摘要
Preliminary studies of flavonoids have been realised in five native species from Tafi del Valle (Tucuman, Argentina) used in popular medicine. Most of compounds detected were flavonoids mono and dihydroxylated in B ring. Screening for antimicrobial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative microorganisms has been realised with Lippia turbinata, Satureja parvifolia, Sambucus peruviana, Verbena officinalis and Chenopodium graveolens. The total extracts of flavonoids of each plant were tested and four species studied showed antimicrobial activity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
