Coumarins are ubiquitous in plant kingdom and have been used as antitumor, antifungals, anticoagulants, insecticides. Chalcones are also widespread in plant kingdom and have been known to possess diverse biological activities; antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor and anti-inflammatory, etc. As they are considered as important natural products, numerous synthetic approaches have been reported up to the present. We devise a new selective method of preparing dihydrocoumarins and chalcones from aryl cinnamates by the selection of reagents. Dihydrocoumarin derivatives were prepared selectively by using intramolecular cyclization catalyzed by p-toluene sulfonic acid. Also, chalcones were prepared by Fries-rearrangement catalyzed by $TiCl_4$. This method can be used for preparing various coumarin & chalcone compounds.
Thiol Reactivity Profiling), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and C-terminal Src kinase (CSK) were supposed to the targets of 8f, which was confirmed by binding mode analysis. Furthermore, compounds 8f, 8l, 8j, 8k, 8g, and 8h showed potentinhibitory effects against both CSK and EGFR than other derivatives in an ADP-Glo™ kinase assay. The representative compound, 8f, potently inhibited various
Inhibitory effects of chalcone glycosides isolated from Brassica rapa L. ‘hidabeni’ and their synthetic derivatives on LPS-induced NO production in microglia
Activation of microglia induces the production of various inflammatory mediators including nitric oxide (NO), leading to neurodegeneration in many central nervous system diseases. In this study, we examined the effects of chalcone glycosides isolated from Brassica rapa L. ‘hidabeni’ on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NO production using rat immortalized microglia HAPI cells. 4′-O-β-d-Glucopyranosyl-3′

Inflammation and oxidative stress are common in many chronic diseases. Targeting signaling pathways that contribute to these conditions may have therapeutic potential. The transcription factor Nrf2 is a major regulator of phase II detoxification and anti-oxidant genes as well as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective genes. Nrf2 is widespread in the CNS and is recognized as an important regulator of brain inflammation. The natural product curcumin exhibits numerous biological activities including ability, to induce the expression of Nrf2-dependent phase II and anti-oxidant enzymes. Curcumin has been examined in a number of clinical studies with limited success, mainly owing to limited bioavailability and rapid metabolism. Enone analogues of curcumin were examined with an Nrf2 reporter assay to identify Nrf2 activators. Analogues were separated into groups with a 7-carbon dienone spacer, as found in curcumin; a 5-carbon enone spacer with and without a ring; and a 3-carbon enone spacer. Activators of Nrf2 were found in all three groups, many of which were more active than curcumin. Dose response studies demonstrated that a range of substituents on the aromatic rings of these enones influenced not only the sensitivity to activation, reflected in EC50 values, but also the extent of activation, which suggests that multiple mechanisms are involved in the activation of Nrf2 by these analogues.
