ABSTRACT
Chalcones scaffolds have attracted many researchers to investigate their
synthetic routes, potential biological activities and their roles as intermediates for
naturally occurring flavanoid skeletons. This study focused on the synthesis of
chalcones bearing the O-, C-prenyl and chromane as substituents. The target
compounds were purified by chromatographic methods and the structures of these
compounds were determined by using infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) spectroscopies. The prenylated precursors were
synthesized starting from 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone (65) and 2,4,6-
trihydroxyacetophenone (93). Prenylation of 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone using
prenyl bromide has been successfully accomplished to produce 2-hydroxy-4-O-
prenylacetophenone (101). A reaction of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone with prenyl
bromide in the presence of base resulted in a mixture and the chromatographic
purification gave 2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-C-prenylacetophenone (132) and 2,4-dihydroxy-
5,6-chromanacetophenone (133). Compound (133) was prenylated into 2-hydroxy-4-
O-prenyl-5,6-chromanacetophenone (136). C-prenylated acetophenone (132) was
then converted to 2-hydroxy-3-C-prenyl-4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone (137) using
methyl iodide in the presence of potassium carbonate. Claisen-Schmidt condensation
of O- and C-prenylated acetophenone with individual benzaldehydes, namely 4-
(N,N-dimethyl)aminobenzaldehyde (61), 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (126), 4-
isopropylbenzaldehyde (127), 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (128) and 4-
chlorobenzaldehyde (129) resulted in the formation of two series of chalcones, each
consisting of five chalcones. These two series differ in the existence of prenyl
substituents on ring A of the chalcone structure. Five chalcones bear O-prenyl and
five others bear C-prenyl substituent with both series having the same substituents on
ring B consisting of 4-(N,N-dimethyl)amino, 2-methoxy, 4-isopropyl, 3,4-dimethoxy
and 4-chloro substituents. Chromanochalcone (152) was the sole compound
successfully synthesized with the aid of prenylation of free hydroxyl group of the
chromanacetophenone (133) precursor. All the synthetic compounds were screened
for antibacterial activity by the micro dilution method against two bacteria strains,
namely Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and Gram
negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli). The compounds were also
tested for 15-LOX assay using Lipoxygenase inhibitory screening assay kit (Item No.
760700). All the synthetic compounds did not show activity against the bacteria
tested, while compound (138) and (145) showed moderate lypoxygenase activity at
100 M concentration with 53.9% and 50.9% inhibition, respectively.

ABSTRAK
Rangka kalkon telah menarik ramai penyelidik untuk mengkaji laluan
sintesis, keupayaan aktiviti biologi dan peranannya sebagai bahan perantara untuk
rangka flavanoid semulajadi. Kajian ini memfokuskan kepada sintesis kalkon yang
mempunyai penukarganti O-, C-prenil dan kromano. Sebatian sasaran ditulenkan
dengan kaedah kromatografi dan struktur semua sebatian ditentukan dengan
menggunakan kaedah spektroskopi inframerah (IM), resonans magnetik nuklear
(RMN) dan spektrometri jisim (SJ). Prekursor terprenil telah disintesiskan bermula
daripada 2,4-dihidroksiasetofenon (65) dan 2,4,6-trihidroksiasetofenon (93).
Pemprenilan 2,4-dihidroksiasetofenon menggunakan prenil bromida telah
dilaksanakan dengan jayanya bagi menghasilkan 2-hidroksi-4-O-prenilasetofenon
(101). Tindak balas 2,4,6-trihidroksiasetofenon dengan prenil bromida dengan
kehadiran bes telah menghasilkan satu campuran, dan penulenan kromatografi
memberikan 2,4,6-trihidroksi-3-C-prenilasetofenon (132) dan 2,4-dihidroksi-5,6-
kromanasetofenon (133). Sebatian (133) telah diprenilkan kepada 2-hidroksi-4-O-
prenil-5,6-kromanasetofenon (136). C-prenilasetofenon (132) kemudian diubah
kepada 2-hidroksi-3-C-prenil-4,6-dimetoksiasetofenon (137) menggunakan metil
iodida dengan kehadiran kalium karbonat. Kondensasi Claisen-Schmidt O- dan C-
prenilasetofenon dengan benzaldehid individu, iaitu 4-(N,N-
dimetil)aminobenzaldehid (61), 2-metoksibenzaldehid (126), 4-isopropilbenzaldehid
(127), 3,4-dimetoksibenzaldehid (128) dan 4-klorobenzaldehid (129) telah
menghasilkan dua siri kalkon, tiap-tiap satu terdiri daripada lima kalkon. Dua siri ini
berbeza dari segi kewujudan prenil pada gelang A struktur kalkon. Lima kalkon
mempunyai O-prenil dan lima kalkon yang lain mempunyai penukar ganti C-prenil
dengan kedua-dua siri mempunyai penukar ganti yang sama pada gelang B yang
terdiri daripada penukar ganti 4-(N,N-dimetil)amino, 2-metoksi, 4-isopropil, 3,4-
dimetoksi and 4-kloro. Kromanokalkon (152) adalah sebatian tunggal yang berjaya
disintesis dengan bantuan pemprenilan kumpulan hidroksil bebas pada prekursor
kromanasetofenon (133). Semua sebatian sintetik telah disaring untuk aktiviti
antibakteria menggunakan kaedah pencairan mikro terhadap dua jujukan bakteria
iaitu Gram positif (Staphylococcus aureus dan Bacillus subtilis) dan Gram negatif
(Pseudomonas aeruginosa dan Escherichia coli). Sebatian juga telah diuji untuk
cerakin 15-LOX menggunakan kit cerakin saringan perencatan lipoksigenase (Item
No. 760700). Semua sebatian sintetik tidak menunjukkan aktiviti terhadap bakteria
yang diuji, manakala sebatian (138) dan (145) menunjukkan aktiviti lipoksigenase
sederhana pada kepekatan 100 M dengan masing-masing mempunyai nilai
perencatan sebanyak 53.9% dan 50.9%.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Introduction
Flavonoids are abundance group of polyphenolic substances which can be
extracted in most plants and sometimes presence as glycosides [1]. Multiple
combination of substituent such as hydroxyl, oxygen, methyl groups and sugars
attached to these structures create the various classes of flavonoids (1), flavonols (2),
flavanones (3), flavones (4), flavan-3-ols (5), anthocyanidins (6) and isoflavones (7).
Flavonoids have shown capability as potential antitumor, antineoplastics activities,
antimicrobial and antimalarial agents [1].

