摘要: A group of eight new long-chain aliphatic compounds recently isolated from the avocado and some derivatives thereof were tested for antibacterial activity on 13 different species bacteria a yeast. Some these inhibited growth microorganisms. 1,2,4-Trihydroxy-n-hepadeca-16-en was found to be most active, inhibiting certain gram-positive at 4 μg/ml.
