Biological Activity

[Description]:

trans-Chalcone, isolated from Aronia melanocarpa skin, is a biphenolic core structure of flavonoids precursor. trans-Chalcone is a potent fatty acid synthase (FAS) and α-amylase inhibitor. trans-Chalcone causes cellcycle arrest and induces apoptosis in the breastcancer cell line MCF-7. trans-Chalcone has antifungal and anticancer activity[1][2][3].

[In Vitro]

trans-Chalcone competitively inhibits porcine pancreatic α-amylase with a Ki of 48 μM[2]. trans-Chalcone (30.23-98.03 μM; 24 hours) induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MCF-7 cells[1]. trans-Chalcone (30.23-98.03 μM; 24 hours) reduces the expression of the apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2 and induces the expression of the CIDEA gene[1]. trans-Chalcone (58.25 μM; 6, 24 hours) has greater inhibition of Bcl-2, induction of APAF1 and BAX, and strong induction of CIDEA in 24 hours[1]. trans-Chalcone (24 hours) inhibits MCF-7 cell viability (IC20=30.23 μM; IC50=58.25 μM; IC80=98.03 μM). trans-Chalcone (48 h) has IC50s of 41.53 μM and 48.41 μM for MCF-7 and 3T3 cell lines, respectively. trans-Chalcone exhibits a pronounced cytotoxicity activity[1]. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Line: MCF-7 cell Concentration: 30.23, 58.25, 98.03 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Induced apoptosis of the breast cancer cell line. Cell Cycle Analysis[1] Cell Line: MCF-7 cell Concentration: 30.23, 58.25, 98.03 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Caused cell cycle arrest in G1. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: MCF-7 cell Concentration: 20, 40, 80 μM Incubation Time: 24, 48 hours Result: Reduced the expression of the apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2 and induced the expression of the CIDEA gene. There was marked degradation of cyclin D1 at 48 h. RT-PCR[1] Cell Line: MCF-7 cell Concentration: 58.25 μM Incubation Time: 6, 24 hours Result: Had greater inhibition of Bcl-2, induction of APAF1 and BAX, and strong induction of CIDEA in 24 hours.
