Flavonoids with antimicrobial activity from the stem bark ofCommiphora pedunculata(Kotschy & Peyr.) Engl.

The first reported investigation into the phytochemical constituents of Commiphora pedunculata led to the isolation of two flavonoids: kaempferol and dihydrokaempferol from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of the methanol extract of the stem bark of the plant. The structures of these compounds were characterised by comparing their spectral data including 1D and 2D NMR with those reported in the literature. The two compounds were active against...
