Morachalcone A Usage And Synthesis

Description

Morachalcone A exhibits neuroprotective effects on HT22-immortalized hippocampal cells against glutamate-induced oxidative stress, with EC50 values of 35.5±1 uM. Morachalcone A exhibits potent inhibitory activity on nitric oxide production in RAW264.7 LPS-activated mouse macrophage cells with IC50 value of 16.4 microM. 3. Morachalcone A displays significant tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC50, 0.013 uM). 4. Morachalcone A exerts strong pancreatic lipase inhibition with IC 50 value of 6.2 uM.

Uses

Morachalcone A is a naturally-occurring aromatase inhibitor (IC50=4.6 mM). Morachalcone A is also a plants metabolite with potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. Morachalcone A inhibits Lipopolysaccharide (HY-D1056)-induced nitric oxide production[1][2][3].

Definition
