Studies on the anti bacterial and HPFC activity of a phenyl propanoid glycoside

ABSTRACT

Trans - p -methoxy cinnamic acid is a primary metabolite of Shikimate pathway while acteoside is a natural product of Syringa vulgaris. Both compounds have shown various pharmacological activities. In present paper antimicrobial effect of acteoside and trans - p - methoxy Cinnamic acid was studied and effect on haemolytic plaque forming cells [HPFC] was also evaluated. Significant results were obtained concerning antibacterial activity of trans - p - methoxy cinnamic acid
