[PMID: 37952763 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2023.105739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
In this study, 30 chalcone derivatives containing [1,2,4]-triazole-[4,3-a]-pyridine were designed and synthesized. The results of antibacterial activity showed that EC50 values of N26 against Xoo, Pcb was 36.41, 38.53 μg/mL, respectively, which were better than those of thiodiazole copper, whose EC50 values were 60.62, 106.75 μg/mL, respectively. The bacterial inhibitory activity of N26 against Xoo was verified by SEM. Antibacterial mechanism between N26 and Xoo was preliminarily explored, the experimental results showed that when the drug concentration was 100 mg/L, N26 had a good cell membrane permeability of Xoo, and it can inhibit the production of EPS content and extracellular enzyme content to disrupt the integrity of the Xoo biofilms achieving the effect of inhibiting Xoo. At 200 mg/L, N26 can protect and inhibit the lesions of post-harvested potatoes in vivo. The activities of N1-N30 against TMV were determined with half leaf dry spot method. The EC50 values of the curative and protective activity of N22 was 77.64 and 81.55 μg/mL, respectively, which were superior to those of NNM (294.27, 175.88 μg/mL, respectively). MST experiments demonstrated that N22 (Kd = 0.0076 ± 0.0007 μmol/L) had a stronger binding ability with TMV-CP, which was much higher than that of NNM (Kd = 0.7372 ± 0.2138 μmol/L). Molecular docking results showed that N22 had a significantly higher affinity with TMV-CP than NNM.

Abstract
The development and discovery of steroidal drugs to cure cervical cancer is of the most important. The Claisen condensation of androstene and estrone with aromatic aldehydes was catalyzed by potassium tert. butoxide in tert. butanol to give the corresponding 2-arylidene and 16-arylidene estrone. Subsequently, the 16-arylidene estrone reacted with acid chloride in presence of quaternary amine in halogenated solvent resulting in the steroidal arylidene derivatives. Synthesis, Characterization and in vitro cytotoxic activity of arylidenes are rationalized. Fifteen compounds are synthesized and six of them were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against cervical cancer cell line. HT-3 cell line examination revealed a considerable growth inhibition. Compounds 4a, 4b, 6b, 8c, and 8d, which are estrone-based arylidenes, are the most potent of the series, with IC50 value of 7.15, 10.76, 6.37, 3.56, and 1.55 µM/ml against HT-3 cell line. In addition, molecular docking studies were performed for the steroidal arylidenes to elucidate the binding interactions. Compound 4a, 4b, 6b, 8c and 8d showed excellent binding energy. Docking studies agreed well with in vitro studies. The end result offers an alternative approach to develop steroidal arylidenes that are more effective and are based on estrone, leading to the development of novel anticancer agents.

Abstract
Chalcones are a class of privileged scaffolds with high medicinal significance due to the presence of an α,β-unsaturated ketone functionality. Numerous functional modifications of chalcones have been reported, along with their pharmacological behavior. The present review aims to summarize the structures from natural sources, synthesis methods, biological characteristics against infectious and non-infectious diseases, and uses of chalcones over the past decade, and their structure–activity relationship studies are detailed in depth. This critical review provides guidelines for the future design and synthesis of various chalcones. In addition, this could be highly supportive for medicinal chemists to develop more promising candidates for various infectious and non-infectious diseases.

