Chemistry and Antifungal Activity of Homoisoflavonoids

This review deals with the antifungal profile of a subclass natural products known as homoisoflavonoids. These molecules belong to larger flavonoids class, yet they are less common for presenting an extra carbon in their basic chemical structures. Homoisoflavonoids important bioactive because exhibit promising antimutagenic, antiproliferative, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity. lists principal experimental studies addressing homoisoflavonoid activity aim discussing role these obtaining new agents. The vast majority research consists screenings. It was noted that sappanin-type homoisoflavonoids commonly activity, but overall is still very little known. Studies evaluating mechanisms action needed better understand potential
