Title: Examination of growth inhibitory properties of synthetic chalcones for which antibacterial activity was predicted.
Authors: Batovska D, Parushev S, Stamboliyska B, Tsvetkova I, Ninova M, Najdenski H.
Abstract: A large series of chalcones were synthesized and studied against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Chalcones were either unsubstituted in ring A or possessed 4'-chloro or 3',4',5'-trimethoxy groups. Their other ring B was variously substituted. It was found that the anti-staphylococcal activity of chalcones was related to the energy difference between the two highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and HOMO-1). Presence of hydroxyl group in ring B was not a determinant factor for the anti-staphylococcal activity, but the lipophilicity of ring A of the hydroxyl chalcones was of importance.
