Naringenin chalcone


Naringenin chalcone is a common chalconoid. It is synthesized from 4-coumaroyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA by chalcone synthase, a key enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Naringenin chalcone can spontaneously cyclize to naringenin. In plant cells, this process is catalyzed by chalcone isomerase.
