The structures of these compounds were elucidated with the aid of spectroscopic analyses such as FT-IR, GC-MS, and NMR. MIC assay against the <i>Bacillus</i> bacteria were conducted on the extracts and this gave MIC values ranging from 0.313 to 1.25 mg/mL. Compound <b>2</b> was weakly inhibitory towards the <i>Bacilli</i> strains with MIC values ranging from 0.25–0.50 mg/mL. Wallimarin T <b>(1)</b> was not active towards all four bacteria. Overall, the extracts exhibited weak bactericidal properties whereas compound <b>2</b> was not bactericidal on the tested bacteria. The hexane and chloroform extracts of the plant were found to be inhibitors to the growth of <i>Bacillus megaterium</i>, <i>Bacillus cereus</i>, <i>Bacillus pumilus</i> and <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>.</p> 2018-01-22 12:48:40 Calophyllum wallichianum coumarin anti-bacterial
