Description

2-Hydroxy-4-benzyloxyacetophenone is a flavonoid and a member of the chalcone family. It has been shown to have radical scavenging activity in vitro and in vivo, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. 2-Hydroxy-4-benzyloxyacetophenone has also been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to their cell walls, preventing them from synthesizing proteins. It has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects through its inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.

2-Hydroxy-4-benzyloxyacetophenone is synthesized by the condensation of 3,5,7,3’,5’ tetramethoxyflavone with 2-(3’,4’ benzyloxyphenyl)propanoic acid. This molecule can be found in plants such as oranges and cranberries.
