TLDR
In this paper, a number of flavonoid derivatives were made with side chains ranging from C 6 to C 16 and tested for fungitoxic and bactericidal activities, and maximum activity was usually found for the decane derivative.About:

Antimicrobial properties of tannins
TL;DR: Tannin toxicity for fungi, bacteria and yeasts is reviewed and compared to toxicity of related lower molecular weight phenols and the dependence of toxicity on tannin structure is examined.

Biotechnology of flavonoids and other phenylpropanoid-derived natural products. part i: chemical diversity, impacts on plant biology and human health
Filippos Ververidis,Emmanouil A. Trantas,Emmanouil A. Trantas,Carl J. Douglas,G. Vollmer,Georg Kretzschmar,Nickolas J. Panopoulos,Nickolas J. Panopoulos +7 more
TL;DR: The diversity and biosynthetic origins of phenylpropanoids and particularly of the flavonoid and stilbenoid natural products are discussed, referring on their effects on human health and physiology and their roles as plant defense and antimicrobial compounds.

Flavonoid biocides: Structure/activity relations of flavonoid phytoalexin analogues
Peter E. Laks,M. S. Pruner +1 more
TL;DR: The observed structure/activity relationships suggest that these analogues, and the phytoalexins, function primarily as uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, which appears to be the main factors affecting the antifungal activity of flavonoids.

TL;DR: It is found that ZP-CT-A, a polymeric proanthocyanidin purified from the fruit of this species, noticeably decreased the minimum inhibitory concentrations of β-lactam antibiotics for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Antifungal activity of phenolics against fungi commonly encountered during storage
TL;DR: Benzoic acid derivatives, cinnamic acid derivatives and flavonoids were tested for antifungal activity in agarglucose broth agaìnst five furigal pathogens (Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium digitatum, Sderotinia sderotiorum, Fusarium oxysporum and Altemaria sp.) commonly found during the storage of fruits and vegetables as mentioned in this paper.

A new class of phytoalexins from grapevines.
P. Langcake,R. J. Pryce +1 more
TL;DR: A novel phytoalexins isolated from grapevine leaves are oligomeric forms of the trihydroxy stilbene resveratrol, which co-occurs with these compounds, and their characterization as a resver atrol dimer is described.

Antifungal activity of soybean and chickpea isoflavones and their reduced derivatives
TL;DR: For the first time in a comparative study it is shown that isoflavones and isoflavanones are variable in their activity whereas the is oflavans are moderately active inhibitors of fungal growth.

The antifungal activity of pterocarpans towards Monilinia fructicola
TL;DR: In this paper, the antifungal activity towards Monilinia fructicola of some naturally occurring pterocarpans and a number of related compounds obtained by substitution, degradation and partial synthesis has been examined.
