Product Information

• Name: 2'-Hydroxy-3-nitrochalcone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2'-Hydroxy-3-nitrochalcone is a yellow crystalline solid that has been shown to have an antiviral effect against HIV and herpes simplex virus. The crystal structure of 2'-hydroxy-3-nitrochalcone has been determined using x-ray crystallography. The compound is structurally similar to other antiviral agents, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and penciclovir.2'-Hydroxy-3-nitrochalcone inhibits the viral DNA polymerase by competing with the nucleotide cofactor at the enzyme active site. This leads to a reduction in viral DNA synthesis and an inhibition of cell proliferation.
