Abstract

Alcoholic fraction of Maclura pomifera fruit extract showed interesting antimicrobial activity when tested in vitro using an agar dilution streak method. [6] Osajin and Pomiferin, two isoflavones previously isolated from this plant, are found to be responsible for the antimicrobial activity of the extract of its fruits.
