Application

1,3-Diphenyl-2-propenone was used in the preparation of pharmacologically-interesting heterocyclic systems like pyrazolines and pyrimidines.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1,3-Diphenyl-2-propenone (chalcone) inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 by inducing apoptosis and blocking cell cycle progression in the G2/M phase. It is an inhibitor of Plasmodium falciparum cyclin-dependent protein kinases.

Rhenium and technetium-99m cyclopentadienyl tricarbonyl complexes mimicking the chalcone structure were prepared. These complexes were proved to have affinity to β-amyloid (Aβ) in fluorescent staining on brain sections of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patient and binding assay using Aβ(1-42) aggregates, with

The cyclin dependent protein kinases, Pfmrk and PfPK5, most likely play an essential role in cell cycle control and differentiation in Plasmodium falciparum and are thus an attractive target for antimalarial drug development. Various 1,3-diaryl-2-propenones (chalcone derivatives) which selectivity inhibit
