The chalcone-like series 1a-1g was efficiently synthesized from Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction (52-74% yields). Compounds 1a-1g were designed by molecular hybridization based on the anti-inflammatory drug methyl salicylate (3) and the antileishmanial moiety of the Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts 2a-2g. The 1a-1g compounds were much more actives than precursor series 2a-2g, for example, IC(50)=7.65 μM on Leishmania amazonensis and 10.14 μM on Leishmania chagasi (compound 1c) when compared to IC(50)=50.08 μM on L. amazonensis and 82.29 μM on L. chagasi (compound 2c). The IC(50) values of compound 3 (228.49 μM on L. amazonensis and 261.45 μM on L. chagasi) and acryloyl salicylate 4 (108.50 μM on L. amazonensis and 118.83 μM on L. chagasi) were determined here, by the first time, on Leishmania.
查尔酮类化合物 1a-1g 是通过 Morita-Baylis-Hillman 反应(产率 52-74%)高效合成的。化合物 1a-1g 是基于抗炎药物水杨酸甲酯(3)和 Morita-Baylis-Hillman 加合物 2a-2g 的抗利什曼原虫部分,通过分子杂交设计的。与前体系列 2a-2g 相比,化合物 1a-1g 具有更高的活性,例如,对 Leishmania amazonensis 的 IC50=7.65 μM,对 Leishmania chagasi 的 IC50=10.14 μM(化合物 1c),而对 Leishmania amazonensis 的 IC50=50.08 μM,对 Leishmania chagasi 的 IC50=82.29 μM(化合物 2c)。化合物 3(对 Leishmania amazonensis 的 IC50=228.49 μM,对 Leishmania chagasi 的 IC50=261.45 μM)和丙烯酰基水杨酸酯 4(对 Leishmania amazonensis 的 IC50=108.50 μM,对 Leishmania chagasi 的 IC50=118.83 μM)的 IC50 值,也是首次在利什曼原虫中测定的。
