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 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.
