Biological Activity

Galangin 3-methyl ether is a naturally occurring flavonoid isolated from Lychnophora markgravii that exhibits potent antibacterial and antifungal activities. It disrupts microbial cell membrane integrity and inhibits essential metabolic pathways, leading to the suppression of bacterial and fungal growth. This compound serves as a valuable tool for investigating plant secondary metabolites and developing natural antimicrobial agents.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
