Abstract
Fourteen novel C-prenylated and O-allylated 1,3-diarylpropenones (chalcones) were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction of C-prenylated/O-allylated acetophenones with appropriate aldehydes; twelve of these model chalcones were screened in an assay based on the confrontation of invasive human MCF-7/6 mammary carcinoma cells with fragments of normal embryonic chick heart in vitro. Out of the twelve chalcones tested, three were found to exhibit potent anti-invasive activity. Some of these chalcones and their precursor acetophenones were also tested for inhibition of initiation of lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes; a prenylated acetophenone carrying two methoxy groups and two free phenolic hydroxy functions was found to be a potential antioxidant.Entities:
