  • Title: Oligomeric acylphloroglucinols from myrtle (Myrtus communis).
    Author: Appendino G, Bianchi F, Minassi A, Sterner O, Ballero M, Gibbons S.
    Journal: J Nat Prod; 2002 Mar; 65(3):334-8. PubMed ID: 11908974.
    Abstract:
    The dimeric nonprenylated acylphloroglucinol semimyrtucommulone (6) was obtained from the leaves of myrtle (Myrtus communis) as a 2:1 mixture of two rotamers. The known trimeric phloroglucinol myrtucommulone A (1) was also isolated and characterized spectroscopically as a silylated cyclized derivative (5). Myrtucommulone A showed significant antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinically relevant bacteria, while semimyrtucommulone was less active.
