Phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Andrographis viscosula has led to the isolation of three new 2'-oxygenated flavonoids, (2R)-5-hydroxy-7,2',3'-trimethoxyflavanone (1), 7,2',5'-trimethoxyflavone (2), 5,7,2',3'-tetramethoxyflavone (3), and eight known flavones, 5,7,2'-trimethoxyflavone (4), 5,7,2',4',5'-pentamethoxyflavone (5), echioidinin (6), 5,2',6'-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone (7), 5-hydroxy-7,2'-dimethoxyflavone (8), echioidin (9), echioidinin 5-O-glucoside (10), and 5,2',6'-trihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone 2'-O-glucoside (11). The structures of 1-11 were elucidated by physical and spectral methods, including extensive 2D NMR studies. The presence of 2'-oxygenated flavonoids is apparently restricted to Andrographis species in Acanthaceae. Therefore, 2'-oxygenated flavonoids are regarded as chemotaxonomic markers of Andrographis genus in the Acanthaceae family.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied the whole plants of Andrographis echioides and discovered two new flavonoids and two new phenyl glycosides, in addition to 37 other known compounds.
- The new compounds were identified using various types of spectral analysis and chemical transformation techniques.
- The bioactivity of some isolated compounds was tested for their ability to inhibit iNOS, and the study also explored how the structure of flavonoids affects their ability to reduce nitric oxide production.

Chalcone is a unique template that is associated with several biological activities. In this review, an update of the cytotoxic and chemoprotective activities of chalcones is provided. Cytotoxicity against tumour cell lines may be the result of disruption of the cell cycle, inhibition of angiogenesis, interference with p53-MDM2 interaction, mitochondrial uncoupling or induction of apoptosis.

Ten structurally related 2'-oxygenated chalcone derivatives, bearing either hydroxy and/or methoxy substituents on the A and B rings, were synthesized through Claisen-Schmidt condensation. The synthesis procedure was relatively easy and had an acceptable yield. The in vitro cytotoxicities of these compounds against the human tumor cells such as Jurkat, U937 cells, and normal cells PHA stimulated PBMCs were investigated.
