2-Ionone is a carotenoid that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of vitamin A. It is also used as a flavoring and fragrance additive and has been shown to have cancer-preventing properties. 2-Ionone inhibits the NADP-cytochrome P450 reductase, which prevents formation of NADPH, an essential cofactor in cellular respiration and biosynthesis of fatty acids. 2-Ionone also inhibits cell growth in vitro by interacting with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process. The physiological function of 2-Ionone is not well understood, but it has been shown to inhibit steric interactions between DNA molecules. 2-Ionone can be prepared industrially by photolysis or by thermal decomposition of acetophenone.