[PMID: 33836205 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2021.108830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2021] [Revised: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
To identify new potential anti-inflammatory agents, we herein report the synthesis of novel steroidal chalcones with 3β-pregnenolone esters of cinnamic acid derivatives using pregnenolone as the starting material. The structures of the newly synthesised compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS and infrared imaging. All the derivatives were examined to determine their in vitro anti-inflammatory profiles against LPS-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells; the derivates were evaluated by the quantification of the pro-inflammatory mediator nitric oxide (NO) in the cell culture supernatant based on the Griess reaction, which measures nitrite levels, followed by an in vitro cytotoxicity study. Among these novel derivatives, compound 11e [3β-3-phenyl acrylate-pregn-5-en-17β-yl-3' -(p-fluoro)-phenylprop-2'-en-1'-one] was identified as the most potent anti-inflammatory agent, which showed significant anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the LPS-induced pro-inflammatory mediator NO in a dose-dependent manner without any cytotoxicity. Moreover, compound 11e markedly inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Further studies confirmed that compound 11e significantly suppressed the transcriptional activity of NF-κB in activated RAW 264.7 cells. Molecular docking study revealed the strong binding affinity of compound 11e to the active site of the pro-inflammatory proteins, which confirmed that compound 11e acted as an anti-inflammatory mediator. These results indicated that steroidal chalcones with 3β-pregnenolone esters of cinnamic acid derivatives might be considered for further research in the design of anti-inflammatory drugs, and compound 11e might be a promising therapeutic anti-inflammatory drug candidate.

Abstract
The acid-catalyzed cyclization of benzylidenes based on 16-dehydropregnenolone acetate (16-DPA) was studied. It was found that these compounds readily undergo regioselective interrupted Nazarov cyclization with trapping chloride ion and an efficient method of the synthesis of d-annulated pentacyclic steroids based on this reaction was proposed. The structures of the synthesized pentacyclic steroids were determined by NMR and X-ray diffraction. It was found that the reaction affords a single diastereomer, but the latter can crystallize as two conformers depending on the structure. Antiproliferative activity of synthesized compounds was evaluated against two breast cancer cell lines: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. All tested compounds showed relatively high antiproliferative activity. The synthetic potential of the protocol developed was illustrated by the gram-scale experiment.

Abstract
Angiogenesis plays an essential role in tumourigenesis and tumour progression, and anti-angiogenesis therapies have shown promising antitumour effects in solid tumours. 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2), an endogenous metabolite of estradiol, has been regarded as a potential antitumour agent mainly targeting angiogenesis. Here we synthesized a novel series of chalcones based on 2-methoxyestradiol and evaluated their potential activities against tumours. Compound 11e was demonstrated to have potent antiangiogenic activity. Further studies showed that 11e suppressed tumour growth in human breast cancer (MCF-7) xenograft models without obvious side effects. Evaluation of the mechanism revealed that 11e targeted the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in MCF-7 cells and inhibited HUVEC migration and then contributed to hindrance of angiogenesis. Thus, 11e may be a promising antitumour agent with excellent efficacy and low toxicity.

Abstract
Liver cancer is a kind of high mortality cancer due to the difficulty of early diagnosis. It is necessary to develop the anticancer agents to treat liver cancer. Here, a novel chalcone derivative was synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activity in vitro against liver cancer cell lines (HepG2, SNU-423, SMMC7221, and SNU-398). The chalcone hybrid 9 displayed the antiproliferative effect against HepG2, SNU-423, SMMC7221 and SNU-398 cells with IC50 values of 0.9 μM, 2.7 μM, 6.2 μM and 4.6 μM, respectively. Cellular mechanisms showed that derivative 9 could obviously inhibit HepG2 cells growth and colony formation in a concentration-dependent manner. Analogue 9 inhibited the migration by regulating the expression levels of migration-releated markers and transcription factors (Snail and Slug). Tubulin polymerization inhibition assay illustrated that chalcone hybrid 9 might be a potent tubulin polymerization inhibitor. Importantly, compound 9 displayed the antitumor activity against liver cancer HepG2 cells in vivo with the low toxicity toward mice. Therefore, compound 9 as a novel tubulin polymerization inhibitor deserves further investigation to treat liver cancer. Graphical abstract Compound 9 displayed the antitumor activity against liver cancer HepG2 cells in vivo and low toxicity toward mice Figure: Orally antitumor chalcone hybrid 9 inhibited HepG2 cells growth and migration as the tubulin binding agent.

