Abstract:
This review outlines the different bioactivities of a variety of chalcones. The cytotoxic, anticancer, chemopreventative and mutagenic properties of a number of chalcones are described followed by an account of various of these unsaturated ketones as antimicrobial agents. The antiviral, antiprotozoal and insecticidal activities of a variety of chalcones are reviewed as well as the enzyme-inhibitory properties and miscellaneous activities of some of these molecules.
