The in-Silico analysis showed that this compound has the potential to inhibit the binding pocket of S. aureus TyrRS (1JII) with docking score of − 8.67 Kcal mole− 1. The results obtained from invitro experiments were encouraging as at 1000 μg mL− 1 the compound showed 58.8% inhibition against S. aureus and 28% inhibition against P. vulgaris. Conclusions The pure compound with formula C14H14O5 and exact mass of 262 exhibited antibacterial potential both insilico and invitro against both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. The compound was more active against S. aureus in comparison to P. vulgaris. From the obtained results it is concluded that this compound can be used as potent antibacterial candidate but further studies will be needed prior to its use as antibiotic.Saeed Ullah KhattakGhosia LutfullahZafar IqbalJamshaid AhmadIrshad Ur RehmanYanbin ShiSaima IkramBMCarticleBioactive metaboliteMolecular dockingNMRLCMSIn-silicoStaphylococcus aureusMicrobiologyQR1-502ENBMC Microbiology, Vol 21, Iss 1, Pp 1-9 (2021) |
