Endiandric Acid C
Endiandric acid C, isolated from the tree '' Endiandra introrsa'', is a well characterized chemical compound. Endiadric acid C is reported to have better antibiotic activity than ampicillin. This genus of trees is in the family Lauraceae. These trees are found in the north-eastern Australian rainforests and other tropical and subtropical regions. However, they are also found in southern Canada and in Chile. Endiandric acid C is also isolated from the species ''E. xanthocarpa''. Endiandric acids are also found in ''Beilschmiedia'' trees, which were categorized under the genus ''Endiandra'', but moved to their own genus as they found in cold, high latitude areas, and even in New Zealand. Other endiandric acids are found in ''B. oligandra'' and ''B. anacardioides'', which are found in the Western Province of Cameroon. Bioactivity This compound has the best antibacterial activity of Endiandrianic acid A-G compounds. Endiandric acid C was tested towards five strains of bacteria, w ...
