Abstract

The antifungal activity of five substituted flavones and their mixtures with unsubstituted flavone or a flavanone was tested on malt extract agar against five Fusarium spp. 4′-Methylflavone and 2′,6′-dichloroflavone showed the highest activity while 4′-benzyloxyflavone caused the lowest inhibition of all test substances. A significant increase in the antifungal effect of the substituted flavones could be observed if mixtures in combination with the unsubstituted flavone or flavanone were used. Some aspects of structure–activity relationships are discussed.