Chalcone is the simplest flavonoid with a fifteen-carbon skeleton (C6-C3-C6)
(8) which possessed two phenyl rings connected by three carbon bridges [2]. The
synthesized chalcones were obtained via Claisen-Schmidt condensation with
2
association of cross aldol condensation of appropriate aldehydes and ketones,
catalysed by base or acid and enclosed by dehydration [3].

Chalcone (8) are intermediates in the biosynthesis of flavonoids that
widespread in plants and with an array of bioactivities [2]. Derivatives of chalcone
are physiologically active compounds and become the substrates for the valuation of
various organic syntheses [2]. Lipophilic prenyl side-chain attached to a chalcone
moiety has been attracting the attention of the scientific community because of their
myriad biological activities [4] which include O-prenylation, C-prenylation and
chroman group [5]. Natural prenylated chalcones such as xanthohumol (9) exhibit
numerous pharmacological properties such as antibacterial [6], antitumor [7],
antihistaminic [8], antioxidant [9], and antiplasmodial activity [10].

1.2 Problem Statement
Owing to their simple structures and ease of preparation, chalcones
intermediates for the synthesis of large number of derivatives of flavonoids. Besides
prenylation, the pharmacological properties of chalcones also related to the presence,
number and position of hydroxyl and methoxyl groups in both A and B ring. Hence,
3
the synthesis of prenylated derivatives which include O-prenyl, C-prenyl, and
chromane chalcones bearing hydroxyl and methoxyl substituents is undertaken. The
previous mentioned structural moieties are expected to display significant biological
activities.
1.3 Objectives of Study
The objectives of this study are:
1. To synthesis, purify and elucidate the acetophenone derivatives with O-
prenyl, C-prenyl and chromane as the side chains.
2. To synthesis, purify, elucidate the series of O-prenyl, C-prenyl and
chromanochalcones.
3. To screen the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities (LOX) of the
synthesized chalcones.
1.4 Scope of Study
The initial reactions were carried out by synthesizing O-prenyl, C-
prenylacetophenone and chromanacetophenone from 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone
and 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone using prenyl bromide in the presence of either 1,8-
diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU) or K2CO3 as base without the use of protecting
group. Mixtures of compounds were purified by recrystallization techniques or silica
gel column chromatography (CC). Structures of O-prenyl, C-prenyl and
chromanacetophenone were determined using IR and NMR (1D and 2D).
Acetophenone derivatives were subjected to methylation using methyl iodide in
K2CO3 followed by purification and structural elucidation. All characterized
acetophenone derivatives were subjected to Claisen-Schmidt reaction with
benzaldehyde derivatives which include benzaldehyde bearing substituents 4-(N,N-
dimethyl)amino, 2-methoxyl, 4-isopropyl, 3,4-dimethoxyl, and 4-chloro to form
4
chalcones. The reaction mixtures were purified by CC and the pure compounds were
elucidated spectroscopically by IR, NMR and MS. The synthesized chalcones were
screened for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. Minimum inhibition
concentration (MIC) using microdilution method was used as the tool to determine
the antibacterial activity of the synthesized compounds against the Gram-positive
and Gram-negative bacteria. Lipoxygenase assay (LOX) was used to screen the anti-
inflammatory activity of the synthesized chalcones.
