Antibacterial Activity of Chalcone and Dihydrochalcone Compounds from Uvaria chamae Roots against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria

Abstract: This study presents antimicrobial properties of Uvaria chamae roots, commonly used for the treatment of various infections in south Benin. Their constituents were extracted and then fractionated in order to isolate the active ingredients. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed against several multidrug-resistant bacteria using the Mueller Hilton well agar diffusion method. Results showed that ethanol extracts were highly active against Gram-positive cocci. This activity was more extensive than that … Show more

“…The compounds exhibited 100% growth inhibition ( Singh et al, 2018 ). In another study, three chalcones, diuvaretin, uvaretin, and isouvaretin, were investigated on their antibacterial activity, and the culture inhibition was only observed for Gram-positive germs ( Koudokpon et al, 2018 ). A series of ten chalcones and five new dihydrochromane–chalcone hybrids (189–203) were synthesized, and their antifungal activity was evaluated in vitro , and only two compounds had similar antifungal activity to that of the positive control ( Mellado et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Pharmacological Activities of Chalcones: The biological effects of chalcones were found to be dependent on the presence, the number and position of functional groups such as methoxy, glycosides, hydroxyl, halogens in both A and B rings 75 . They present a broad spectrum of biological activities such as antifungal 76 , antifilarial, larvicidal, anticonvulsant 66 , anticancer 77,78 , antiinflammatory 79 , neuroprotective 79 , antimalarial 80 , antibacterial 81 , antilipidemic 82 , antihyperglycemic 82 , antiviral 83 , antimycobacterial 84 , antiprotozoal (antileishmanial and antitrypanosoma) 85 , antiangiogenic 86 , antiplatelet 87 , anti-HIV 88 and Two chalconoids from the desert plant Pulicaria incisa prevented cell death by inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) 89 . The chalcones showed selective, reversible and potent MAO-B inhibition compared to MAO-A.…”
