Synthesis and Biological Activities of Chalcones Derived from Nitroacetophenone

Article Preview

Abstract:

A series of nitrochalcones (compounds 1-10) were synthesized by reacting appropriate nitroacetophenones and suitable benzaldehydes. The synthesized products were evaluated for their cytotoxic, antibacterial (Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescence and Staphylococcus aureus) and antifungal (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum) activities in vitro. Among the compounds tested, (E)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)- prop-2-en-1-one (10) showed the favorable in vitro cytotoxic activity against human nasopharyngeal epidermoid tumor cell line KB, and (E)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (8) showed the strongest antimicrobial activity with MIC of 20 μg/mL against P. fluorescence.
