Antimalarial Activity of Newly Synthesized Chalcone Derivatives In Vitro

Abstract: Twenty‐seven novel chalcone derivatives were synthesized using Claisen‐Schmidt condensation and their antimalarial activity against asexual blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum was determined. Antiplasmodial IC50 (half‐maximal inhibitory concentration) activity of a compound against malaria parasites in vitro provides a good first screen for identifying the antimalarial potential of the compound. The most active compound was 1‐(4‐benzimidazol‐1‐yl‐phenyl)‐3‐(2, 4‐dimethoxy‐phenyl)‐propen‐1‐one with IC50 of 1.… Show more

“…13 Diphenyl propenones (chalcones), however, also exhibit antimalrial activity, 7,14−22 and malaria trophozoite cysteine protease has been proposed as possible target for this class of compound. 14,18 Phenyl urenyl chalcones also exhibit antimalrail activity via multiple mechanisms. 7 Inspired by the above facts we thought to design and synthesize compounds based on sugars having C-linked phenyl propenone moiety and diphenyl urea units together to get hitherto unreported antimalarial agents (Figure 1).…”

“…Treatment of alcohol 4 with triphenylphosphine and tribromoisocyanuric acid [19] in dichloromethane at room temperature for 4 h produced the desired bromide intermediate (5). Coupling of bromide 5 with apocynin (6) in presence of potassium carbonate in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran at reflux for 1 h gave the desired product 1-(4-((5-nitrofuran-2-yl)methoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (7). Claisen-Schmidt reaction of ethanone 7 with aromatic aldehydes 8A-K was carried out under solvent free conditions using solid NaOH as catalyst at room temperature [20,21] for 5-10 min to afford chalcones 9A-9K in 86-96 % yield.…”

“…They are significant as structural motifs among biologically active molecules and also for combinatorial assembly of heterocyclic scaffolds [2][3][4]. Chalcones containing several functional groups showed a wide spectrum of biological activities such as antileishmanial [5,6], antimalarial [5,7], anticancer [8,9], anti-HIV [10], antioxidant [11], inflammatory [12] antiprotozoal [13], antiulcer [14] and antimicrobial [15,16] activities.…”

“…Formation of these nuclei involves cyclization of α-β unsaturated system of chalcones. Chalcones and its analogues have numerous pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial [4,5], antiinflammatory analgesic, antiviral, antioxidant, anticancer, antimalarial, antiprotozoal, anticonvulsant [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] (Figure 1). …”
