An antibacterial and antifungal phenylpropanoid from Carum montanum (Coss. et Dur.) Benth. et Hook.
The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Carum montanum (Coss. et Dur.) Benth. et
Hook. were analysed by GC-FID and GC-MS, and the main component was isolated and
identified as nothoapiole. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of this compound and of
the total oil were investigated against Gram-negative (P. aeruginosa, E. coli), Gram-positive
(E. faecalis, S. aureus, S. epidermitis, S. saprophyticus, S. simulans, S. lugdunensis)
bacteria and on one strain of fungus (C. tropicalis). Copyright© 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
