General description

trans-Chalcone is an open chain flavonoid that may prevent lung and forestomach cancer.[1]

Application

trans-Chalcone was used in the synthesis of cis and trans diphenyl cyclopropane[2]. It was also used in screening of surface adsorbed species of isobutybenzene and 4-isobutylacetophenone on bulk fosfotungstic Wells-Dawson acid (H6P2W18O62.xH2O)[3].

Biochem/physiol Actions

trans-Chalcone exhibits antifungal activity against Trichophyton rubrum. It is inhibitor of fatty acid synthase[4] and α-amylase[5]. It induces programmed cell death due to reduced mitochondrial transmembrane potential in Arabidopsis thaliana roots[6].

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

In an effort to develop potent antiamoebic agents, we have synthesized chalcones (1-8), amino-5-substituted-(3-phenyl(2-pyrazolinyl))methane-1-thione derivatives (1a-8a) and 2-(5-substituted-3-phenyl-2-pyrazolinyl)-1,3-thiazolino[5,4-b]quinoxaline derivatives (1b-8b) and evaluated for their in vitro antiamoebic activity against HM1:IMSS strain of E. histolytica. All the compounds were characterized by

The alpha-methyl chalcone SD400 is a potent inhibitor of tubulin assembly and possesses potent anticancer activity. Various chalcone analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their cell growth inhibitory properties against the K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line (SD400, IC(50)

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
