury ion respectively. In the presence of other competing metal ions, the probe showed better sensitivity towards copper and mercury ions. The probe's detection limit found to be 5.29 × 10-6 M and 1.24 × 10-5 M for Cu2+ and Hg2+ ion respectively by the UV-visible spectral measurement. Fluorescence measurement, the detection limit for the Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions detection by this probe is 1.91 × 10-7 M, and 1.32 × 10-8 M respectively. 1:1 binding stoichiometry was confirmed between the probe and Cu2+/Hg2+ ions from jobs plot by UV-visible spectral technique. Moreover, R6GCP combined filter paper were prepared. These test paper containing probe could detect Cu2+/Hg2+ ions in real-time with a spontaneous color change.

Abstract
A series of fused heterocycle xanthene-appended quinoline 6a-n was successfully synthesized with regioselectivity and characterized using IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectral data. Molecular docking was performed to find the binding efficacy of all these newly synthesized compounds towards thirteen antimalarial drug targets. Molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to predict the stability of the ligand-bound complex in a solvent medium. Blind and site-directed docking with compounds 6a-n against 13 drug targets revealed most of the ligands to have a good binding affinity with the targets. Analysis on the basis of binding energy, binding modalities of the ligands, intermolecular interactions, and pharmacophore, we identified only one of the ligand-receptor complexes to provide better results. Molecular dynamic simulation of the selected receptor-ligand complex revealed that the synthesized compound had a better binding affinity with the receptor than the native ligand complex. Further analysis of the synthesized ligand in the laboratory may prove promising results in the search for potential antimalarial drugs.

Abstract
A novel colorimetric and fluorescent "switch-on" probe based on xanthene-triphenylamine was developed for detection of Hg2+, which threatens public health, food safety and the environment. The probe displayed superior colorimetric and fluorescent selectivity/sensitivity toward Hg2+ over a series of metal ions via Hg2+-triggered deprotection reaction. Hg2+ induced a ∼18-fold enhancement in emission intensity of probe TXS with yellow fluorescence (λem = 558 nm) and led to distinct color transition from light yellow to blue or yellow under daylight depending on solvent mixture. Detection parameters were optimized and examined for the influence that they exerted on the detection which involved the usage of the Box-Behnken design methodology. The sensing pathway was also examined theoretically by DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The probe was successfully utilized for the detection of Hg2+ in several food and water samples with good recoveries. Cell imaging studies demonstrated that the probe was suitable for Hg2+ detection in live cells.

Abstract
A xanthene-based probe, Xanth-NPr, is developed as a molecular system that exhibits sensitivity for the highly acidic environments with fluorescence turn-on behavior. Xanth-NPr is designed on the principle of photoinduced electron transfer (PET), which controls the fluorescence profile of the probe. The structure of Xanth-NPr contains the dipropylaniline group as a PET promoting unit. Xanth-NPr exhibited quenched fluorescence as long as it is present in neutral or moderately acidic conditions. However, in the highly acidic pH range, it displayed a strong red-colored fluorescence at 592 nm as the protonation of dipropylaniline moiety inhibits the PET process. A model probe Xanth-M without any PET promoting unit was also synthesized. The model probe along with theoretical calculations was employed to explain the role of the PET process in regulating the fluorescence behavior of Xanth-NPr. Xanth-NPr showed linear fluorescence response as a function of pH in the range of 1 to 4.1 with the pKa value of 2.72. Likewise, its fluorescence profile is not altered by the presence of biologically relevant cations.

Abstract
A new xanthene dye, namely ImX, has been facilely prepared by reaction of 4-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde with N, N-diethyl-3-aminophenol in concentrated propionic acid, and then treated by p-chloranil. ImX presents the maximum absorption and emission band centered at 562 nm and 583 nm in water, respectively. Fluorescent spectra investigations demonstrate that ImX shows viscosity-selective fluorescent response and emission enhancement when the solvent viscosity increases from 1.1 cp. (water) to 1248 cp. (98 % glycerol). In addition, this viscosity-selective fluorescence response covers a wide pH range from 2.5 to 10.0. More significantly, ImX demonstrates low cytotoxicity and can be employed as tracer for the detection of Monensin-triggered viscosity enhancement by cell imaging.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as an important signaling biomolecule participates in a series of complex physiological and pathological processes. In situ and rapid detection of H2S levels in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is of great importance for the in-depth study of its virtual functional roles. However, the ER-targeting fluorescent probe for the detection of H2S in live cells is still quite rare. Herein, a new ER-targeting fluorescent probe (FER-H2S) for detecting H2S in live cells was characterized in the present study. This probe FER-H2S was built from the hybridization of three parts, including fluorescein-based skeleton, p-toluenesulfonamide as ER-specific group, and 2,4-nitrobenzene sulfonate as a response site for H2S. The response mechanism of the probe FER-H2S to H2S is on the basis of the ring-opening and ring-closing processes in fluorescein moiety. Moreover, the probe FER-H2S was successfully used for the imaging of exogenous and endogenous H2S in ER of live cells.

