Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to describe the isolation, characterization, and antimicrobial activity of isolated compounds from MATERIALS AND METHODS: was evaluated. The compounds were characterized using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. RESULTS: with minimum inhibitory concentration values in the range of 25-1000 µg/mL but no activity was observed against other tested organisms, and erythrodiol showed no antimicrobial activity against any of the tested organisms. CONCLUSION: can be effectively used in traditional medicine.
