| ln Vitro |
Porcine pancreatic α-amylase is competitively inhibited by trans-chalcone, with a Ki of 48 μM[2]. In MCF-7 cells, trans-Chalcone (30.23-98.03 μM; 24 hours) causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis[1]. Bcl-2, a protein associated to apoptosis, is expressed less when trans-Chalcone (20-80 μM; 24–48 hours) is applied[1]. In a 24-hour period, trans-Chalcone (58.25 μM; 6) exhibits a stronger induction of CIDEA, a stronger inhibition of Bcl-2, and an induction of APAF1 and BAX. MCF-7 cell viability is inhibited by trans-Chalcone (24 hours) (IC20=30.23 μM; IC50=58.25 μM; IC80=98.03 μM). For the MCF-7 and 3T3 cell lines, trans-Chalcone (48 h) had IC50s of 41.53 μM and 48.41 μM, respectively. There is a noticeable cytotoxic action of trans-Chalcone[1].
trans-Chalcone is a potent fatty acid synthase (FAS) and α-amylase inhibitor. It causes cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The compound has antifungal and anticancer activity. It induces programmed cell death due to reduced mitochondrial transmembrane potential. |
| ln Vivo |
trans-Chalcone is used to prevent lung and forestomach cancer. It induces programmed cell death in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. The compound has been studied for its chemopreventive and anticancer properties.

| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays measure fatty acid synthase and α-amylase inhibition. Receptor binding assays assess positive allosteric modulation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

| Additional Infomation |
Chalcone is a type of chalcone compound with a structure similar to acetophenone, except that one methyl hydrogen atom is replaced by a benzylidene group. It is a plant metabolite belonging to the styrene and chalcone classes. Chalcone has been reported to exist in Alpinia hainanensis, Xanthorrhoea latifolia, and other organisms with relevant data. Chalcone is an aromatic ketone, and the core molecule of the chalcone group is an aromatic ketone.
trans-Chalcone is a potent fatty acid synthase and α-amylase inhibitor and a positive allosteric modulator of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It causes cell cycle arrest and induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells. The compound has antifungal, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. It is a valuable research tool for studying cancer, metabolism, and receptor pharmacology. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
