The invention discloses an indole
pyridine chalcone compound and application thereof in
medicine for treating
colitis, and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. The compound has a structure as shown in a formula I, wherein R1 is selected from C1-C8
alkyl, C1-C8 alkoxy,
halogen, cyano,
nitryl and morpholinyl, and R2 is selected from
nitryl. According to the invention, multiple excellent pharmacophores such as indole,
pyridine,
chalcone, sulfonamide and the like are fused in the same molecule for the first time, the preparation method does not need pre-activation of a substrate, does not need a
metal catalyst or an additive, and has the advantages of mild
reaction conditions, high yield, good selectivity, low cost and environmental friendliness. The compound has strong inhibitory activity on
hexokinase 2 (HK2), can significantly inhibit
inflammatory response and regulate
