Chalcones are known to exhibit antimitotic properties caused by inhibition of tubulin polymerisation. We describe here the effects of different α-substitutions, in particular α-fluorination, on the structure and biological activity of a series of chalcones.

Stoichiometric ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) and a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (5 mol %) can rapidly produce multisubstituted 2-ketofuran-4-carboxylate esters from 2-propargylic 1,3-ketoesters via oxidative O-cyclization reaction. Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 was found to be the crucial catalyst as its inclusion greatly enhanced the rate of the reaction and cleanly afforded the products within minutes. Over 30 substrates were successfully converted to the desired compounds in mostly moderate to good yields.

Novel 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-substituted phenylquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives 12a-n were designed and prepared through an intramolecular cyclization reaction and evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity. Among the synthesized compounds, 6,7-methylenedioxy-4-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)quinolin-2(1H)-one (12e) displayed potent cytotoxicity against several different tumor cell lines at a sub-micromolar level. Furthermore, results of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis suggested that 12e induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase accompanied by apoptosis in HL-60 and H460 cells. This action was confirmed by Hoechst staining and caspase-3 activation. Due to their easy synthesis and remarkable biological activities, 4-phenylquinolin-2(1H)-one analogs (4-PQs) are promising new anticancer leads based on the quinoline scaffold. Accordingly, compound 12e was identified as a new lead compound that merits further optimization and development as an anticancer candidate.
