Zusammenfassung: | Chromones are the structural building blocks of several natural flavonoids. The synthesis of chromones, which contain a hydroxy group on the ring, presents some challenges. We used the one-pot method to synthesize ten chromone derivatives and two related compounds using modified Baker-Venkataraman reactions. The structures were confirmed using FT-IR,
H NMR,
C NMR, and HRMS. The in vitro antioxidant assay revealed that compounds
,
,
, and
had potent antioxidant activity and that all these synthesized compounds, except those containing nitro groups, were harmless to normal cells. In addition, compounds
,
,
,
,
,
, and
had anticancer activity. Compounds
and
were used to investigate the mechanism of anticancer activity. Both
and
induced a slightly early apoptotic effect but significantly impacted the S phase in the cell cycle. The effect on cell invasion indicates that both compounds significantly inhibited the growth of cervical cancer cells. A chromone scaffold possesses effective chemoprotective and antioxidant properties, making it a promising candidate for antioxidant and future cancer treatments. |
