Broad spectrum antiinfective potential of xanthohumol from hop (Humulus lupulus L.) in comparison with activities of other hop constituents and xanthohumol metabolites

Abstract: This review summarizes the capacity of xanthohumol (XN) in comparison with additional hop constituents and metabolites to act as an antiinfective agent against microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and malarial protozoa. XN was shown to inhibit the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans. Antiviral activity was demonstrated against bovine viral diarrhea virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 and human immunodeficiency virus 1. Inhibition of two Trich… Show more

“…The preservative properties of hops have been investigated for many years, and despite some reports on the antibacterial activity of hops oil, the bitter acids seem to be the main active compounds. As stated in the literature [10], the hops bitter acids inhibit mainly Gram-positive bacteria, including some species of Bacillus, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, Mycobacterium and Streptomycetes, whereas yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Escherichia coli are not affected. The mechanism of the lipophilic region of the cell membrane represents the target site for the antibacterial action of hops bitter resins.…”

“…Flavonoidy mají širokou antimikrobiální aktivitu, byl potvrzen antibiotický účinek xanthohumolu proti mnoha bakteriím, virům, plísním a prvokům (Gerhauser, 2005b). Bylo zjištěno, že xanthohumol inhibuje růst grampozitivních bakterií Staphylococcus aureus a Streptococcus mutans.…”

“…Bylo zjištěno, že xanthohumol inhibuje růst grampozitivních bakterií Staphylococcus aureus a Streptococcus mutans. Staphylococcus aureus je zodpovědný za vznik kožních zánětů a je schopen vyvolávat sepsi, dále může způsobit syndrom toxického šoku a zapříčinit vznik nekrotizující pneumonie (Gerhauser, 2005b). Bakterie Streptococcus mutants je mimo jiné součástí plaku na povrchu zubu a hraje významnou roli při vzniku a rozvoji zubního kazu (Gerhauser, 2005b).…”

“…Xanthohumol (XN), the most abundant flavonoid in the hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.), has been found at a concentration of up to 0.96 mg/l in beer, and it is used as a preservative and to add bitterness and flavor to the drink. 59 XN is a prenylated chalcone (3'-[3,3-dimethyl allyl]-2',4',4-trihydroxy-6'-methoxychalcone) with several biological properties, including anti-human immunodeficiency virus, 60 antiobesity, and anti-infective 61 activities. Moreover, XN shows a potential role in the prevention of bonedestructive diseases.…”
