[Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of ursolic acid derivative-chalcone conjugates]
Abstract:
A series of novel conjugates with ursolic acid core and different chalcone ligands were synthesized via ursolic acid, 4-hydroxyacetophenone and aromatic aldehydes. All of the conjugates were confirmed by the application of IR, (1)H NMR, (13C) NMR and HR-MS. The anti-inflammatory effect was observed for the target compounds in xylene-induced mouse ear edema and carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. The preliminary bioassay test demonstrated that these compounds had potent anti-inflammatory activities, and their activities were better than that of the parent ursolic acid. Among them, 1-en-3-oxoursolic acid-chalcone conjugates (6a-6g) exhibited higher activities than analogues 5a-5g and 7a-7g.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
