tlooto Summary

The bioassay-guided purification of the organic crude extract resulted in the isolation and identification of chrysophanol (1,8-dihydroxy-3-methylanthracenedione), as the metabolite responsible for the antimicrobial activity.

Abstract

Abstract. The methanolic extract of the root of Colubrina greggii S. Watson showed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis andStaphylococcus aureus. The bioassay-guided purification of the organic crude extract resulted in the isolation and identification ofchrysophanol (1,8-dihydroxy-3-methylanthracenedione), as the metabolite responsible for the antimicrobial activity.Resumen.
