Popis: The synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of formononetin analogues is hereby reported. Formononetin and its analogue 11E showed 88% and 95% growth inhibition, respectively, against the H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pharmacophore modeling studies indicated that the presence of a hydroxyl group in formononetin and its analogues, is crucial for maintaining activity.
