“…Various curcumin analogues have been synthesized to overcome the poor metabolic property. These compounds have been attracting much more attention, not only due to their intriguing biological activities such as cyto-toxicity [11], antimycotic [12], antitumor [13,14], antibacterial [15,16], anti-inflammatory [17], and antileishmaniatic activities [18], but also as important precursors for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazolines. Generally, these compounds are prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation from aromatic aldehydes and ketons [19].…”
