Rhodium-catalyzed reactions of 2-aryl-substituted 2H-chromenes with α-diazo esters prepared fromdimethyl and tert-butyl methyl malonates were investigated, and the results were compared with reactions carried out with phenyliodonium ylides prepared from the same esters. The phenyliodonium ylide prepared fromdimethylmalonate was found to give superior yields of cyclopropane products compared to the corresponding

Hydroxy chalcones undergo simple cyclizations with phenylhydrazine to afford 2-pyrazolines under microwave irradiation in the presence of glacial AcOH as cyclizing agent, also undergo simple cyclizations with hydroxylamine to afford 2-isoxazolines under microwave irradiation in the presence of KOH, and new cyclohexenone derivatives. Some valuable intermediates in the synthesis of fused heterocycles, have been prepared through K2CO3 which activate the cyclocondensation of hydroxychalcones with ethyl acetoacetate. The obtained results indicate that the microwave irradiation give shorter reaction times and cleaner reactions for synthesis of biologically important compounds.

anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, a great deal of work has been done on the medicinal and therapeutical application of these compounds. Despite the central role of flavan-3,4-diols in the synthesis of many other classes of flavonoids, only a few methods for the preparation of these compounds have been reported. In this paper, the results on the preparation of methoxy-substituted flavan-3,4-diols
Phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are widely expressed enzymes involved in membrane signalization pathways. Attempts to administer inhibitors with broad activity against different isoforms have failed due to toxicity. Conversely the PI3K delta isoform is much more selectively expressed, enabling therapeutic targeting of this isoform. Of particular interest PI3K delta is expressed in human basophils and its inhibition has been shown to reduce anti-IgE induced basophil degranulation, suggesting that PI3K delta inhibitors could be useful as anti-allergy drugs. Herein, we report for the first time the activity of compounds derived from chalcone scaffolds as inhibitors of normal human basophil degranulation and identified the most active compound with anti-PI3K delta properties that was investigated in preclinical models. Compound 18, namely 1-[2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxy-3-(N-methylpiperidin-4-yl)pheny1]-3(2,4,6-trimethoxypheny1)-prop-2-en-1-one, was found to inhibit normal human basophil degranulation in a dose-dependent manner. In a murine model of ovalbumin-induced asthma, compound 18 was shown to reduce expiratory pressure while its impact on the inflammatory infiltrate in alveolar lavage and total lung was dependent on the route of administration. In a DNFB-induced model of atopic dermatitis compound 18 administered systemically proved to be as potent as topical betamethasone. These results support the anti-atopic and allergic properties of the title compound and warrant further clinical development. (C) 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

ABCG2 plays a major role in anticancer-drug efflux and related tumor multidrug resistance. Potent and selective ABCG2 inhibitors with low cytotoxicity were investigated among a series of 44 chalcones and analogues (1,3-diarylpropenones), by evaluating their inhibitory effect on the transport of mitoxantrone, a known ABCG2 substrate. Six compounds producing complete inhibition with IC50 values below 0.5 mu M and high selectivity for ABCG2 were identified. The number and position of methoxy substituents appeared to be critical for both inhibition and cytotoxicity. The best compounds, with potent inhibition and low toxicity, contained an N-methyl-1-indolyl (compound 38) or a 6'-hydroxyl-2',4'-dimethoxy-1-phenyl (compound 27) moiety (A-ring) and two methoxy groups at positions 2 and 6 of the 3-phenyl moiety (B-ring). Methoxy substitution contributed to inhibition at positions 3 and 5, but had a negative effect at position 4. Finally, methoxy groups at positions 3, 4, and 5 of the B-ring markedly increased cytotoxicity and, therefore, should be avoided.
