2',4,4',6'-Tetramethoxychalcone is a bioactive molecule exhibiting multiple pharmacological and biological activities. It inhibits the production of Interleukin-1-beta from human peripheral blood monocytes when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with an IC50 value of 4600.0 nM. Additionally, it inhibits LPS-induced nitric oxide production in mouse RAW264.7 cells, with an IC50 of 15200.0 nM, and displays cytotoxicity against these cells, achieving 100.0% activity at 15.20 µM as assessed by an MTT assay.
Moreover, 2',4,4',6'-Tetramethoxychalcone has been shown to deter feeding behavior in Spodoptera litura, with a potent median effective dose (ED50) of 6.28 and 5.2 x 10^-7 mol/cm^2 in a Choice Leaf-Disk Bioassay using fresh sweet potato leaves. It also exhibits cytotoxic effects on human cell lines including HeLa, A549, and HepG2, with IC50 values of 19600.0 nM, 46600.0 nM, and 13500.0 nM, respectively, after 72 hours as measured by the MTT assay.
In terms of antiinvasive activity, 2',4,4',6'-Tetramethoxychalcone inhibits the progressive occupation of chicken pre-cultured heart tissue fragments by human MCF7/6 cells with a minimum concentration (Cmin) of 10.0 µmol/L as determined by the chick heart invasion assay over an 8-day period.
Furthermore, 2',4,4',6'-Tetramethoxychalcone shows cytotoxicity across a range of human cell lines, including HuH7, Caco2, MDA-MB-231, HCT116, PC3, NCI-H727, HaCaT, and fibroblasts. At a concentration of 50 µM after 48 hours, cell survival percentages vary from 14.0% to 62.0% relative to control, measured by the Hoechst 33342 staining assay, underscoring its potential as a broad-spectrum cytotoxic agent..
