General description

1,3-Diphenyl-1,3-propanedione also known as Dibenzoylmethane, a symmetrical ß-diketone with the ability to form strong intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonds is commonly used to produces a Schiff base in reaction with benzidine.

Application


  • A radical-anion chain mechanism following dissociative electron transfer reduction of the model prostaglandin endoperoxide, 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane.: This study explores the unique chemical properties of 1,3-Diphenyl-1,3-propanedione in the context of electron transfer reactions. The research unveils its potential in creating advanced prostaglandin models, crucial for pharmaceutical applications and drug synthesis. This application is especially significant in the context of prostaglandin biosynthesis, offering a pathway to new drug development strategies within the pharmaceutical industry and biochemical research (Magri & Workentin, 2008).

Previously, phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and dibenzoylmethane (DBM) had been shown to inhibit intestinal carcinogenesis in Apc(Min/+) mice. In this study, we investigated the chemopreventive efficacy of PEITC and DBM in the azoxymethane (AOM)-initiated and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-promoted colon cancer
