✦ Synopsis

An ethanol extract of the leaves of Piper aduncum demonstrated good antimicrobial activity. Bioassay-directed fractionation of this extract led to the isolation of 4-methoxy-3,5-bis(3Ј-methylbenzoic acid) 1, 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-chalcone 2, nervogenic acid 3 and 2,2-dimethoxy-8-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-2H-chromene-6-carboxylic acid 4. These compounds showed considerable in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activity.