Abstract
Novel benzylidenes (chalcones) of the 16-dehydroprogesterone series have been characterized and their antitumor activity against two breast cancer cell lines was evaluated. Benzylidenes exhibit significant antiproliferative effect on cells and inhibit cell growth in hormone-dependent MCF-7 and hormone-independent MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Compound 3d exhibits the highest activity against two breast cancer cell lines, with the IC50 value of about 2 µM. Compounds 3e,m,n display considerable selectivity for hormone-dependent breast cancer cells, with the IC50 value lower than 6 µM. Moreover, these steroidal benzylidenes regulate ERα signaling and reveal p53-independent mechanism of pro-apoptotic action in MCF-7 cells. The new class of antitumor compounds holds promise as the basis for the design of agents for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The new steroidal pyrimidine derivatives (4-6) were synthesized by the reaction of steroidal thiosemicarbazones with (2-methyl) diethyl malonate in absolute ethanol. After characterization by spectral and analytical data, the DNA interaction studies of compounds (4-6) were carried out by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, hydrodynamic measurements, molecular docking and gel electrophoresis. The compounds bind to DNA preferentially through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with Kb; 2.31×103M-1, 1.93×103M-1 and 2.05×103M-1, respectively indicating the higher binding affinity of compound 4 towards DNA. Gel electrophoresis demonstrated that compound 4 showed a strong interaction during the concentration dependent cleavage activity with pBR322 DNA. The molecular docking study suggested the intercalation of steroidal pyrimidine moiety in the minor groove of DNA. During in vitro cytotoxicity, compounds (4-6) revealed potential toxicity against the different human cancer cells (MTT assay). During DAPI staining, the nuclear fragmentations on cells occurred after treatment with compounds 4 and 5. Western blotting analysis clearly indicates that compound 4 causes apoptosis in MCF-7 cancer cells. The results revealed that compound 4 has better prospectus to act as a cancer chemotherapeutic candidate, which warrants further in vivo anticancer investigations.

Abstract
Abstract
The development of new HIV non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors offers the possibility of generating structures of increased potency. To this end, coupling of mefenamic acid (4) with 4-amino-acetophenone (6) in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) reagents afforded 4-(acetyphenyl)-2-((2,3-dimethylphenyl)amino)benzamide (7). Analogously, treatment of mefenamyl chloride (5) prepared from 4 with 6 under microwave irradiation (MWI) afforded 7. A new series of substituted chalconyl-incorporated amide derivatives of mefenamic acid 8–13 were synthesized from condensation of 7 with various substituted benzaldehydes via the Claisen–Schmidt reaction. Treatment of 8 and 11 with thiourea in a basic medium afforded the thiopyrimidine analogues 14 and 15, respectively. The newly synthesized compounds were assayed against HIV-1 and HIV-2 in MT-4 cells. Compounds 9 and 11 showed cytotoxicity values of 2.17 and 2.06 μm, respectively, against mock-infected MT-4 cells (C type adult T leukemia cells), which considered to be promising antileukemic agents.

Abstract
Series of estrone based analogs were synthetically investigated at positions C-9, C-11, C-16, and C-17 positions, to be biologically evaluated via assessment of cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, and estrogenic/anti-estrogenic activity. LA-7 and LA-10 revealed their potential to exhibit inhibitory estrogenic profile. This was further validated by Estrogen Receptor-α (ER-α) and Estrogen Receptor-β (ER-β) competitive binding assays to reveal the high selective affinity of LA-7 towards ER-α at 5.49μM, while LA-10 did not show any binding affinity towards neither ER-α nor ER-β; suggesting another mechanism for inhibition. This was validated by in silico molecular docking simulations of LA-7 to reveal the optimum binding affinity of LA-7 towards ER-α.

Abstract
A series of new 4-(3-(4-substitutedphenyl)-3a,4-dihydro-3H-indeno[1,2-c]pyrazol-2-yl) benzenesulfonamides (7-12) was synthesized starting from 2-(4-substitutedbenzylidene)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (1-6) and 4-hydrazinobenzenesulfonamide. The substituted benzaldehydes from which the key intermediate was prepared by introducing 2- or 4-substituents such as fluorine, hydroxy, methoxy, or the 3,4,5-trimethoxy moieties. The compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity, tumor-specificity and potential as carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors. The 3,4,5-trimethoxy and the 4-hydroxy derivatives showed interesting cytotoxic activities, which may be crucial for further anti-tumor activity studies, whereas some of these sulfonamides strongly inhibited both human (h) cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II.

