general, chalcones of series I are the most potent antifungal, antibacterial and antiproliferative agents. 2',4',5'-Trimethoxychalcone (11) demonstrated potent antifungal activity against Candida krusei (MIC = 3.9 µg/mL), eight times more potent than fluconazole (reference antifungal drug). 3'-Methoxychalcone (6) displayed anti-Pseudomonas activity (MIC = 7.8 µg/mL). 2',5'-Dimethoxychalcone (9) displayed

Here we report the synthesis, in vitro antifungal evaluation and SAR study of 41 chalcones and analogues. In addition, all active structures were tested for their capacity of inhibiting Saccharomyces cerevisiae beta (1,3)-glucan synthase and chitin synthase, enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of the major polymers of the fungal cell wall.

Synthesis and anti Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus activity of substituted chalcones alone and in combination with non-beta-lactam antibiotics
A total of 30 chalcone analogues was synthesized via a base catalyzed Claisen Schmidt condensation and screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) alone or in combination with non beta-lactam antibiotics namely ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, vancomycin, doxycycline and gentamicin. In the checkerboard technique, fractional inhibitory concentration indices (FICI) show that the following combinations like ciprofloxacin with 25 (4'-bromo-2-hydroxychalcone); doxycycline with 21 (4-hydroxychalcone); doxycycline with 25; and doxycycline with 4 (2',2-dihydroxychalcone) were synergistic against MRSA. In term SAR study, the relationship between chalcone structure and their antibacterial activity against S. aureus and synergy with tested antibiotics were discussed. Possible mechanisms for antibacterial activity of chalcones alone as well as the synergistic effect in combinations were proposed by molecular modeling studies, respectively. Combinations of chalcones with conventional antibiotics could be an effective alternative in the treatment of infection caused by MRSA. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of 2'-substituted chalcone derivatives has been found to show potent inhibition of the production of IL-1beta from human peripheral blood monocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), with IC50 values in the 0.2-5.0-muM range. Some members of the series have also shown inhibition of septic shock induced in mice by injection of LPS, although with low potency. Qualitative structure-activity relationships have shown that the enone is required for activity, which may be mediated by conjugate addition of a biological nucleophile to the chalcone. Electron-poor aromatic rings beta to the ketone give enhanced potency. Although electronic effects in the other ring (directly attached to the ketone) are minimal, this ring must possess an ortho substituent for good activity without cytotoxicity, suggesting a degree of selectivity which would not be expected for simple, nonspecific alkylating agents.
