Ams. Silva et al., GROWTH-CONTROL OF DIFFERENT FUSARIUM SPECIES BY SELECTED FLAVONES ANDFLAVONOID MIXTURES, Mycological research, 102, 1998, pp. 638-640
The antifungal activity of five substituted flavones and their mixture
s with unsubstituted flavone or a flavanone was tested on malt extract
agar against five Fusarium spp. 4'-Methylflavone and 2',6'-dichlorofl
avone showed the highest activity while 4'-benzyloxyflavone caused the
lowest inhibition of all test substances. A significant increase in t
he antifungal effect of the substituted flavones could be observed if
mixtures in combination with the unsubstituted flavone or flavanone we
re used. Some aspects of structure-activity relationships are discusse
