Graveoline from Ruta angustifolia (L.) Pers. and its antimicrobial synergistic potential in erythromycin or vancomycin combinations

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 alkaloids of R. angustifolia and evaluating their potential as synergistic enhancers in alkalo...
