We herein describe the results of further evolution of glycogensynthase kinase (GSK)-3β inhibitors from our promising compounds containing a 2-phenylmorpholine moiety. Transformation of the morpholine moiety into a piperazine moiety resulted in potent GSK-3β inhibitors. SAR studies focused on the phenyl moiety revealed that a 4-fluoro-2-methoxy group afforded potent inhibitory activity toward GSK-3β

A library of flavonol analogues was synthesised and evaluated as potential anticancer agents against a human prostate cancer cell line, 22rv1. Compounds 3, 8 and 11 (IC50 2.6, 3.3 and 4.0 mu M respectively) showed potent cancer cell growth inhibition, comparable to the lead compound 3',4',5'-trimethoxyflavonol (1) (IC50 3.1 mu M) and superior to the naturally occurring flavonols quercetin (16) and fisetin (22) (both >15 mu M). Results indicate that the 3',4',5'- arrangement of either hydroxy (OH) or methoxy (OMe) residues is important for growth arrest of these cells and that the OMe analogues may be superior to their OH counterparts. Compounds 1, 3, 8 and 11 warrant further investigation as potential agents for the management of prostate cancer. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

A series of novel 3-hydroxy-2-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (flavonol) derivatives (2a-u) of biological interest have been prepared via CLAISEN-SCHMIDT condensation followed by ALGAR-FLYNN-OYAMADA reaction and to search for the potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents from this novel series. All the synthesized compounds have been screened for their in vitro proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitory activity along with antimicrobial activity. As many as three compounds viz. 2h, 2l, and 2q from this novel series were found to be potent TNF-alpha and IL-6 inhibitor (up to 72-81 % TNF-alpha and 86-92 % IL-6 inhibitory activity) but at 10 mu M concentration as compared with the standard dexamethasone (71 % TNF-alpha and 84 % IL-6 inhibitory activities at 1 mu M concentration). While the compounds 2d, 2m, 2n, and 2s were found to be potent antimicrobial agent showing even 2-2.5-fold more potency than that of standard ciprofloxacin and miconazole at the same MIC value of 10 mu g/mL.
