Biological activities choleretic

Aldot condensations between a ketone acting as methylene compound and an aldehyde are termed C laiscn-Schmidt condensations [9]. Therefore. Claisen-Schmidt condensations between acetophenone and bcn/aldchyde derivatives allow u.p-unsaturated ketones called chalconcs (Figure 14) 1110, 182, 256-258]. Chalcones are flavonoids of numerous applications as pesticides, phoioproiector in plastics, solar creams, food additives and many biological activities [Pg.98]

Apart from the biological activities of caffeine, those of chlorogenic acid (which is present in substantial quantities in coffee) should not he ignored, as chlorogenic acid is reported to have stimulant, diuretic, and choleretic properties (see artichoke and honeysuckle)-, it also has allergenic properties (morton 3).
