Abstract
The phenolic fractions of aerial part of Scrophularia frutescens and S. sambucifolia (Scrophulariaceae) showed a potent antibacterial activity. Ferulic, isovanillic, p-hydroxycinnamic, p-hydroxybenzoic, syringic, caffeic, gentisic and protocatechuic acids were isolated from S. frutescens and ferulic, p-coumaric, vanillic, p-hydroxibenzoic and syringic acids were isolated from S. sambucifolia. Since phenolic acids have been shown in the literature to exert an antibacterial effect, the presence of these compounds in the two plants explains their antibacterial activity.Entities:
