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.
