Insights into the molecular properties underlying antibacterial activity of prenylated (iso)flavonoids against MRSA

Abstract High resistance towards traditional antibiotics has urged the development of new, natural therapeutics against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Prenylated (iso)flavonoids, present mainly in the Fabaceae, can serve as promising candidates. Herein, the anti-MRSA properties...
