Abstract:
A 50% EtOH extract of Eucalyptus globulus leaves yielded eight phloroglucinol--sesquiterpene-coupled constituents, including three novel compounds named macrocarpals, H, I, and J. Some of these compounds possessed antibacterial activity against oral pathogenic microorganisms with MIC values ranging from 0.20 micrograms/mL to 6.25 micrograms/mL. Inhibition of glucosyltransferase activity by these compounds was also noted.
