Abstract
A series of 2′-hydroxychalcones has been synthesized and screened for their in vitro inhibitory activities of cyclooxygenase-2 catalyzed prostaglandin production from lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Structure–activity relationship study suggested that inhibitory activity against prostaglandin E 2 production was governed to a greater extent by the substituent on B ring of the chalcone, and most of the active compounds have at least two methoxy or benzyloxy groups on B ring. The relationship between chalcone structures and their PGE 2 inhibitory activities was also interpreted by docking study on cyclooxygenase-2.
