Most of the flavonoids are considered as constitutive antimicrobial ingredients, especially those belonging to prenylated flavonoids, flavones and isoflavones. In the study, the flavonoid 5,7,4’-trimethoxyflavone was evaluated for its antifungal effects. Four fungal strains were used in the study for activities, Candida krusei – LM 9700, Candida krusei – LM 656, Candida krusei– LM 13 and Candida krusei – LM08. All the microorganism strains were obtained from the Laboratory of Mycology collection. Microdilution method was used for antifungal assay of the flavonoid. The results were also compared with the standard drug, Nistatin (100 UI/mL). The obtained results showed activity fungistatic against Candida krusei strains.
