Abstract:

Chalcones comprise one of the main classes of natural products, and their structure is an interesting scaffold for different chemical modifications, including the functional group interconversions. Among the different groups that are correlated to bioactivity of chalcones, the side prenyl chains seem to be related to plasmatic membrane anchorage. For this reason, we have synthesized a series of 20 new O-prenylated chalcones, including isoprenylated, geranylated and farnesylated derivatives. In addition, these compounds were evaluated as antifungal agents.
