Malaria is an infection caused by Plasmodium sp. and It can be serious, if not treated precociously. It affects significant fraction of humanity and has profound health impact worldwide. It is estimated that 3.3 billion people are exposed to the risk of transmission. One of the problems of the infection is the growing emergence of parasite resistance to antimalarial drugs. In this context, studies are needed to develop new alternative chemotherapy. Many substances, such as the chalcones, have had their antiplasmodial activity proven. However, the physicochemical properties of these molecules, which are important for biological actions, are not well established. In this work, molecular modeling was performed and the antiplasmodial activity was evaluated of two chalcones (HBR1, and LH2) and four derivatives of chalcones (GH3, IV4, LCH1, and LCH3). For that, we determined the drug concentration inhibitory of 50% of the growth of P. falciparum in vitro as well as the physicochemical properties of derivatives of chalcones as HOMO, LUMO, electrostatic potential, C log P, hydration energy, polarizability and molecular volume through virtual calculations. The results of the calculated values were correlated with the biological activity in order to identify chemical parameters that can influence the antiplasmodial action. The inhibitory concentrations in 50% of the growth of P. falciparum ranged from 0,2 to 1,7 M, and these values were smaller than described them in the literature. The study of the correlation between the biological activities and the physicochemical properties showed determinating parameters for the biological activity, as LUMO, electrostatic potential, C log P and hydration energy, which may help in the selection of molecules more active against P. falciparum. Thus, these molecular properties can be used in the rational planning of new chalcones and/or derivatives with antiplasmodial activity.

Efeito antineoplásico do composto 4,2´,3´,4´-tetrametoxi chalcona em linhagem de neuroblastoma B103 de rato

Neuroblastoma is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in childhood. The term is commonly used to refer to a wide variety of neuroblastic tumors, including neuroblastomas, ganglioneuromas and ganglioneuroblastomas. Estimates show that 8 million children under 15 years of age per year are affected by this cancer, where 80% of cases are affected in up to 4 years of age, the tumor is malignant cells derived from embryonic arising from primary neuronal cells, since nodes adrenal medulla and sympathetic to other points. In this study, we assessed the cytotoxic potential of the compound 4,2 ', 3', 4'- tetrametoxchalcone in vitro model B103 rat neuroblastoma. Drug stock solutions were prepared at 50mM in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and stored at - 20 ° C for the preparation of new concentrations (150μM, 100 mM, 75 mM and 50 mM). Cell viability was assayed from culture of glial cells from rat cortex. Cell migration assays and colony formation were also conducted. For statistical analysis, analysis of variance criterion (ANOVA) followed by Tukey test using the BioEstat 5.0 program was conducted. In the evaluation of cytotoxic effect of chalcones, it was observed that treatment with the compound 4,2’,3’,4’- tetrametoxchalcone showed no cytotoxic effect against normal cells of rat cortex for the concentrations tested, whereas in cell cultures neuroblastoma B103 was shown that the drug promotes cell death significantly.

Síntese, capacidade antioxidante e estudo comparativo entre fenilhidrazonas e chalconas como derivados do paracetamol

The prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PGES) and cytochrome P-450 are key enzymes in human, which are responsible for analgesic effect and toxicity of acetaminophen, respectively. Acetaminophen or paracetamol is a widely used over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic drug and appears to be safe if used in normal therapeutic doses, but large doses of ACP produce hepatic and/or renal injury in humans and in experimental animals. At moment, the design of new acetaminophen derivatives has few impacts for its clinical applications of safe acetaminophen derivative. Thus, in this work a series of acetaminophen derivatives based on chalcone and hydrazone analogy was been investigated using quantum chemical calculations at the DFT/B3LYP theory level, with the 6-31G* basis sets. The HOMO, IP, BDEOH, and spin density contribution for the oxidation of an initial electron or hydrogen atom abstraction from the phenolic hydroxyl group was related with the quenching reactivity of tyrosyl radical to give N-acetyl-p-benzosemiquinone imine (NAPSQI). The second hydrogen abstraction was related with the chemistry reaction between amide group and hydroxyl radical to give N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI). The lowest BDEOH values were related with higher quenching values of the tyrosyl radical and the stability was related with the spin density for the initial electron or hydrogen abstractions. The highest BDENH values were related with small NAPQI formation and LUMO values with reactivity of NAPQI-like Michael system. Our results showed that some analogous may be a good strategy for safer drug design of analgesic compounds. The compounds were synthesized and their antioxidant property was estimated using theoretical methods. Some compounds can be good antioxidant. A proposed mechanism for the interaction between hydrazone derivatives and PGES was realized using molecular properties.

Síntese, caracterização e avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana e antiproliferativa de chalconas e derivados- in vitro
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-12-21) ANJOS, Maricelia Lopes; BITENCOURT, Heriberto Rodrigues; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9418240134272692; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-0003-2876
In the present work we perform the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities of chalcones and derivatives - in vitro. The interest in obtaining chalcones is due to the numerous pharmacological activities described in the literature for these classes of compounds that are intermediates for flavonoids. Thus, the synthesis and characterization of various chalcones and derivatives become important for the development of compounds with antimicrobial and antiproliferative activity. Ten substances were synthesized, containing seven chalcones and three naphthoflavanones, obtained by the Claisen Schmidt aldolic condensation reaction between acetophenones and aldehydes, at room temperature or with heating. Yields varied between 65.35% and 97.45%. Being characterized and confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. The antimicrobial activity in vitro was analyzed in the strains: Staphylococcus aureus; Enterococcus faecalis; Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, following the microdilution protocol, however their inhibition result was not satisfactory. All substances were submitted to the cell viability test (MTT), to evaluate the antiproliferative activity in vitro, in gastric tumor line (AGP01), with comparison of dose response to the normal lung cell line (MRC-5). The substances AMB, 34M, MEB, PEB and EBA, showed significant cytotoxic activity. Which may represent new pharmacological possibilities, even because they have not been tested in this cell line.
