Isolation and antibacterial activity of acylphloroglucinols from Myrtus communis.
Isolation procedures of two new acylphloroglucinols, myrtucommulone-A and myrtucommulone-B, from Myrtus communis leaves are given. Myrtucommulone-A was highly antibacterial against gram-positive bacteria but was not active against gram negatives. The chemical relation to other acylphloroglucinols and the antibacterial activity of the compounds isolated are discussed.
متن کاملComparative Study of Essential Oils Extracted from Algerian Myrtus communis L. Leaves Using Microwaves and Hydrodistillation
Two different extraction methods were used for a comparative study of algerian myrtle leaf essential oils: solvent-free-microwave-extraction (SFME) and conventional hydrodistillation (HD). Essential oils analyzed by GC and GC-MS presented 51 components constituting 97.71 and 97.39% of the total oils, respectively. Solvent-Free-Microwave-Extract Essential oils SFME-EO were richer in oxygenated c...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antinociceptive activity of the methanol extract of Ricinus communis leaves (MRCL). METHODS Antinociceptive activity was evaluated using acetic acid induced writhing test, formalin induced paw licking and tail immersion method in mice at doses of 100, 125 and 150 mg/kg bw. RESULTS The results indicated that MRCL exhibited considerable antinociceptive activity again...
متن کاملStudy of essential oil, phenol and flavonoid compounds of Myrtus communis L. in three forest habitats of Zagros
The medicinal shrub, scientifically named Myrtus communis L. is one of the valuable wild medicinal shrubs. The aim of this study was to investigate the essential oil, phenol and flavonoid compositions of this plant in three forest habitats of Zagros. For this purpose, leaf samples were prepared from 20 stands with a distance of at least 15 meters during the flowering season. Then, essential oil...
