Abstract
Syringaldehyde readily reacted in the horse-radish peroxidase (HRPOD) system. The ethyl acetate extract of the reaction mixture showed a mar ked antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. After repeated column chromatography three potential antimicrobial compounds were obt ained from the extract. The structural elucidation of active compounds was achieved by a combination of spectroscopic techniques and chemica l modification.
