M. Weidenborner et Hc. Jha, ANTIFUNGAL SPECTRUM OF FLAVONE AND FLAVANONE TESTED AGAINST 34 DIFFERENT FUNGI, Mycological research, 101, 1997, pp. 733-736
The antifungal activity of flavone and flavanone was tested in three d
ifferent concentrations, 0.5, 2 and 8 x 10(-4) M, against 34 fungi. In
general, flavone was the substance with the higher activity, and coul
d at 2 x 10(-4) M completely inhibit several fungi. No linear relation
ships between the concentration and the antifungal activity could be o
bserved for some fungi. Chaetomium globosum was the only fungus which
was totally inhibited by flavanone at 8 x 10(-4) M. Several fungi did,
however, show a higher inhibition rate at 2 x 10(-4) M.