Abstract
Xanthene derivatives have become a group of molecules of great importance in discovering of new anticancer drugs. Recent studies of our group performed on xanthen-3-one and xanthen-1,8-dione derivatives have shown their antiproliferative activity on HeLa cervical cell lines. Obtained IC50 values together with calculated molecular descriptors were subjected to Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) study in order to identify the most relevant molecular features responsible for the observed antiproliferative activity of compounds. Partial least square statistical method and the same training and test set were used to obtain statistical parameters for internal and external validation in 2D- and 3D-QSAR study. The obtained QSAR models have shown next results: 2D-QSAR: R2 = 0.741, Q2 = 0.792, R2pred = 0.875 and 3D-QSAR: R2 = 0.951, Q2 = 0.830, R2pred = 0.769. Based on the performed QSAR analysis and calculated ADMET properties, novel xanthene derivatives with enhanced antiproliferative activity were designed. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Over the last decades, several heterocyclic derivatives compounds have been synthesized or extracted from natural resources and have been tested for their pharmaceutical activities. Xanthene is one of these heterocyclic derivatives. These compounds consist of an oxygen-containing central heterocyclic structure with two more cyclic structures fused to the central cyclic compound. It has been shown that xanthane derivatives are bioactive compounds with diverse activities such as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory as well as therapeutic effects on diabetes and Alzheimer. The anti-cancer activity of such compounds has been one of the main research fields in pharmaceutical chemistry. Due to this diverse biological activity, xanthene core derivatives are still an attractive research field for both academia and industry. This review addresses the current finding on the biological activities of xanthene derivatives and discussed in detail some aspects of their structure-activity relationship (SAR).

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant low-molecular-weight cysteine-containing thiol in cells, which plays an essential role in many biological processes. Most reported fluorescent probes towards GSH possess short excitation and emission wavelength, which could result in low tissue penetration, high background fluorescence and photodamage to biological samples. Herein, a novel turn-on fluorescent probe (ADS) with the xanthene skeleton for GSH detection was developed based on a fluorophore, ACF-NH2. The probe had a red light emission (λem = 630 nm) and exhibited a good linear relationship for exogenous GSH (1-6 mM) and a good limit of detection (LOD: 13.1 μM, based on S/N = 3), which implied that it was possible to detect the change of GSH in the living cells (0.5-10 mM) by further structural modification. The probe displayed excellent selectivity for GSH over other analytes and good anti-interference ability. Moreover, cell viability assay indicated that ADS was biocompatible and exhibited very low cytotoxicity. A combination of mass spectrum analysis and density functional theory calculation was performed to explain the sensing mechanism of the probe. In addition, it was applied to image GSH in living cells successfully.

Abstract
Foliar fungal endophytes of Pinus strobus (eastern white pine) were collected from different sites across south-eastern New Brunswick, Canada and screened for the production of bioactive metabolites. From one site, two fungal isolates representing a formerly unknown genus and species within the family Massarinaceae (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) were resolved by phylogenetic analysis. These isolates produced crude organic extracts that were active against Microbotryum violaceum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. From these strains, DAOM 242779 and 242780, four dihydrobenzofurans (1-4) and two xanthenes (5-6) were characterized. Structures were elucidated by HRMS, interpretation of NMR spectra and other spectroscopic techniques. All isolated metabolites displayed antimicrobial activity against the biotrophic fungal pathogen M. violaceum and Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract
N-Sulfonic acid poly(4-vinylpyridinium) hydrogen sulfate catalyzed efficiently the synthesis of xanthene derivatives under ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature, which has prompted various concerns involving cost and environmental persistence. This methodology shows the effect of presence of anion hydrogen sulfate as an important and effective factor on the promotion of the one-pot multi-components and condensation reactions. The catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and used for several times without a significant loss of catalytic activity.
