A series of dibenzylideneacetones (A1-A12) and some of their pyrazolines (B1-B4) were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for blood stage antiplasmodial properties in Plasmodium falciparum culture using SYBR-green-I fluorescence assay. The compound (1E, 4E)-1,5-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (A9) was found to be the

Inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a major cause of drug-drug interactions. In this work, inhibitory potentials of 33 curcumin analogues, i.e. 2,6-dibenzylidenecyclohexanone (A series), 2,5-dibenzylidenecyclopentanone (B series) and 1,4-pentadiene-3-one (C series) substituted analogues of curcumin towards recombinant human CYP1A2

A new and extensive set of dibenzylideneacetone derivatives was synthesized and screened for affinity toward Aβ(1-42) aggregates. Structure-activity relationships revealed the binding of dibenzylideneacetones to be affected by various substituents. The introduction of a substituent group in the ortho position
