Xanthohumol I

Xanthohumol I, a chalkone, is a derivative of Xanthohumol (HY-N1067). Xanthohumol is a Cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor, which inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) wih IC50s of 71.34 μM and 32.67 μM, respectively. The hydroxy compound of Xanthohumol (3-hydroxy-xanthohumol), also shoes inhibitory effect on AChE and BChE with IC50s of 51.25 μM and 63.07 μM[1].
