O-Heterocycles by the cyclization of side-chain bromomethoxylated 2′-acetoxychalcones

Summary The title chalcone derivatives react with aqueous sodium hydroxide of various concentrations to form aurones as the major product, together with small amounts of flavones. However, the introduction of 4-nitro or 4-chloro substituents resulted in the formation of flavones as the major product.

O-Heterocyclen mittels Cyclisierung von an der Seitenkette brommethoxylierten 2-Acetoxychalconen

Zusammenfassung Die im Titel genannten Chalconderivate reagieren mit Natronlauge in verschiedenen Konzentrationen, wobei Aurone zusammen mit geringen Mengen an Flavonen entstehen. Die Einführung von 4-Nitro- oder 4-Chlor-Substituenten führte jedoch zur bevorzugten Bildung von Flavonen.

     

A Convenient Synthesis of Chrysin and Tectochrysin

Chrysin(1) and tectochrysin(2) were respectively synthesized in four steps from 1,3,5-tribromobenzene in an overall yield of 46.8％ and that of 37.0％ with the key step being the Bu_4NBr catalyzed hydrolysis of 1-phenyl-3-(2′,4′,6′-trimethoxyphenyl)-1, 3-propanedione (11) under different conditions.     

New flavone and phenolic esters from Callistemon lanceolatus DC: Their molecular docking and antidiabetic activities

Phytochemical investigation of the antidiabetic chloroform fraction of the ethanolic extract obtained from the aerial parts of Callistemon lanceolatus DC led to the isolation of three new phytoconstituents, one flavone, 8-(1″-hydroxyisopranyl)-5,6-dihydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxy flavone (1) and two phenolic esters, 2,3,4-trihydroxyphenethyl tetracontanoate (2) and 2,3,4-trihydroxyphenethyl tetracontanoate-4-β-xylopyranoside (3). The isolated compound 1 exhibited significant in vivo blood glucose lowering effect comparable to the standard drugs Pioglitazone and Rosiglitazone in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats without causing any toxic effect on the pancreas and liver. Compound 1 showed a glide score of −7.89 against PPAR-γ target in molecular docking studies which is significantly higher than the glide score of reference molecule Rosiglitazone (glide score of −5.77). Compound 1 also exhibited moderate in vitro PPAR-γ transactivation activity of 48.52% in comparison with standard drugs rosiglitazone and pioglitazone, which showed a transactivation activity of 80.47% and 65.27%, respectively.

Synthesis, antibacterial and antifungal activity of some derivatives of 2-phenyl-chromen-4-one

Some derivatives of 2-phenyl-chromen-4-one (flavone ring) have been synthesized and tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities along with their chalcone precursors against four human pathogenic bacteria and five plant mould fungi. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by UV, IR and¹H NMR spectroscopic techniques, and elemental analysis. The antibacterial and antifungal screens of the synthesized compounds were performed in vitro by the filter paper disc diffusion method and the poisoned food technique.

Study of polyethylene glycol as a green solvent in the microwave-assisted extraction of flavone and coumarin compounds from medicinal plants

In this paper, the application of polyethylene glycol (PEG) aqueous solution as a green solvent in microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was firstly developed for the extraction of flavone and coumarin compounds from medicinal plants. The PEG solutions were optimized by a mono-factor test, and the other conditions of MAE including the size of sample, liquid/solid ratio, extraction temperature and extraction time were optimized by means of an orthogonal design L(9) (3(4)). Subsequently, PEG-MAE, organic solvent-MAE, and conventional heating reflux extraction (HRE) were evaluated with nevadensin extraction from Lysionotus pauciflorus, aesculin and aesculetin extraction from Cortex fraxini. Furthermore, the mechanism of PEG-MAE was investigated, including microwave-absorptive property and viscosity of PEG solutions, the kinetic mechanism of PEG-MAE and different microstructures of those samples before and after extraction. Under optimized conditions, the extraction yields of nevadensin from L. pauciflorus, aesculin and aesculetin from C. fraxini were 98.7%, 97.7% and 95.9% in a one-step extraction, respectively. The recoveries of nevadensin, aesculin and aesculetin were in the range of 92.0-103% with relative standard derivation lower than 3.6% by the proposed procedure. Compared with organic solvent-MAE and conventional extraction procedures, the proposed methods were effective and alternative for the extraction of flavone and coumarin compounds from medicinal plants. On the basis of the results, PEG solution as a green solvent in the MAE of active compounds from medicinal plants showed a great promising prospect.
