Inhibitors of CYP1 enzymes may play vital roles in the prevention of cancer and overcoming chemo-resistance to anticancer drugs. In this letter, we report synthesis of twenty-three pyrrole based heterocyclic chalcones which were screened for inhibition of CYP1 isoforms. Compound 3n potently inhibited CYP1B1 with an IC50 of ∼0.2 μM in Sacchrosomes™ and CYP1B1-expressing live human cells. However, compound
