Two new flavonoids with antimicrobial activity from the roots of Byttneria aspera Colebr. ex Wall (Malvaceae)

Two new flavonoids, 4',5,7-trihydroxy-5'-methoxy-6,8-dimethylisoflavone (1) and 2',5',7-trihydroxy-5-methoxy-6,8-dimethylflavanone (2) together with the known flavonoids 4´,5,7-trihydroxy-3´-methoxy-6.8-dimethylflavone (3), epigallocatechin (4), 4´-O-methylepicatechin (5) and quercetin (6) were isolated from the roots of Byttneria aspera. The structures of these compounds were determined by means of spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-6 were submitted to cytotoxic activity assays against three cancer cell lines including KB, MCF7 and A549, as well as their antimicrobial activity against a panel of clinically significant microorganisms. Compound 6 showed moderate cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 12.7, 56.9 and 17.5 µM against KB, MCF7 and A549. Interestingly, the new compounds 1 and 2 exhibits antimicrobial activity, with compound 1 displaying selective antifungal activity against Candida albicans giving an MIC value of 128 µg/mL, compared to cyclohexamide with 32 µg/mL, while compound 2 shows potent inhibition of the Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis displaying an MIC of 64 µg/mL, compared to streptomycin with 256 µg/mL.
