title: Synthesis, biological evaluation and in silico metabolic and toxicity prediction of some flavanone derivatives.
abstract: Flavones chemically are anthoxanthins, occur either in the free state or as glycosides associated with tannins (flavanoids). Flavanoids (derivatives of flavone) possess various pharmacological activities and due to its xanthine-oxidase enzyme inhibitory effect it also has superoxide-scavenging activities. A series of 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrochromon-4-one derivatives (flavanone derivatives) were synthesized from chalcones by cyclization method and their activities were evaluated against some gram positive and gram-negative bacteria. IR, NMR and CHN analysis confirmed the structure of the synthesized compounds. The results of the antibacterial studies shows that compounds 2b, 2e, 2f and 2h possess activity against many bacterial strains. Among that the compound (2h) has remarkable activity against all strains viz. 25 microg/ml inhibitory concentration against S. aureus, S. sonnei, E. coli, S. typhimurium and V. cholerae. Compound 2f possess minimum inhibitory concentration of 200 microg/ml against E. coli and S. typhimurium and 25 microg/ml against S. sonnei, S. dysenteriae and V. cholerae. In silico metabolic and toxicity study of the synthesized compounds were performed and the predicted result showed that the compound having hydroxyl functional group undergo sulfate and O-glucuronide conjugation reaction and methoxy derivatives undergo demethylation reaction. The biologically active compounds are free of toxicity in oncogene, teratogen, sensitivity and immunotoxicity.
