The bacteriostatic activity of 2,4,2-trihydroxychalcone; 2,4,3-trihydroxychalcone and 2,4,4-trihydroxychalcone, prepared by condensation of 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone and benzaldehyde substituted, against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 was assayed by agar plate method. The three compounds presented important inhibition halos. In order to elucidate structure-activity relationships, the minimal inhibitory concentrations against S. aureus were determined by the broth dilution method and the results obtained were compared to that of 2',4'-dihydroxychalcone. The sequence observed was: MIC 2,4,3-(OH)3 > MIC 2,4-(OH)2 > MIC 2,4,4-(OH)3 > > MIC 2,4,2-(OH)3. These results showed that the introduction of an electron... |

Among other properties, flavonoids present a notable bacteriostatic activity. In this paper, minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavanone (naringenin), 5,7-dihydroxyflavone and 2',4',4- trihydroxychalcone (isoliquitirigenin) against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25 923 were determined and compared to values obtained for other chalcones and flavanones previously investigated. Specific growth rates and MICs were determined by a turbidimetric kinetic method. The observed sequence MICflavanone (inactive) >MIC7-hidroxyflavanone (197.6 µgml-1)>MIC5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavanone (120 µgml-1) showed that the introduction of an electron donating group (-OH) causes an increase in bioactivity. On the other hand, the comparisons... |
