Naringenin chalcone^[1] is a common chalconoid (or chalcone, not to be confused with the compound chalcone). It is synthesized from 4-coumaroyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA by chalcone synthase (CHS), a key enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Naringenin chalcone can spontaneously cyclize to naringenin (a flavanone). In plant cells, this process is catalyzed by chalcone isomerase.

About Naringenin chalcone[edit]

Naringenin chalcone is an intermediate in flavonol biosynthesis, spontaneously metabolizing into naringenin (NAR) through the action of chalcone isomerase. Naringenin chalcone exhibits anti-inflammatory and antiallergic activities.
