2'-Hydroxy-4',6'-dimethoxychalcone
Flavokawain B is a member of the class of chalcones that consists of trans-chalcone substituted by hydroxy group at positions 2 and methoxy groups at positions 4 and 6. Isolated from Piper methysticum and Piper rusbyi, it exhibits antileishmanial, anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic activities. It has a role as a metabolite, an antileishmanial agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, an apoptosis inducer and an antineoplastic agent. It is a member of chalcones, a dimethoxybenzene and a member of phenols. It is functionally related to a trans-chalcone. Flavokawain b is a natural product found in Alpinia rafflesiana, Bistorta officinalis, and other organisms with data available. See also: Piper methysticum root (part of).
