Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethyl acetate extract of the roots of Dalea scandens (Miller) R. Clausen var. paucifolia led to the isolation of new flavonoids, 2( S)-5'-(-1"',1"'-dimethylallyl)-8-(3",3"-dimethylallyl)-2',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone, 2(
BACKGROUND
The prenylated flavonoid 2', 4'-dihydroxy-5'-(1'″, 1'″-dimethylallyl)-8-prenylpinocembrin (8PP, formerly 6PP) shows antifungal activity, inhibits rhodamine 6G efflux and reverses fluconazole (FCZ) resistance in azole-resistant Candida albicans overexpressing cdr1, cdr2 and mdr1
The prenylated flavanone 2'-4'-dihidroxy-5'-(1" '-dimethylallyl)-6-prenylpinocembrin) (6PP), isolated from the roots of Dalea elegans, shows antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate mitochondrial toxicity and antioxidant properties of 6PP. Addition of micromolar concentrations
BACKGROUND
The continuing emergence of infections with antifungal resistant Candida strains requires a constant search for new antifungal drugs, with the plant kingdom being an important source of chemical structures.
OBJECTIVE
The present study investigated the antifungal effect of
The antioxidant effect of 8PP, a prenylflavonoid from Dalea elegans on Candida albicans biofilms, was investigated. We previously reported that sensitive (SCa) and resistant C. albicans (RCa) biofilms were strongly inhibited by this compound, in a dose-depending manner (50 μM-100 μM), with a
Two new prenylated flavanones, pazentin A (3',4'-dihydroxy-6,2'-diprenylpinocembrin, 1) and pazentin B [4'-hydroxy-2'-methoxy-5'-(1‴, 1‴-dimethylallyl)-6-prenylpinocembrin, 2] together with two known ones (3 and 4) previously isolated from other Dalea species were obtained from the benzene extract
In previous studies, 2',4'-dihydroxy-5'-(1''',1'''-dimethylallyl)-6-prenylpinocembrin, a prenylated flavonoid isolated from Dalea elegans roots, showed activity against multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, as well as an uncoupling effect on mitochondria and antioxidant
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) represent a global problem on public health, with a growing incidence as human longevity increases. Currently, although there are palliative strategies available for most of these diseases, there is a lack of effective therapies for their cure. Flavonoids are
A new flavonoid (1) was isolated from organic extracts of Dalea versicolor, along with six known phenolic compounds (2-7). The structures of the seven compounds were determined by NMR and HRMS methods. These compounds were evaluated for direct activity against a variety of organisms in vitro,
