Description

Dibenzylideneacetone (DBA) is a pro-apoptotic protein that binds to DNA and targets the mitochondria. It has been shown to have potent antitumor activity, as well as other biological properties. DBA binds to the cytosolic calcium ion with a coordination geometry of square planar, which may be due to its similarity to sodium. This compound also interacts with leishmania parasites and mitochondrial membrane potential.
