title: Antifungal Compounds fromPiperSpecies.
abstract: This review documents chemical structures and antifungal activities of 68 compounds isolated from 22Piperspecies of the plant family Piperaceae. These compounds include amides, flavonoids, prenylated benzoic acid derivatives, lignans, phenylpropanoids, butenolides, and cyclopentendiones. Some of them may serve as leads for potential pharmaceutical or agricultural fungicide development.
