Disclosed are a serious of 2′,5′-dimethoxychalcone derivatives for treating cancer, wherein 2,5-dimethoxyacetophenone and methyl 4-formylbenzoate are condensed to form 4-carboxyl-2′,5′-dimethoxychalcone (compound 1), which is further reacted with alkyl halides or amines to synthesize the chalcone derivatives of compounds 2-17. In addition, 2,5-dimethoxyacetophenone is reacted with 5-formyl-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid to form compound 18 (3-(3-thiophene)carboxyl-1-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one). The synthesized 2′,5′-dimethoxychalcone derivatives can be acted as microtubule-targeted tubulin-polymerizing agents.

Identification of allosteric inhibitors of PTPs has attracted great interest as a new strategy to overcome the challenge of discover potent and selective molecules for therapeutic intervention. YopH is a virulence factor of the genus Yersinia , validated as an antimicrobial target. The finding of a second substrate binding site in YopH has revealed a putative allosteric site that could be further exploited. Novel chalcone compounds that inhibit PTPs activity were designed and synthesized. Compound 3j was the most potent inhibitor, interestingly, with different mechanisms of inhibition for the panel of enzymes evaluated. Further, our results showed that com- pound 3j is an irreversible non-competitive inhibitor of YopH that binds to a site different than the catalytic site, but close to the well-known second binding site of YopH.

9-homoisoflavonoid and flavone scaffolds also showed micromolar activity towards xanthine oxidase. At the same time, dihydrochalcone and Δ2,3-homoisoflavonoid carboxylic acids as well as their oxa-analogues were more than two orders of magnitude less effective inhibitors. Kinetic and molecular docking studies indicated that the carboxylated chalcones and Δ3,9-homoisoflavonoids are mixed-type inhibitors
