Graveoline, an antimicrobial activ alkaloid from Ruta angustifolia (L.) Pers. and its in vitro antimicrobial combination effects with either erythromycin or vancomycin

Ruta angustifolia (L.) Pers. is a Rutaceous species which contains various anthranilic acid derived alkaloids including the bioactive quinolones. This study is aimed at identifying the antimicrobial active natural quinolones of R. angustifolia and evaluating their potential as synergistic enhancers...
