Abstract
A new aromatic geranyl derivative was isolated from the resinous exudate of Heliotropium filifolium. The structure was elucidated by high-resolution s pectroscopic methods as filifolinyl senecionate. The compound has shown ant ibacterial activity against Escherichia coli K-12. After irradiation of a s olution of filifolinyl senecionate with UV at 366 nm, the antibacterial act ivity was enhanced by 100%.
