Naringenin chalcone

Summary

Naringenin chalcone[1] is a common chalconoid (or chalcone, not to be confused with the compound chalcone). It is synthesized from 4-coumaroyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA by chalcone synthase (CHS), a key enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Naringenin chalcone can spontaneously cyclize to naringenin (a flavanone). In plant cells, this process is catalyzed by chalcone isomerase.

About Naringenin chalcone edit

Naringenin chalcone is an intermediate in flavonol biosynthesis, spontaneously metabolizing into naringenin (NAR) through the action of chalcone isomerase. Naringenin chalcone exhibits anti-inflammatory and antiallergic activities.
