Abstract
Isolation procedures of two new acylphloroglucinols, myrtucommulone-A and myrtucommulone-B, from Myrtus communis leaves are given. Myrtucommulone-A was highly antibacterial against gram-positive bacteria but was not active against gram negatives. The chemical relation to other acylphloroglucinols and the antibacterial activity of the compounds isolated are discussed.
