Xanthone Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

Xanthone is a compound that has been shown to have a significant cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells and to inhibit the cyclase enzyme. It also inhibits the protein production of mcl-1, which is necessary for the development of cancer cells.

Chemical Properties

off-white powder

Uses

Acts as an inhibitor of human cancer cell lines.

Uses

Xanthone is used predominantly as oxygenated polycyclic aromatic compounds, and as a vasorelaxant. It can be used as a fluorescent agent, as well as an intermediate in organic synthesis and chemical research.

Definition

ChEBI: The parent compound of the xanthone class consisting of xanthene bearing a single oxo substituent at position 9.

Application

Xanthone has antiinflammatory activity and can be used in treating infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, and leprosy. The biological properties of it are shown by its ability to scavenge anion radicals and to act as a fluorescence probe for coumarin derivatives.

Definition

A colorless crystalline organic compound found as a pigment in gentians and other flowers. It is used as an insecticide and in making dyestuffs.

Synthesis Reference(s)

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 37, p. 4204, 1972 DOI: 10.1021/jo00798a059

Purification Methods

It has also been recrystallised from n-hexane three times and sublimed in vacuo. [Saltiel J Am Chem Soc 108 2674 1986]. [Beilstein 17 H 354, 17 I 190, 17 II 378, 17 III/IV 5292, 17/10 V 430.]
