A 50% EtOH extract of Eucalyptus globulus leaves yielded eight phloroglucinol--sesquiterpene-coupled constituents, including three novel compounds named macrocarpals, H, I, and J. Some of these compounds possessed antibacterial activity against oral pathogenic microorganisms with MIC values ranging from 0.20 micrograms/mL to 6.25 micrograms/mL. Inhibition of glucosyltransferase activity by these compounds was also noted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
