2-Hydroxychalcone Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

2-hydroxychalcone, a natural flavonoid, is a potent antioxidant, inhibiting lipid peroxidation. It is also capable of inducing apoptosis by downregulating Bcl-2 levels and inhibiting the activation of NF-kB.

Synthesis

A synthesis of 2-Hydroxychalcone was conducted using acetophenone and o-hydroxybenzaldehyde as starting materials. The reaction was catalyzed by potassium hydroxide and ethanol was used as the solvent.

in vitro

2-Hydroxychalcone inhibits invasion of triple negative breast cancer cells.
2-hydroxychalcone inhibits the adhesion of peripheral neutrophils to the endothelial cell monolayers by inhibiting the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin in a concentration-dependent manner.
