ABSTRACT:
The Chalcone is aromatic compounds that forms the central core for different necessity of biological compounds, and are prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of equimolar concentrations of arylaldehydes and acetophenones which are generally base catalysed. Chalcones are considered as the precursors of flavonoids and isoflavonoids. as the precursors the precursors of flavonoids and isoflavonoids. Chemically, chalcones are 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones in which two aromatic rings are joined by a three carbon bridge having a carbonyl moiety and α,β unsaturation. One of the most important classes of chalcones is the ring closure reactions with hydrazine, phenyl hydrazine, guanidine, urea etc. forming heterocyclic derivatives of chalcones. Both chalcones and their heterocyclic derivatives have a large number of pharmacological activities such as anti antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, inflammatory, antitumor, anticancer, anti mitotic, anti leishmanial, anti-malarial, anti tubercular, antiviral, cytotoxic, etc. In this research paper (review) the efforts have been made to show some synthesis and biological activities of chalcones and their derivatives.
KEYWORDS: Chalcones, Claisen-Schmidt condensation, Antimicrobial Activity, Heterocyclic Derivatives
Chalcones are a major class which is belongs to the flavonoid family. They are considered as the precursors of flavonoids and is flavonoids. They are also the precursors of a number of biologically important heterocycles such as benzothiazepines, pyrazolines, and flavones. [1] They are generally distributed in tea, spices, soy based foods, fruits, vegetables and other plant products. Chemically, chalcones are 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones in which two aromatic rings or substituted aromatic rings are joined together by a three carbon atom α, β unsaturated carbonyl system. They have the following structure.
Figure 1 Structure of Chalcones
Generally, chalcones are prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of aryl aldehydes and acetophenones. The reactions are catalyze based, but acid catalyzed, solid and resin supported, and microwave assisted versions are also reported. These reaction methodologies are related with draw backs such as long reaction times, low yields, use of expensive reagents and catalysts etc. [2]
Figure 2 Synthesis of Chalcones
One of the essential class of reactions which chalcones undergo are the ring closure reactions with, malonitrile, hydrazine, guanidine and so on bearing heterocyclic derivatives such as pyrimidine, pyrazoline, cyanopyridine, iso-oxazole etc.[3,4] The enone present in the chalcones provides an attractive site for 1,3-dinucleophiles affording such heterocyclicring-systems.[5] Such reactions are generally catalysed by ethanolic NaOH or ethanolic KOH solutions under reflux conditions, however the utilization of different agents like piperidine is also reported.[6]
Figure 3 Ring closure reactions of chalcones
Chalcones and their derivatives, whether naturally or synthetic occurring are an interesting and significant group of molecules as they have an extensive variety of pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, antitumor, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti mitotic, anti leishmanial, anti-malarial, anti tubercular, antiviral, cytotoxic etc.[7-20] Various chalcone and their derivatives are reported to inhibit various important enzymes of dissimilar cellular systems. Such enzymes incorporate aldose reductase, epoxide hydrolase, xanthine oxidase, protein tyrosine kinase, quinone reductase, monoamine oxidase and lipoxygenase. [21-23]

CONCLUSION:
From the above review it is evident that chalcones and their heterocyclic derivatives represent a promising class of compounds as they show a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as: anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, cytotoxic, antitumor, anticancer, antimitotic, antileishmanial, anti-malarial, antitubercular, antiviral etc. They also possess enzymes inhibitory activities including xanthine oxidase, aldose reductase, epoxide hydrolase, protein tyrosine kinase, quinone reductase, monoamine oxidase and lipoxygenase. A number of substitutions are possible in the aromatic rings and ring closure reactions of the chalcones affords heterocyclic derivatives which are pharmacologically active which further warrants the exploitation of this class of compounds.
