“…The compounds were divided as chalcones 1-28, with the 1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-one framework, and chalcone analogues 29-41, known as cinnamylideneacetophenones, which hold two double bonds linking the A and B rings. In the first set of compounds (1-28), one is unsubstituted (1), four are hydroxylated (2-5), ten are hydroxylated and methoxylated (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15), two are only methoxylated (16,17), two display methyl substituents (18,19), two display nitro groups (20,21) and seven possess chloro substituents (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). Among the chalcone analogues (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41), one is unsubstituted (29), eleven present a single substitution, including methyl (30,36), methoxy (31,37), chloro (32), fluoro (33), bromo (34), nitro (35,38,39) and hydroxy…”
