In this study, ComplexIinhibitor R419 was firstly revealed to have significant anticancer activity against HepG2 cells (IC50 = 5.2 ± 0.9 μM). Based on this finding, a series of R419 derivatives were synthesized and biologicallyevaluated. As results, 9 derivatives were found to have obvious anticancer activity. Among them, H20 exhibited the most potent activity (IC50 = 2.8 ± 0.4 μM). Mechanism study
In order to find novel nonsteroidal compounds possessing an inhibitory activity against delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions, we conducted random screening using a picryl chloride (PC)-induced contact hypersensitivity reaction (CHR) in mice, and found compound 1 as a lead compound. Then we synthesized and evaluated an extensive series of 5-carboxamidouracil derivatives focused on both the

Chrysin and 7-hydroxy flavone were prepared by Baker-Venkatraman rearrangement followed by esterification at 7th position and replacement of ester with acetamide linking to different heterocyclic moieties synthesized 13a-g and 14a-g series of flavones analogues. These were screened against COX-2 and COX-1 enzymes for inhibition by in vitro assay and COX-2 for in silico docking studies. The compound 14a was found to be most active with IC50 of 3.11 A mu M concentration, with highest binding energy of -12.4 kcal/mole and 77.2 and 80.5 % inhibition at 3 and 5 h post-carrageenan induced in paw oedema.
Synthesis of carboxylated flavonoids as new leads for LTD4 antagonists
A series of 3'- and 5'-carboxylated chalcones, 6- or 8-carboxylated flavones and 6-carboxylated flavanones, -flavanols and -flavans were prepared. The compounds were tested for their inhibitory activities against leukotriene D-4 (LTD(4)) induced contraction of guinea-pig ileum. A new and convenient synthetic route to 3-acetyl-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (1d), a key intermediate for the synthesis of 3'-carboxy-2'-hydroxychalcones and 8-carboxylated flavones, was developed. The activities of the tested compounds ranged from 0 to 63% inhibition at 10(-5) M drug concentration against a single challenge of 10(-8) M LTD(4). Several compounds were tested in a radioligand binding assay against [H-3]LTD(4) on guinea-pig lung membrane. The quinoline-containing chalcone 12 and flavone 17 were found to exhibit significant but weak affinities for LTD(4) receptors with pK(D)-values of 4.95 and 4.83, respectively, and are interesting lead structures for the development of rigid LTD(4) antagonists. In contrast, the rest of the compounds tested in the binding assay did not show significant displacement of the radioligand, implying that for these compounds the functional activity is probably not caused by competitive antagonism at the LTD(4) receptor. The exact mechanism of the relaxant activity remains unclear.
