Liquid crystalline epoxy thermosets

Rigid rod epoxy compounds can be cured in liquid crystalline structure. The so obtained networks exhibit better mechanical properties with respect to the isotropic ones. The mesogenic character of the epoxy compounds appears more crucial than the molecular geometry of the curing agent in developing liquid crystallinity. The curing temperature plays an important role in affecting the state of order of the thermosets.

4,4'-DIHYDROXYCHALCONE FROM THE HEARTWOOD OF CHAMAECYPARIS OBTUSA

A new chalcone, 4,4'-dihydroxychalcone was isolated from the heartwood of Chamaecyparis obtusa.The structure was elucidated by direct comparison with a synthetic sample.

A simple and highly efficient method for the synthesis of chalcones by using borontrifluoride-etherate

Chalcones are secondary metabolites of terrestrial plants, precursors for the biosynthesis of flavonoids and exhibit various biological activities. Condensation of substituted acetophenones (2a-12a) with various aromatic aldehydes (1b-7b) in the presence of BF3-Et2O at room temperature gave chalcones in 75-96% yield.

Discovery of isoliquiritigenin analogues that reverse acute hepatitis by inhibiting macrophage polarization

Screening a natural product library of 850 compounds yield isoliquiritigenin as an effective anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory NO induced by Pam3CSK4, while its activity accompanied by toxicity. Further studies obtained the optimized isoliquiritigenin derivative SMU-B14, which can inhibit Pam3CSK4 triggered toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling with low toxicity and high potency. Preliminary mechanism studies indicated that SMU-B14 worked through TLR2/MyD88, phosphorylation of IKKα/β, leading to the reduce degradation of NF-κB related IKBα and p65 complex, then inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β both in human and murine cell lines. Subsequent polarization experiments showed SMU-B14 significant reversed the polarization of M1 phenotype primary macrophage activated by Pam3CSK4 in vitro, and reduced the infiltration of neutrophil and polarization of M1-type macrophage, decreased serum alanine transaminase (ALT), as a result protected liver from being injured in vivo. In summary, we obtained an optimized lead compound SMU-B14 and found it functionally blocked TLR2/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to down-regulate the production of inflammatory cytokines resulted significant liver protection property.

Chalcones and Chalcone-mimetic Derivatives as Notch Inhibitors in a Model of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Based on hit-likeness and chemical diversity, a number of chalcones and chalcone-mimetic compounds were selected as putative Notch inhibitors. The evaluation of the antiproliferative effect combined with the inhibition of Notch1 expression in KOPTK1 cell line identified compound 18, featuring a tetrahydronaphthalene-based scaffold, as a new promising Notch-blocking agent.
