Toxicity assessments of chalcone and some synthetic chalcone analogues in a zebrafish model [PDF]
[[abstract]]The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo toxicities of some novel synthetic chalcones. Chalcone and four chalcone analogues 1a–d were evaluated using zebrafish embryos following antibody staining to visualize their morphological ...

trans-Chalcone protects male rats against high-fat emulsion-induced pancreatic injury by inhibiting TNF-α and MCP-1 expression [PDF]
Background. High-fat diet (HFD) intake is linked to ectopic fat deposition in the pancreas. It also causes pancreatic inflammatory lesions. trans-Chalcone is a simple chalcone with protective effects against HFD-induced metabolic disorders.

The solubility and stability of heterocyclic chalcones compared with trans-chalcone [PDF]
Heterocyclic chalcones are a recently explored subgroup of chalcones that have sparked interest due to their significant antibacterial and antifungal capabilities. Herein, the structure and solubility of two such compounds, (E)-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-3-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and (E)-3-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, are assessed.

Trans-chalcone increases p53 activity via DNAJB1/HSP40 induction and CRM1 inhibition. [PDF]
Naturally-occurring chalcones and synthetic chalcone analogues have been demonstrated to have many biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial, anti-fungal, and anti-oxidant/anti-cancerous activities. Compared to other chalcones, trans-

Trans-chalcone enhances insulin sensitivity through the miR-34a/SIRT1 pathway [PDF]
Objective(s): Trans-chalcone as the parent member of the chalcone series reduces circulating levels of insulin and glucose. However, the cellular mechanism of these effects is poorly understood.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Fungal Chalcone Synthase and Chalcone Isomerase
By mining fungal genomic information, a noncanonical iterative type I PKS fused with an N-terminal adenylation-thiolation didomain, which catalyzes the formation of naringenin chalcone, was found. Structural prediction and molecular docking analysis indicated that a C-terminal thioesterase domain was involved in the Claisen-type cyclization.
