In the context of designing innovative anticancer agents, the synthesis of a series of chalcones bearing a 3,4,5-trimethoxylated A ring and a variety of B rings, including phenols and original heterocycles such as chromones, was conducted. For this end, Claisen-Schmidt condensation was performed in basic or acidic conditions between the common starting material 3,4,5-trimethoxyacetophenone and appropriate aldehydes; this allowed the recovery of fifteen chalcones in moderate-good yields. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antiproliferative activity against colorectal and prostatic cancer cells, using a colorimetric MTT assay.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study examines the effects of long-term exposure to sulfuric acid (SA) on skin health in mice, focusing on its potential to cause cancer over a 16-week period.
  • - Results showed that chronic exposure resulted in skin changes like inflammation, increased skin thickness, and early signs of cancer, demonstrated by elevated markers such as p53 and Ki-67.
  • - The research highlights that SA exposure leads to oxidative stress in the skin, emphasizing the need for better safety measures for people working with or around sulfuric acid.
