HIDE SMILES / InChI
Dibenzoylmethane (DBM), a minor ingredient in licorice, is a calcium chelator that binds calcium through the β-diketone moiety, and it has been found to increase intracellular calcium concentrations in skeletal muscle cells. Intracellular calcium regulates the binding of Nrf2 to the HO-1 enhancer region. Both Nrf2 and HO-1 have been proposed as potential drug targets to prevent or treat liver disease. Thus was suggested DBM could be a lead/candidate for prevention or treatment of liver diseases. In addition, was found, that dibenzoylmethane inhibits mammary tumorigenesis, lymphomas, and leukemias in mice and it can prevent the formation of tumor-inducing DNA adducts.

In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Dibenzoylmethane (DBM) increases HIF-1 alpha protein levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This induction was accompanied with activation of HIF-1, measured by reporter gene assay and increased production of its downstream target, the vascular endothelial growth factor. Mechanistically, HIF-1 alpha was stabilized by DBM at a step prior to ubiquitination.
