Citrus fruits are a good source of bioactive compounds with numerous beneficial biological activities. In the present study, fruits of the unexplored Miaray mandarin were used for the isolation of 10 bioactive compounds. Dried peels were sequentially extracted with hexane and chloroform in a Soxhlet-type apparatus for 8 h. The extracts were concentrated under vacuum and separated by flash chromatography to obtain nine polymethoxyflavones and a limonoid. The purity of each compound was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the compounds were identified by spectral analysis using MALDI-TOF-MS and NMR. The isolated compounds were identified as 5-hydroxy-3,7,3鈥?4鈥?tetramethoxyflavone, 5,6,7,8,4鈥?pentamethoxyflavone (tangeretin), 3,5,6,7,8,3鈥?4鈥?heptamethoxyflavone, 5,6,7,8,3鈥?4鈥?hexamethoxyflavone (nobiletin), 3,5,7,8,3鈥?4鈥?hexamethoxyflavone, 3,5,7,3鈥?4鈥?pentamethoxyflavone (pentamethylquercetin), 5,7,4鈥?trimethoxyflavone, 5,7,8,4鈥?tetramethoxyflavone, 5,7,8,3鈥?4鈥?pentamethoxyflavone, and limonin. These compounds were further tested for their ability to inhibit cell鈥揷ell signaling and biofilm formation in Vibrio harveyi. Among the evaluated polymethoxyflavones, 3,5,6,7,8,3鈥?4鈥?heptamethoxyflavone and 3,5,7,8,3鈥?4鈥?hexamethoxyflavone inhibited autoinducer-mediated cell鈥揷ell signaling and biofilm formation. These results suggest that Miaray mandarin fruits are a good source of polymethoxyflavones. This is the first report on the isolation of bioactive compounds from Miaray mandarin and evaluation of their biofilm inhibitory activity as well as isolation of pentamethylquercetin from the Citrus genus.
