5. SUMMARY & CONCLUSION. 5.1. Synthesis of Novel dihydro methyl Chalcones and their biological activity. The starting materials for the synthesis of various substituted dihydro 3-methyl chalcones were substituted benzaldehyde and 2-hydroxypropiophenone. The reactions were based on Claisen- Schmidt condensation but without dehydration process. An attempt has been made to synthesized 15 novel dihydro chalcones which is differ from classical Claisen-Schmidt condensation would have been explained as follows. In an attempt to modify the classical Claisen-Schmidt synthesis for chalcones which involves aldol condensation followed by dehydration. A strategy was envisaged after proper study based on Prentic Hall Frame Work Molecular Model that instead of acetophenone, if propiophenones are taken the OH (Hydroxy group) generated from CHO of aromatic aldehyde would prefer to be trans to the methyl with the results that no vicinal trans hydrogen atom will be available for the elimination of a water molecule. There is restriction of free rotation ( freedom) across. for vicinal hydrogen & OH to take trans position.

An attempt has been made to synthesized 15 trans chalcones which is differing from classical Claisen-Schmidt condensation would have been explained as follows. Specification; On the basis of different reaction conditions and spectroscopic data, it has been found that the compounds synthesized were categorized into two groups. The suggested compounds were trans at room temperature, whereas some compounds were only synthesized after heating under reflux. Under these conditions the α hydrogen to the carbonyl group is under magnetic an isotropic environment and is therefore extra ordinary downfield. The 1 HNMR data shows that different configuration of these compounds and chemical shift of α and β hydrogen atoms are very close to each other which is un usual, but could be a special case of protons which are chemically different but magnetically very close. All the synthesized compounds were purified by melting point (uncorrected) determination, Rf value analysis, and the structure were characterized and established by U.V. IR, 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR and Mass spectrometry. The yield of the synthesized compounds were in the range of 65-90% All the physical data of the synthesized compounds like melting points (uncorrected), Rf value, yield, λ max, and partition coefficient has been determined and summarized. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for the antioxidant, antibacterial antifungal, and cytotoxic activity.

It has been concluded that all the isolated compounds, their analogues and synthetic compounds were well characterized and evaluated (in vitro) for their biological activities. Isoflavones were showing excellent cytotoxic activity, when interact with estrogenic receptors, hence could be good anticancer agents, especially for breast cancer and prostate cancer. In vivo analyses of all natural, semisynthetic and synthetic compounds are required to achieve the scientific goal. The recent report available on analogues of isoflavones for their farnesyltransferase inhibitors will initiate our study to isolate/synthesize many more of such substituted isoflavones.. There is a future scope for the isoflavone to be targeted for newer targets such as CYP-450 aromatase to explore their anticancer agents. Some of the isoflavone product have recently launched. Eg. Ipriflavone a marketed isoflavone reduces total LDL cholesterol level. School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Shoolini University. 211
