A convenient and biogenetic type synthesis of few naturally occurring chromeno dihydrochalcones and their in vitro antileishmanial activity
摘要:
2',2'-Dimethyl chromeno dihydrochalcones are very rare in nature as plant secondary metabolites. Recently we have reported three such compounds from the plant Crotalaria ramosissima. Chromeno dihydrochalcones contain a 2',2'-dimethyl benzopyran system, which are frequently encountered in many natural products and exhibit a variety of biological activities. We here report the strategy to conveniently synthesize naturally occurring chromeno dihydrochalcones by biogenetic type pyridine or Amberlyst-15 catalyzed chromenylation of dihydrochalcones and in vitro antileishmanial activity of chromeno dihydrochalcones and their intermediates.

licorice, is the most promising antimalarial compound reported so far. In continuation of our drug discovery program, we isolated two similar chalcones, medicagenin (II) and munchiwarin (III), from Crotalaria medicagenia, which exhibited antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. A library of 88 chalcones were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antimalarial activity. Among these, 67,
The hemisynthesis of three new chalcones, namely kenzanol, kelianol A, and kelianol B, fromDorstenia barteri (Moraceae) is described here for the first time. The synthetic pathways employed in this work involved the pyrolysis and catalytic hydrogenation of readily available and starting materials, 4-hydroxylonchocarpin and isobavachalcone, two major constituents of the herbaceous plant D. barteri
此处首次描述了来自 Dorstenia barteri(桑科)的三种新查耳酮的半合成,即 kenzanol、kelianol A 和 kelianol B。这项工作中采用的合成途径涉及容易获得的起始材料 4-羟基磷酰胆碱和异巴伐查酮(草本植物 D. barteri 的两种主要成分)的热解和催化氢化。所有化合物的结构解析均通过质谱、红外、紫外、一维和二维核磁共振分析进行,并与以前的报告进行比较。
Isolation and synthesis of chalcones with different degrees of saturation
Crotaoprostrin, a chalcone not yet known as a plant constituent, was isolated from the aerial parts of the Indian medicinal plant Crotalaria prostrata. The structures of the chalcone polyarvin and the partially hydrogenated naturally occurring derivatives crotaramin, crotaramosmin, and crotin were confirmed by chemical synthesis.
