“…We used iodine, TCA and AV in our study to investigate the antimicrobial action against 10 selected pathogens. Iodine is a iodophor, which is most stable in form of “smart” triiodide species [ 34 , 36 , 41 , 42 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 ]. TCA, its derivatives and related AV bioconstituents, especially cinnamic acid, aloin, acemannan, aloe-emodin, pyrogallol, hesperidine, aloesin, 10-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-aloenin and rhein increased biological activities due to their synergistic mechanisms [ 36 , 39 , 41 , 42 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 98 , 99 ].…”
