The antimicrobial activity of extracts of Geum rivale (Rosaceae) and that of some isolated constituents, on bacteria and fungi, was evaluated. The activity was concentrated in the triterpenes fraction and, for gram and gramÀ bacteria, also in the flavonoids fraction.

✦ Synopsis
Lychnophora salicifolia (Asteraceae), a native Brazilian medicinal plant used in folk medicine against some diseases, revealed the presence of two known caryophyllene derivatives, in a satisfactory yield: lychnopholic acid 1 and acetyl lychnopholic acid 2. These compounds exhibited antifungal activity by the agar diffusion method, and antibacterial activity by the methods of diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). However, compound 2 was more potent than 1, suggesting that the acetyl group is responsible for antimicrobial activity.
