Antimicrobial Activity of Diterpenes from Viguiera arenaria against Endodontic Bacteria

Antimicrobial Activity of Diterpenes from Viguiera arenaria against Endodontic Bacteria

Six pimarane-type diterpenes isolated from Viguiera arenaria Baker and two semi-synthetic derivatives were evaluated in vitro against a panel of representative microorganisms responsible for dental root canal infections. The microdilution method was used for the determination of the minimum inhibito...