Abstract
A one-pot strategy for the catalytic synthesis of series of new 5α-cholestan-6-spiro-5'-phenylamino-2H-imidazo [1',2'-a] pyridines (4-14) has been investigated. The synthesized products were obtained in good yields (85-90%) and the protocol uses Multi-component Reaction (MCR) involving steroidal ketones, 2-aminopyridines, isocyanides and propylphosphonic anhydride (®T3P) as a catalyst. After characterization by spectral and analytical data, the interaction studies of compounds (4-6) with DNA were studied by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis and molecular docking. The compounds bind to DNA preferentially through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with Kb; 2.35×10(4), 3.71×10(4) and 3.24×10(4) M(-1), respectively, indicating the higher binding affinity of compound 5 towards DNA. Gel electrophoresis showed the concentration dependent cleavage activity of compounds 4-6 with DNA. Molecular docking studies suggested that compounds bind through minor groove to DNA. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay depicted promising anti-proliferative activity of compound 4-9 against different given cancer cells. In Western blotting, the expressions of relevant apoptotic markers depicted an apoptosis by steroidal imidazopyridines in A549 cells. Annexin V-FITC/PI staining data indicated that compounds could effectively induce apoptosis in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. FACS analysis shows that the compound 6 bring about cell cycle arrest at 2.62 μM concentration.

Abstract
A new series of steroidal dihydrocarbothioic acid amido pyrazole analogues were synthesized, and after characterization, evaluation for cytotoxicity, comet assay and western blotting was carried out. The synthesis of these analogues is convenient and involves two steps, i.e. aldol condensation as first step followed by nucleophilic addition of thiosemicarbazide across α, β-unsaturated carbonyl as a later step. Quantitative yields of more than 80 % are obtained in both the steps. After characterization by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, MS and analytical data, all the compounds of both series were tested for cytotoxic activity against a panel of different human cancer cell lines by MTT assay, during which compound 3e, 3f, 4e, 4f and 4h are very potent especially against HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. Cell cycle analysis depicted the cell death in S-phase while as annexin V-FITC/PI analysis showed that compounds effectively induce apoptosis. Apoptotic degradation of DNA of MCF-7 cells in the presence of different steroidal derivatives was analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized by ethidium bromide staining (comet assay). In western blotting analysis, the relative expressions of relevant apoptotic markers depicted an apoptosis by steroidal dihydropyrazole in MCF-7 cancer cells.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2015; 137:423-431. [PMID: 25238180 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2014.08.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2014] [Revised: 08/21/2014] [Accepted: 08/23/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
The chalcone 3-[4'-dimethylaminophenyl]-1-(2-pyridyl) prop-2-en-1-one (DMAPP) and 3-(4'-diethylaminophenyl)-1-(2-pyridinyl) prop-2-en-1-one abbreviated as DEAPP have been synthesized and characterized with IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR spectroscopic techniques as described previously (El-Daly et al., 2008; Gaber et al., 2009; El-Sayed, 2013). By using UV visible spectroscopy method the mole fraction ratio for copper with DMAPP and DEAPP complexes were determined and it was found to be 1:1. The stability constants of this complex have been determined by Job's method. The stability constant (Kf) of copper with DMAPP and DEAPP complexes in universal buffer pH=3.2 was determined to be 9.9×10(4) and 5.2×10(4) respectively. The effect of Cu(II) ion on the emission spectrum of the free chalcone is also assigned. Adherence to Beer's law and Ringbom optimum concentration ranges are determined. The thermal decomposition of the metal complexes is studied by TGA technique. The kinetic parameters like activation energy, pre-exponential factor and entropy of activation are estimated. The structure of complexes was energetically optimized through molecular mechanics applying MM(+) force field coupled with molecular dynamics simulation. The bond lengths and bond angles have been calculated to confirm the geometry of the ligands and their Cu(II) complexes. The mode of interaction of the chalcone to copper nanoparticles was studied. The apparent association constants of the colloidal copper nanoparticles:chalcone complexes in solution were evaluated using the spectral method and compared with the formation constant of the Cu(II) chalcone complexes. Antioxidant activity of these chalcones was evaluated by using 1,1'-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals scavenging method, which showed that the antioxidant activity of DMAPP has higher value than the DEAPP. Semi-empirical study results showed that DMAPP have higher dipole moment than DEAPP.

