Antibiotic resistance is a major global problem and there is a pressing need to develop new
therapeutic agents. Flavonoids are a family of plant-derived compounds with potentially …

Imidazole ring is an important five‐membered aromatic heterocycle widely present in natural
products and synthetic molecules. The unique structural feature of imidazole ring with …

There is a growing body of evidence that flavonoids show antibacterial activity against both
Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The mechanisms of action of phenolic …

Triazole compounds containing three nitrogen atoms in the five-membered aromatic azole
ring are readily able to bind with a variety of enzymes and receptors in biological system via …

Chalcones and their analogs have been an area of great interest in recent years. Numerous
research papers have been published, and chalcones continue to show promise for new …

Chalcones (1, 3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones) are open chain flavonoids that are widely
biosynthesized in plants. They are important for the pigmentation of flowers and, hence, act …

The antibacterial activity of 31 chalcones was tested against bacterial strains, Bacillus
cereus ATCC 11778, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC …

BACKGROUND: Chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of a sample of red propolis
from the state of Alagoas (northeast Brazil) were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass …

Chalcone is a simple naturally occurring α, β-unsaturated ketone with biological importance,
which can also be easily synthesized in laboratories by reaction between two aromatic …

The emergence of drug‐resistant microbes left us with a great need for new antimicrobial
agents. Flavonoids, with their wide range of biological activities, are good candidates in this …
