Investigation Into The Antimicrobial Properties Of A Dehydrochalcone

Abstract

Chalcones have become a hot topic in recent years. Biological activity of chalcones can be found in a wide range of natural sources. This class of chemical compounds known as Chalcones (sometimes called, -unsaturated ketones) has a wide range of biological actions, including antibacterial and antifungal properties. Numerous studies have been published and chalcones continue to show potential for novel medication development. The Claisen–Schmidt condensation strategy was used to make the chalcone derivatives. UV and IR spectroscopy validated the structure of the produced material. Antimicrobial properties of the chemical were also investigated.
