Abstract
A series of anacardic acids possessing different side-chain lengths we re synthesized, and their antimicrobial activity was tested. In the ca se against Staphylococcus aureus, the anacardic acid having the C-10 a lkyl side chain was most active, while against Propionibacterium acnes , Streptococcus mutans, and Brevibacterium ammoniagenes, the anacardic acid possessing the C-12 alkyl side chain was most effective.
