3,5-Bis[(2-fluorophenyl)Methylene]-4-piperidinone

3,5-Bis[(2-fluorophenyl)methylene]-4-piperidinone is an analog of curcumin that acts as a kinase inhibitor which mediates anticancer properties.

EF-24 is a IKK inhibitor and curcumin analog. EF-24 is more potent and bioavailable than curcumin, with 10-fold greater potency in cell death induction. It is also more efficacious in anti-cancer screens and less toxic than Cisplatin. EF-24 inhibits HIF-1alpha posttranscriptional activity and induces microtubule stabilization, in contrast to Curcumin. EF-24 up-regulates PTEN expression via inhibition of ubiquitination. EF-24 induces cell death through direct inhibition of IkappaB kinase (IKK), resulting in suppression in NFKB activity.', 'EF-24 is a IKK inhibitor and curcumin analog.

EF-24/(3E,5E)-3,5-bis[(2-fluorophenyl)methylene]-4-piperidinone is a curcuminoid, th at helps to decrease cisplatin-mediated reactive oxygen species in zebrafish. It is highly bioavailable than curcumin and has the ability to target cancer.
