title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of chalcones as inhibitors of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3.
abstract: Chalcone derivatives of the natural product khellinone were synthesised and screened for bioactivity against the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3. X-ray crystallography was employed to investigate relationships between the structure and function of a selection of the reported chalcones.
