Abstract
: This survey provides information on the synthesis and biological applications of coumarinylchalcones. Chalcones are unsaturated ketones involving the reactive keto-ethylenic group (CO-CH=CH). Chalcones are naturally abundant in many medical plants, including vegetables, fruits, and foods. Natural and synthetic chalcone compounds exhibit a broad spectrum of biological properties like anticancer, antiinflammatory, anti-HIV, antioxidant, antimalarial, and antimicrobial. Some conventional, microwave, and grinding techniques have been utilized for the synthesis of chalcones. Noteworthy, the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction remains the most popular and effective method for synthesis. It summarizes information about its synthetic methods as building blocks in some reactions like cyclization reactions and medical applications. This review article presents an overview of approaches and biological data for chalcones bearing a coumarin scaffold.
期刊介绍:
Current Organic Chemistry aims to provide in-depth/mini reviews on the current progress in various fields related to organic chemistry including bioorganic chemistry, organo-metallic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry, natural product chemistry, catalytic and green chemistry, suitable aspects of medicinal chemistry and polymer chemistry, as well as analytical methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by chosen experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The Journal also accepts high quality research papers focusing on hot topics, highlights and letters besides thematic issues in these fields. Current Organic Chemistry should prove to be of great interest to organic chemists in academia and industry, who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic chemistry.
