| Targets |
The primary target of trans-Benzylideneacetone is phospholipase A2 (PLA2), for which it acts as an enzyme inhibitor. PLA2 is involved in the release of arachidonic acid and subsequent production of inflammatory mediators. The compound also targets cancer cells, demonstrating cytotoxicity against various human cell lines including K562, KB, KB-VCR, and A549. As an immunosuppressant, it may target immune cell pathways. These targets make it relevant for inflammation, immunology, and cancer research.

Benzylideneacetone (trans-Benzylideneacetone; 0.005, 0.05, 0.5, 5, 50, 500, 5000 μM) prevents S. exigua larval hemocytes from propagating their hemocytes. Bacillus thuringiensis exhibits increased virulence against Spodoptera exigua when exposed to benzolidene acetone [1].
In vitro, trans-Benzylideneacetone demonstrates PLA2 inhibitory activity. It exhibits cell growth inhibitory activity against the K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line with an IC50 of 17000.0 nM. The compound shows cytotoxicity against various human cell lines, including KB, KB-VCR, and A549. As an immunosuppressant, it modulates immune responses in cell-based assays. These in vitro activities support its use in cancer, inflammation, and immunology research. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, trans-Benzylideneacetone has potential applications as an immunosuppressant based on its in vitro PLA2 inhibitory and immunosuppressive activities. Its cytotoxicity against cancer cells suggests potential anticancer applications. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited. The compound is a bacterial metabolite and is used in research on inflammation, immunity, and cancer. Further studies are needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential in animal models.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of trans-Benzylideneacetone have not been extensively characterized. As a small, lipophilic molecule, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and reasonable tissue distribution. The compound is a bacterial metabolite and likely undergoes hepatic metabolism through oxidation and conjugation, with elimination via biliary and renal excretion. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, Cmax, and AUC require further investigation.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for trans-Benzylideneacetone are limited, as the compound is a research tool. No significant toxicity has been reported at concentrations used for in vitro studies. As a bacterial metabolite, it may have a reasonable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicological studies have not been conducted. As with all research chemicals, appropriate safety precautions should be taken during handling, and the compound should be used only for research purposes.

*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.
