CAS 1214-47-7: 2′-Hydroxychalcone

1-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one

2'-Hydroxychalcone

2'-Hydroxychalcone: intermediate for flavonoids, antifungal in fish, cytotoxic to fat-laden liver cells, inhibits inflammation markers.

2'-Hydroxychalcone is a naturally occurring phenolic compound, which is typically sourced from various plants known for their rich flavonoid content. This compound is a member of the chalcone class of flavonoids, characterized by a phenyl group attached via an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system. Its mode of action is primarily attributed to its ability to interact with multiple biological pathways, notably exerting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer activities. These effects are a result of its capacity to modulate the activity of key enzymes and signaling molecules within cells. In research settings, 2'-Hydroxychalcone is extensively studied for its potential therapeutic properties. It finds applications in the investigation of pathways related to oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular apoptosis. Additionally, its structural properties are exploited in designing novel compounds with enhanced biological activities. As such, it serves as a valuable tool in biochemical and pharmacological research aiming to develop new therapeutic agents or to elucidate the mechanisms underpinning various physiological and pathological processes.

2'-Hydroxychalcone analytical standard provided with chromatographic purity, to be used as reference material for qualitative determination.
