Chalcone is an aromatic ketone and an enone that forms the central core for a variety of important biological compounds, which are known collectively as chalcones or chalconoids. Alternative names for chalcone include benzylideneacetophenone, phenyl styryl ketone, benzalacetophenone, β-phenylacrylophenone, γ-oxo-α,γ-diphenyl-α-propylene, and α-phenyl-β-benzoylethylene.
Chemical properties
Chalcones have two absorption maximums at 280 nm and 340 nm.[3]
Chemical reactions
Synthesis
Chalcones can be prepared by an aldol condensation between benzaldehyde and acetophenone in the presence of sodium hydroxide as a catalyst.[4][5]
This reaction can be carried out without any solvent as a solid-state reaction.[6] The reaction between substituted benzaldehydes and acetophenones can be used as an example of green chemistry in undergraduate education.[7] In a study investigating green syntheses, chalcones were synthesized from the same starting materials in high-temperature water (200 to 350 °C).[8]
Substituted chalcones were also synthesised by piperidine-mediated condensation to avoid side reactions such as multiple condensations, polymerizations, and rearrangements.[9]
Other reactions
An example is the conjugate reduction of the enone by tributyltin hydride:[10]
3,5-Disubstituted 1H-pyrazoles can be produced from a suitably substituted chalcone by reaction with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of elemental sulfur[11] or sodium persulfate,[12] or by using a hydrazone in which case an azine is produced as a by-product. The specific case for formation of 3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole from chalcone itself can be represented as:[13]
Potential pharmacology
Chalcones and their derivatives demonstrate a wide range of biological activities including anti-inflammation.[14] Some 2′-amino chalcones have been studied as potential antitumor agents.[15][16] The therapeutic (anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-ameobic, anti-malarial, anti-tubercular, nematicidal, anti-oxidant, inhibitors against various therapeutic targets, etc.), catalytic, chemosensing, and photosensitizing potentials of various Metal (Iron, Ruthenium, Platinum, Copper, Zinc, Cobalt, Manganese, Nickel, Osmium, Chromium, Tellurium, Boron, Tungsten, and Silicon)-Chalcone complexes have also been reported. [17][18]
Biological Target Inhibition Perspectives
Several natural and (semi) synthetic chalcones have shown anti-cancer activity due to their inhibitory potential against various targets namely ATP-binding cassette super-family G member 2 (ABCG2), P-glycoprotein (P-gp), Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP), 5α-reductase, aromatase, 17-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, histone deacetylase (HDAC)/Sirtuin-1, proteasome, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) kinase, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2/9, Janus kinases (JAK)/Signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins (STAT) signaling pathways, Cell Division Cycle-25 (CDC25B), tubulin, cathepsin-K, topoisomerase-II, Wingless-related integration site (Wnt), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κβ), v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (B-Raf), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), etc. [19] Chalcone molecules deserve the credit of being potential anti-diabetic candidates that act by modulating the therapeutic targets Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-Γ), Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), α-glucosidase, Protein-tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), aldose reductase, and tissue sensitivity. [20] Chalcones have been identified as the potential anti-infective candidates that inhibit various parasitic, malarial, bacterial, viral, and fungal targets like cruzain-1/2, trypanopain-Tb, trans-sialidase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), fumarate reductase, falcipain-1/2, β-hematin, topoisomerase-II, plasmepsin-II, lactate dehydrogenase, protein kinases (Pfmrk and PfPK5), sorbitol-induced hemolysis, recombinant dengue virus Type 1 (DEN-1 NS3), influenza A virus (H1N1), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-Integrase/Protease), protein tyrosine phosphatase A/B (Ptp-A/B), filamentous temperature-sensitive mutant Z (FtsZ), fatty acid syntheses (FAS-II), lactate/isocitrate dehydrogenase, NorA efflux pump, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) gyrase, fatty acid synthase, chitin synthase, β-(1,3)-glucan synthase, etc. [21] Chalcones are the promising candidates in inhibiting various cardiovascular, hematological and anti-obesity targets like angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT), pancreatic lipase (PL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), calcium (Ca2+)/potassium (K+) channel, thromboxane (TXA2 and TXB2), etc. [22] Chalcone derivatives have demonstrated admirable anti-inflammatory activity due to their inhibitory potential against various therapeutic targets like cyclooxygenase (COX), lipooxygenase (LOX), interleukins (IL), prostaglandins (PGs), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), leukotriene D4 (LTD4), nuclear factor-κB (NFκB), intracellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), TLR4/MD-2, etc. [23] Indole chalcones may bind and inhibit the KasA protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[24] Preliminary docking studies indicate that chalcones may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 proteins specifically the main protease (Mpro), RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) and spike (S) proteins.[25]
