Recent advances and potential pharmacological activities of chalcones and their heterocyclic derivatives-a valuable insight

Abstract

Chalcones, precursors of open chain flavonoids and isoflavonoids present in edible plants, and their derivatives have attracted increasing attention due to numerous potential pharmacological applications. They have displayed a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. Changes in their structure have offered a high degree of diversity that has proven useful for the development of new medicinal agents having improved potency and lesser toxicity. The present review highlights the recently synthesized chalcones and their derivatives possessing important pharmacological activities.
