1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-7-phenyl-3-heptanone is a ketone that is heptan-3-one substituted by a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl group at position 1 and a phenyl group at position 7. Isolated from in Alpinia oxyphylla, it exhibits antineoplastic and inhibitory activities against COX-1, COX-2 and NO synthase. It has a role as a metabolite, a cyclooxygenase 1 inhibitor, a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor, an EC 1.14.13.39 (nitric oxide synthase) inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent. It is a monomethoxybenzene, a member of phenols and a ketone. Yakuchinone-A is a natural product found in Alpinia oxyphylla with data available. Yakuchinone A is a natural product isolated from the fruit of Alpinia oxyphylla, which can induce apoptosis and has anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities[1].
