Abstract:
In order to evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemic effect of synthetic chalcones and some analogues, nineteen compounds with different substituents in both rings were synthesized and hypolipidemic activities were measured in vivo using Triton WR1339 acute and hypercaloric chronic assays. 4',4-dichlorochalcone, 3',4',4-trichlorochalcone, and 4'-chlorochalcone gave an excellent decrease in serum total cholesterol and triglycerides in the acute assay. These compounds also showed significant anti-lipidemic activity in the chronic assay.
