2′,4′-Dihydroxychalcone is a natural flavonoid present in various plant sources, including chamomile, licorice, and ginger. This polyphenolic compound has garnered attention for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, it has been investigated for its anti-cancer potential and its ability to inhibit the growth of specific bacterial strains. While the precise mechanism of action for 2′,4′-dihydroxychalcone remains partially understood, studies have proposed that it may function as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent by impeding the production of inflammatory mediators, including nitric oxide and prostaglandins. Moreover, it may induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells, thus exhibiting anti-cancer effects. Furthermore, 2′,4′-dihydroxychalcone may hinder bacterial growth by interfering with their cell wall synthesis.
