the way to search for novel, natural anti-microbial agents, such as modified α-mangostin. In
the present study, twelve synthetic analogs were obtained through semi-synthetic
modification of α-mangostin by Ritter reaction, reduction by palladium-carbon (Pd-C),
alkylation, and acetylation. The evaluation of the anti-microbial potential of the synthetic
analogs showed higher bactericidal activity than the parent molecule. The anti-microbial …
