Benzylideneacetone (BZA) is a metabolite of gram-negative entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila, and it acts as an enzyme inhibitor against phospholipase A2 (PLA2). PLA2 catalyzes a committed biosynthetic step of eicosanoids, which mediate insect immune reactions to infection by microbial pathogens.

The entomopathogenic bacteria Xenorhabdus nematophila and Photorhabdus temperata subsp. temperata suppress insect immune responses by inhibiting the catalytic activity of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), which results in preventing biosynthesis of immune-mediating eicosanoids. This study identified PLA(2) inhibitors derived from culture broths

Antioxidant activities for a series of hydroxybenzalacetones, OH-BZ, were evaluated by measuring inhibitory potencies of OH-BZ against lipid peroxidation induced by t-BuOOH or gamma-irradiation. Their quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies indicated that the activities are mainly governed by electronic and
