Introduction: Resveratrol and chalcones are lead compounds with good biological activities.
Method: In this study, a series of novel derivatives (6-38) between resveratrol and chalcone possessing piperazine moiety have been synthesized, and in vitro anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW-264.7 macrophages and anti-proliferative effect on a panel of human tumor cell lines (Hela, A549 and SGC7901) by MTT assay were evaluated.
Result: The results demonstrated that the substituents of the NH group of piperazine ring had an obvious influence on biological activities. Especially, compounds 13, 17, 30, 31 and 36 showed good inhibitory effect on the generation of NO compared to dexamethasone. Furthermore, analogs 20, 21, 22 and 25 were found to be the better anti-proliferative effect on 3 human tumor cell lines, which were found to be a better cytotoxic activity to positive control 5-FU. Many compounds displayed low cytotoxic effect on normal cells L02.
Conclusion: Further FACs analysis showed that compounds 20 and 25 significantly induced apoptosis in A549 cell. These derivatives were considered as the potential anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor agents.

Screening of the ChemDiv molecular library in cholesterol media against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Rv strain identified a novel isoxazole thiophene hit as a putative Rv1625c/Cya activator with a promising in vitro activity and good pharmacokinetic properties. Twenty-nine analogs were synthesized to assess the structure-activity relationships (SAR) to further improve potency. The most notable analog was P15, which showed an intramacrophage EC = 1.

The synthesis of chiral -difluorinated spiro-heterocyclic compounds continues to be a significant challenge in organic chemistry due to their widespread applications across various fields. Therefore, efficient asymmetric approaches for the synthesis of -difluorinated spiroindanone-dihydroquinazolinones are particularly valuable, especially in the industrial manufacturing of chiral fluorinated drugs. Herein, we developed the CPA-catalyzed asymmetric enantioselective cyclization reactions of -difluoroalkyl 1,3-indandiones with anthranilamides to achieve various chiral 2,2-difluoro-spiroindanone-dihydroquinazolinones in good to high yields with excellent enantioselectivities.

This study aimed to develop gastroretentive tablets based on mucoadhesive-floating systems with encapsulated gentian (, Gentianaceae) root extract to overcome the low bioavailability and short elimination half-life of gentiopicroside, a dominant bioactive compound with systemic effect. The formulation also aimed to promote the local action of the extract in the stomach. Tablets were obtained by direct compression of sodium bicarbonate (7.

: The tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) is a lipid-soluble vitamin that has good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The TRF is widely studied as a potential treatment for various diseases, including bone diseases. However, its application is limited due to its poor oral bioavailability profile, warranting an innovative approach to overcome its pharmacokinetic limitations.
