Anti-inflammatory properties of 3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(5-methylfuran-2-yl) prop-2-en-1-one (L31) in lung epithelial cells and on airway inflammation in a murine model of asthma

Diverse heterocyclic compound’s production involved chalcones. Many studies have proven that chalcone derivative compound possess assorted biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiplatelet, antiulcerative, antimalarial, anticancer and antiviral properties.
