| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Searching study for antimicrobial natural products were carried out to develop new leads of therapeutic agents for the treatment of ophthalmic infections. The study resulted in the isolation of new antimicrobial meroterpenes and acylphloroglucinols from Hypericaceous plants and new antimicrobial phenylcoumarins from a Calophyllaceous plant. Hypatulin A isolated from Hypericum patulum is a structurally interesting tricyclic meroterpene possessing antimicrobial activity.
