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 order to develop relatively small molecules as antimycobacterial agents, twenty-five chalcones were synthesized, their activity was evaluated, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) was developed. The synthesis was based on the Claisen-Schimdt scheme and the resultant compounds were tested for
