Fluorophores with aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics applied in bioimaging have attracted more and more attention in recent years. In this work, a series of flavanone compounds with AIEE characteristics was developed and applied to fluorescence imaging of mitochondria and zebrafish. The compounds were readily prepared by the thermal dehydration of chalcone that was obtained by the reaction of o-hydroxyacetophenone and benzaldehyde. Two of these compounds showed significant AIEE characteristics by fluorescence performance experiments, including optical spectra, fluorescence spectra, fluorescence quantum yield (?F), fluorescence lifetime, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with traditional organic fluorescent dyes, these compounds have high fluorescence emission and high fluorescence quantum yield in solid or aggregated state, which overcomes the shortcoming of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). More importantly, the two compounds exhibited low cytotoxicity and good cytocompatibility in A549 lung cells at the experimental concentration range and they specifically targeted mitochondria, which make it of great potential use in mitochondria labeling. In addition, they were embryonic membrane permeable and had different affinities for different tissues and organs of zebrafish, but mainly distributed in the digestive system, providing a basis for the application of such compounds in bioimaging. These AIEE compounds with superior properties could be of great potential use in mitochondria imaging and other in vivo studies.

SIRT6 is a histone deacetylase that has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for metabolic disorders and the prevention of age-associated diseases. We have previously reported on the identification of quercetin and vitexin as SIRT6 inhibitors,

Three series of flavones namely 6-hydroxy flavone, 6-chloro-3-hydroxy flavone, 3,6-dihydroxy flavone were synthesized. They were further benzoylated with different aromatic acid chlorides in the presence of pyridine gave three of acyl esters series (SCF 1 to 8, SHF 1 to 8 and SDF 1 to 8). The yields of all the substituted flavones were found satisfactory. These compounds were purified, characterized by their spectral data. log P and pKa value. They were screened for in vitro radical (DPP?) scavenging activity, showed appreciable activity. 7 compounds showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Further, the MIC values of these 7 compounds were also determined. All the compounds showing antioxidant activity also showed antibacterial activity. The relationship between log P, antioxidant and antibacterial activity was established.
