Several families of naturally occurring -alkylated dihydrochalcones display a broad range of biological activities, including antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties, depending on their alkylation sidechain. The catalytic Friedel-Crafts alkylation of the readily available aglycon moiety of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone was performed using cinnamyl, benzyl, and isoprenyl alcohols. This procedure provided a straightforward access to a series of derivatives that were structurally related to natural balsacones, uvaretin, and erioschalcones, respectively. The antibacterial and cytotoxic potential of these novel analogs was evaluated in vitro and highlighted some relations between the structure and the pharmacological properties of alkylated dihydrochalcones.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the composition of a CO supercritical fluid extract from Chinese agarwood, focusing on characterizing its components through advanced analytical techniques like GC-MS and GC-FID.
- Initial gas chromatography showed many components were unidentified, prompting further fractionation via silica gel chromatography to isolate and analyze additional constituents using NMR spectroscopy.
- Key findings include the identification of classical agarwood chromones, common essential oil constituents like baimuxinal and kusunol, and the structural determination of a new sesquiterpenic alcohol through various synthetic methods.

A hemisynthesis '' reaction of (thio)barbituric acids with an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde using perillaldehyde from essential oil, afforded chromeno-pyrimidine derivatives and . The reaction was carried out in water and water/ethanol medium without a catalyst. The obtained pyrimidines were identified by their spectral H,C, Dept-135, HMBC, HSQC, COSY, and NOESY 2D.

Ten dimeric procyanidin (PC) analogs were hemisynthesized from catechin or epicatechin and from five different aldehydes using the same mechanism that produces the important acetaldehyde-mediated adducts of proanthocyanidins (PAs) and anthocyanins in red wine. Protein precipitation capacity (PPC), octanol-water partition coefficient (log ) and stability of the PC analogs were determined. The emphasis was on the PPC because it has been shown to correlate with anthelmintic activity against gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants and with other beneficial bioactivities in animals, as well.

Replacement of synthetic colorants with natural ones is a current marketing trend. Nevertheless, the naturally occurring blue color is rare compared to other colours. In this work, centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) process was developed as a more efficient and sustainable alternative to reversed phase column chromatography (RP-CC) for the preparative-scale purification of portisins.