Abstract
2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2) is an investigational anticancer drug. In the present study, 2-alkoxyesters/acid and 2-benzyloxy analogues of estradiol have been synthesized as analogues of 2ME2. Three of the derivatives exhibited significant anticancer activity against human breast cancer cell lines. The best analogue of the series i.e. 24 showed stabilization of tubulin polymerisation process. It was substantiated by confocal microscopy and molecular docking studies where 24 occupied 'paclitaxel binding pocket' to stabilize the polymerisation process. Compound 24 significantly inhibited MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50: 7 μM) and induced arrest of cell cycle and apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. In acute oral toxicity, 24 was found to be non-toxic and well tolerated in Swiss albino mice up to 1000 mg/kg dose.

Abstract
A series of chalcone derivatives, 1-15, were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation and evaluated for their cytotoxicities on tumor cell lines and also against proteolytic enzymes such as cathepsins B and K. Of the compounds synthesized, (E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (12), (E)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (13), (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (14), and (E)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (15) showed significant cytotoxicities. The most effective compound was 15, which showed high cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value lower than 1 μg/ml, and no selectivity on the tumor cells evaluated. Substituents at C(4) of ring B were found to be essential for cytotoxicity. In addition, it was also demonstrated that some of these chalcones are moderate inhibitors of cathepsin K and have no activity against cathepsin B.

Abstract
The present study reveals the anticancer activity of benzylidine pregnenolones and their oxime derivatives. The synthesis of the analogs of both series is very simple and involves aldol condensation in the first step followed by nucleophillic addition of hydroxylamine across carbonyl in the second step. Quantitative yields of more than 80% are obtained in both the steps. All the compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activities against a panel of six human cancer cell lines. Amongst all the compounds of both the series screened for their cytotoxic activity, compound 3e, 3f and 4e are very potent especially against HCT-15 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines.

Abstract
To discover novel cell division cycle 25 (CDC25) B inhibitors and elucidate the mechanisms of inhibition in cancer cells. Nineteen 2'-hydroxy-4'-isoprenyloxychalcone derivatives (a-s) were evaluated the inhibition CDC25B activity. The enzymatic activities of the CDC25B catalytic domain were determined by monitoring the dephosphorylation of OMFP. Cell growth inhibition was detected by MTT assay. The results showed that sixteen compounds significantly inhibited cycle 25B phosphatase in vitro. Among, three compounds k, r and s had the best inhibition activity and significantly inhibited CDC25B with inhibition rates against CDC25B of 99.95%, 99.75%, and 97.77%, respectively, which is similar to the reference drugs Na3VO4 (98%). Cytotoxic activity assays showed compounds k and r are the potent against HCT116, HeLa, and A549 cells, moreover, compound k delayed the potent tumor inhibitory activity in a colo205 xenograft model in vivo.

Abstract
A series of new steroidal 4H-pyrans (4-6) have been synthesized from steroidal α, β-unsaturated ketones (1-3). The products (4-6) were characterized by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, MS and analytical data. The interaction studies of compounds (4-6) with DNA were carried out by employing gel electrophoresis, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The gel electrophoresis pattern revealed that compounds (4-6) bind to DNA and also demonstrated that the compound 6 alone or in presence of Cu (II) causes the nicking of supercoiled pBR322. The compounds 4 and 5 bind to DNA preferentially through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with Kb values found to be 5.3×10(3) and 3.7×10(3) M(-1), respectively, indicating the higher binding affinity of compound 4 towards DNA. The docking study suggested the intercalation of compounds in between the nucleotide base pairs. The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the newly synthesized compounds were checked by MTT and comet assay, respectively during which compound 6 showed potential behaviour.

