Chalcones can exist as Z- or E-isomers and it is generally anticipated that both isomers are equipotent. In order to determine the active isomer of anti-plasmodial chalcones a series of analogues locked in the Z- or the E-form were prepared and evaluated for their anti-plasmodial activity. It was shown that the Z-locked analogue was nearly inactive, whereas the E-locked analogues were equipotent to the parent chalcones, indicating that the E-isomer is the active conformation.

Malaria is an intracellular protozoan parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium species with significant morbidity and mortality in endemic regions. The complex lifecycle of the parasite and the emergence of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum have hampered the efficacy of current anti-malarial agents. To circumvent this situation, the present study attempts to demonstrate the blood-stage anti-plasmodial action of 26 hybrid compounds containing the three privileged bioactive scaffolds (sulfonamide, chalcone, and nitro group) with synergistic and multitarget action.

Leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, and malaria are a group of neglected tropical diseases present in tropical regions and they affect large numbers of people in developing countries. A series of thirteen coumaro-chalcones (-) were synthesized under solvent-free conditions and their anti-leishmanial, anti-plasmodial, anti-trypanosomal and cytotoxic activities were evaluated. One of these coumaro-chalcones, 3-[(2)-3-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]-2H-chromen-2-one (), is a new compound.

Quinoline derivatives have been reported to possess enticing pharmacological properties. In particular, quinoline-chalcones are identified as promising scaffolds for drug discovery. For a long, the quinoline analogs have been in clinical use for various medical conditions such as cancer inhibitory activity, antibacterial and antifungal, anti-plasmodial, DNA damage inhibitory activity, etc.

Natural products like coumarins, chalcones, and resveratrol have inherent biological activity in several models of diseases; therefore, their natural dimeric forms are highlighted in this review and their key structural similarities, isolation and pharmacological significance is discussed. These natural products may be dimerized during their biosynthesis, which proceeds through atom- and energy-sufficient methods involving dimeric enzymes, to provide complex structures from simple compounds. Coumarin-derived dimers features the C-C or C-O-C biaryl, terpene sidechain linkages or by cyclobutane ring and acts as inhibitors of α-glucosidase, and cytochrome p450 while some show anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activities, while chalcone-derived dimers have the 1,3-dihydroxy phenyl (resorcinol) substitution on the periphery of cyclobutane or cyclohexane ring and inhibit topoisomerase, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), and cathepsins and others possess anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-plasmodial activities.

A series of aliphatic and aromatic substituted 1H-1,2,3-triazole-tethered 4-amino-quinoline-ferrocenylchalcone conjugates has been synthesized and evaluated for anti-plasmodial activity. The conjugates with flexible aliphatic (aminoethanol or aminopropanol) substituents on the quinoline ring showed better anti-plasmodial activities compared to those with cyclic (piperazine or aminophenol) substituents. The conjugate 17j was the most potent and non-cytotoxic, with an IC value of 0.
