The present study aims to elucidate the anti-cancer, antimicrobial activity of synthesized halogenated chalcones (1f, 1h, 1i) and their molecular interaction with calf thymus DNA. All the three compounds were characterized using different spectroscopic tools like FTIR, NMR. DFT and TDDFT computation were performed to support the structural and electronic parameter of the compounds. UV–vis absorbance, steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, circular dichroism, helix melting, molecular docking study reveals that the compounds (1f, 1h, 1i) actively interact with ctDNA via groove binding mode. The binding constants (Kb) were calculated to be 1.29 × 104, 0.54 × 104 and 0.45 × 104 M?1 respectively for compounds 1f, 1h, 1i. The compounds were cytotoxic to almost every cell line (PC3, HeLa, A549, HCT116) tested, having minimal toxicity in normal NKE cell line, among which PC3 cells were more sensitive with an IC50 value of 10 μM. The values were determined using dose response curve and found between 10 and 49 μM for cancer cells and 70 μM for normal cell. Compounds also cause apoptosis in PC3 cells, which was confirmed by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. Results showed that 1f, 1h, 1i target DNA, to persuade DNA damage mediated cancer cell death. The inhibition zone was formed in the screening test indicating the anti-bacterial activity of 1f, 1h & 1i against model pathogenic bacteria. So the present communication provides quantitative insight of halo-chalcone based anti-cancerous and antimicrobial molecule involving relevant target nucleic acid, which holds future promise in the development of new therapeutic agents.

A series of seven chalcone-thiosemicarbazones (5a–5g) were synthesized and evaluated as potential new drugs (anti-leishmanial effect). Although four of the chalcone-thiosemicarbazones are already known, none of them or any compound in this class has been previously investigated for their effects on parasites of the Leishmania genus. The compounds were prepared in satisfactory yields (40–75%) and these compounds were evaluated against promastigotes, axenic amastigotes and intracellular amastigotes of L. amazonensis after 48 h of culture. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of the intracellular amastigotes were determined to be in the range of 3.40 to 5.95 μM for all compounds assayed. The selectivity index showed value of 15.05 for 5a, whereas pentamidine (reference drug) was more toxic in our model (SI = 2.32). Furthermore, to understand the preliminary relationship between the anti-leishmanial activity of the chalcone-thiosemicarbazones, their electronic (σ), steric (MR) and lipophilicity (π) properties were correlated, and the results indicated that moieties with electronic withdrawing effects increase the anti-leishmanial activity. The preliminary pharmacokinetic evaluation of one of the most active compound (5e) was studied via interaction to human serum albumin (HSA) using multiple spectroscopic techniques combined with molecular docking. The results of antiparasitic effects against L. amazonensis revealed the chalcone-thiosemicarbazone class to be novel prototypes for drug development against leishmaniasis.

One-pot synthesis of α-methyl ketones starting from 1,3-diaryl propenols or 1-aryl propenols and methanol as a C1 source is demonstrated. This one-pot isomerization-methylation is catalyzed by commercially available Pd(OAc)2 with H2O as the only by-product. Mechanistic studies and deuterium labelling experiments indicate the involvement of isomerization of allyl alcohol followed by methylation through a hydrogen-borrowing pathway in these isomerization-methylation reactions.

The selective reduction of ?,￠-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was achieved to produce saturated carbonyl compounds with aqueous HI solution. The introduction of an aryl group at an ? or ￠ position efficiently facilitated the reduction with good yield. The reaction was applicable to compounds bearing carboxylic acids and halogen atoms. Through the investigation of the reaction mechanism, it was found that Michael-type addition of iodide occurred to produce ￠-iodo compounds followed by the reduction of C-I bond via anionic and radical paths.
