Many clinically relevant therapeutic agents are formed from the conjugation of small molecules to biomolecules through conjugating linkers. In this study, two novel conjugating linkers were prepared, comprising a central coumarin core, functionalized with a dimaleimide moiety at one end and a terminal alkyne at the other. In our first design, we developed a protein labelling method that site-specifically introduces an alkyne functional group to a dicysteine target peptide tag that was genetically fused to a protein of interest. This method allows for the subsequent attachment of azide-functionalized cargo in the facile synthesis of novel protein-cargo conjugates. However, the fluorogenic aspect of the reaction between the linker and the target peptide was less than we desired. To address this shortcoming, a second linker reagent was prepared. This new design also allowed for the site-specific introduction of an alkyne functional group onto the target peptide, but in a highly fluorogenic and rapid manner. The site-specific addition of an alkyne group to a protein of interest was thus monitored in situ by fluorescence increase, prior to the attachment of azide-functionalized cargo. Finally, we also demonstrated that the cargo can also be attached first, in an azide/alkyne cycloaddition reaction, prior to fluorogenic conjugation with the target peptide-fused protein.

ABSTRACTObjective: Chalcones and their heterocyclic analogs represent an important class of small molecules having anticonvulsant activities. Therefore, inthis study, the synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of some new chalcones and 1,3-thiazines were described.Methods: The reaction of 1-acetylnaphthalene with substituted aromatic aldehydes in the presence of aq. NaOH afforded corresponding chalconeswhich upon further cyclization with thiourea resulted in 1,3-thiazine derivatives. The newly synthesized compounds were tested for anticonvulsantactivity by pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures method using diazepam as standard.Results: Most of the compounds showed good anticonvulsant activity but is less than diazepam. 1,3-thiazines were more potent than chalconesand among them, compound P4 containing 4-fluorophenyl substituents on the thiazine moiety was more potent as it has prolonged the onset ofconvulsions by 155.2 seconds.Conclusion: We described the synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of novel chalcones and 1,3-thiazine derivatives. 1,3-thiazines are more activeanticonvulsant agents than chalcones and in particular compounds with electron withdrawing substituents.Keywords: Chalcone, 1,3-thiazine, Pentylenetetrazole.

Hydroxylchalcone are known to act on various physiological targets. In this study, a series of nine hydroxychalcones were synthesized via the aldol condensation with the aim of obtaining bioactive small molecules. Their structures were characterized by NMR spectra. The anti-breast cancer activity evaluation indicated the monohydroxychalcones exhibited the better anti-proliferative effect than dihydroxylchalcones against MDA-MB-231 cells, and the compound3bshowed the best anti-breast cancer activities at 18 μM. The bioactive compounds might be used to develop as potential anti-breast cancer agents.
