A series of naturally occurring and synthetic biflavonoids was evaluated for inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb). Compounds 6, 24, and 25 demonstrated 96, 95, and 87% inhibition, respectively, at a screening concentration of 12.5 μg/mL. The type of linkage and the presence of methoxy- and nitro-substituents in biflavonoids may contribute to the observed inhibitory activity. The results of this study represent the discovery of biflavonoids as a potential new class of antituberculosis agent.

Syntheses of the methyl ether derivatives of 6,6"-biapigenin (4), 6,6"-bisisoflavone (11), 6,6"-bisdihydroflavonol (12) and 5,5"-bisaurone (13) (all new compounds) were done by using 5,5'-linked dimer of 4,6-dimethyl ether of phloroacetophenone (2).The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of their spectral properties.