Abstract
The treatment of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is based on a small group of compounds that were developed decades ago, all of which are highly toxic and have a high rate of treatment failure. The chalcones show leishmanicidal activity, yet few studies have evaluated this activity against Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, one of the most important species of Leishmania across Latin America. Four new synthetic chalcones (1-4) were evaluated for inhibitory activity in vitro against promastigotes and intracellular parasites 24h post infection of L. (V.) braziliensis, cytotoxicity for macrophages J774.A1 and red blood cells, and the ability to stimulate nitric oxide production. The results for the inhibitory concentration for 50% of the promastigotes (IC50) (1.38±1.09-6.36±2.04μM), cytotoxic concentration for 50% of the macrophages (CC50) (13.49±3.13-199.43±4.11μM), and selectivity index (SI) (3.76 to 33.94) indicate that all chalcones (1-4) showed an effect on promastigotes of L. (V.) braziliensis; chalcone 2 had the highest SI. The haemolytic assay with chalcones 1 (301.93μM), 2 (534.18μM), 3 (419.46μM) and 4 (381.11μM) showed 0.00%, 2.33%, 0.57% and 1.74% haemolysis, respectively. All chalcones significantly reduced the infection index of macrophages by parasites; for chalcones (1-3) this effect may be dependent on nitric-oxide production by macrophages. The chalcones tested exhibited inhibitory activity for promastigotes and intracellular parasites of L. (V.) braziliensis, with low toxicity for macrophages and red blood cells. The anti-Leishmania activity of chalcones (1-3) may depend on the stimulation of nitric-oxide production in the initial stage of infection. These results show an initially encouraging potential for the use of chalcones (1-4) to treat ACL.

Abstract
Steroids are important biodynamic agents. Their affinities for various nuclear receptors have been an interesting feature to utilize them for drug development particularly for receptor mediated diseases. Steroid biochemistry and its crucial role in human physiology, has attained importance among the researchers. Recent years have seen an extensive focus on modification of steroids. The rational modifications of perhydrocyclopentanophenanthrene nucleus of steroids have yielded several important anticancer lead molecules. Exemestane, SR16157, fulvestrant and 2-methoxyestradiol are some of the successful leads emerged on steroidal pharmacophores. The present review is an update on some of the steroidal leads obtained during past 25 years. Various steroid based enzyme inhibitors, antiestrogens, cytotoxic conjugates and steroidal cytotoxic molecules of natural as well as synthetic origin have been highlighted. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Synthesis and biological testing of steroid derivatives as inhibitors".

Abstract
A series of β-ionone derived chalcones were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against various human cancer cell lines using SRB dye assay. All the compounds displayed moderate to high cytotoxic effect against almost all the cancer cell lines. The results also revealed the effect of substituents of the aromatic ring on their inhibitory potential. In general, compounds bearing electron withdrawing groups such as nitro, fluoro, chloro and bromo showed more inhibitory potential than those bearing electron donating groups. The nitro substituted compound (7h) showed comparatively more inhibitory potential than other derivatives, therefore, it was further investigated for observing its effect on cell morphology in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by using phase contrast imaging, cell cycle analysis and annexin-FITC apoptosis assay. The treated cells exhibited the characteristics of apoptosis i.e. cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation, and induced the inhibition of cell proliferation by arresting the cells at G0 phase.

Abstract
With the aim of synthesizing new heterocyclic compounds and exploring biological potency, new series of chalcones, that is, 3-(2-hydroxy-5-(aryl-diazenyl)phenyl)-1-(aryl)prop-2-en-1-one and their pyrimidine derivatives, that is, 4-(2-hydroxy-5-(aryl-diazenyl)phenyl)-6-(aryl)pyrimidin-2-ols were synthesized using different aromatic amines and salicylaldehyde as starting moieties. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed using different spectroscopic techniques such as IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectral analysis, and elemental analysis. The newly synthesized pyrimidines derivatives were screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. It was observed that some of the newly synthesized compounds had shown promising activity against several bacterial and fungal stains. Anti-bacterial activity and anti-fungal activity studies revealed that pyrimidine derivatives consisting of nitro group in their molecular structure possess better activity than their corresponding chalcones.
