An efficient route for the coupling of maleimides with chromones at the C5-position has been developed under Ru(II) catalysis. It could provide 1,4-addition products and oxidative Heck-type products by switching additives. Benzoic acid led to the formation of 1,4-addition products under solvent-free conditions, and silver acetate was promoted to the generation of oxidative Heck-type products. Various maleimides and chromones were suitable for this transformation, affording the desired products with good to excellent yields in a short reaction time. To understand the mechanism of this reaction, deuteration studies and control experiments have been performed.

Apigenin, a natural flavonoid compound found in chamomile (Matricaia chamomilla L.) from the Asteraceae family, has been shown in our previous study to possess antimyocardial hypertrophy and anti-cardiac fibrosis effects. However, its effects and mechanisms on the pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by doxorubicin (DOX) are poorly understood.

Diosmin and bromelain are bioactive compounds of plant origin with proven beneficial effects on the human cardiovascular system. We found that diosmin and bromelain slightly reduced total carbonyls levels and had no effect on TBARS levels, as well as slightly increased the total non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity in the RBCs at concentrations of 30 and 60 µg/mL. Diosmin and bromelain induced a significant increase in total thiols and glutathione in the RBCs.

Chemical Biology Research Center at School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang 325035, China. Electronic address:

Acute lung injury (ALI) is an acute inflammatory disease, which severely impacts lung function with a high lethality rate. Chromone and maleimide are very important moieties of anti-inflammatory agents. Here, forty new chromone-maleimide hybrids were readily synthesized using a Heck-type coupling strategy in good yields and were screened for their anti-inflammatory activity.

Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus are common human pathogens, frequently isolated independently or co-isolated from bloodstream infections, and able to form dense polymicrobial biofilms on various medical devices resulting in strong resistance to conventionally used antimicrobials. New and innovative approaches are therefore needed to ensure the successful management of biofilm related infections. In this study, a chalcone-based derivative and a polycyclic anthracene-maleimide adduct, previously ascertained by us as inhibitors of C.
