Maurya A, Agrawal A. Recent Advancement in Bioactive Chalcone Hybrids as Potential Antimicrobial Agents in Medicinal Chemistry. Mini Rev Med Chem 2024; 24:176-195.

Abstract
Chalcones are flavonoid-related aromatic ketones and enones generated from plants. The chalcones have a wide range of biological activities, such as anti-tumor, calming, and antimicrobial activities. In the present review, we have focused on the recently published original research articles on chalcones as a unique antibacterial framework in medicinal chemistry. Chalcones are structurally diverse moieties and can be split into simple and hybrid chalcones, with both having core pharmacophore 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-one. Chalcones are isolated from natural sources and also synthesized by using various methods. Their structure-activity relationship, mechanisms, and list of patents are also summarized in this paper. This review article outlines the currently published antimicrobial chalcone hybrids and suggests that chalcone derivatives may be potential antimicrobial agents in the future.

Abstract
![]()
YopH
tyrosine phosphatase, a virulence factor produced by pathogenic species
of Yersinia, is an attractive drug target. In this
work, three oxidovanadium(IV) complexes were assayed against recombinant
YopH and showed strong inhibition of the enzyme in the nanomolar range.
Molecular modeling indicated that their binding is reinforced by H-bond,
cation−π, and π–π interactions conferring
specificity toward YopH. These complexes are thus interesting lead
molecules for phosphatase inhibitor drug discovery.

Abstract
Natural or synthetic chalcones with different substituents have revealed a variety of biological activities that may benefit human health. The underlying mechanisms of action, particularly with respect to the direct cellular targets and the modes of interaction with the targets, have not been rigorously characterized, which imposes challenges to structure-guided rational development of therapeutic agents or chemical probes with acceptable target-selectivity profile. This review summarizes literature evidence on chalcones’ direct molecular targets in the context of their biological activities.
