General description

trans-Chalcone is an open chain flavonoid that may prevent lung and forestomach cancer.

Application

trans-Chalcone was used in the synthesis of cis and trans diphenyl cyclopropane. It was also used in screening of surface adsorbed species of isobutybenzene and 4-isobutylacetophenone on bulk fosfotungstic Wells-Dawson acid (H6P2W18O62.xH2O).

Biochem/physiol Actions

trans-Chalcone exhibits antifungal activity against Trichophyton rubrum. It is inhibitor of fatty acid synthase and α-amylase. It induces programmed cell death due to reduced mitochondrial transmembrane potential in Arabidopsis thaliana roots.

In an effort to develop potent antiamoebic agents, we have synthesized chalcones (1-8), amino-5-substituted-(3-phenyl(2-pyrazolinyl))methane-1-thione derivatives (1a-8a) and 2-(5-substituted-3-phenyl-2-pyrazolinyl)-1,3-thiazolino[5,4-b]quinoxaline derivatives (1b-8b) and evaluated for their in vitro antiamoebic activity against HM1:IMSS strain of E. histolytica. All the compounds were characterized by
