The chloroform extract of Pouzolzia indica (Urticaceae) has afforded a prenylated isoflavone, 5-methoxy-4-hydroxy-2, 2""-dimethylpyrano (3"",3"",7,8) isoflavone1, which is characterized by spectral (IR, MS, 1HMR and 13CNMR) studies. The compound exhibited potent antimicrobial and antifungal activities. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and cytotoxic activity (LC50 value) of the compound were found to be 32 μg ml-1 against Escherichia coli and 24.92 μg ml-1 against brine shrimp nauplii, respectively."
