Abstract

Cinnamylpyrogallol was found to be a greater inhibitor of fungal growth than either cinnamyl alcohol or pyrogallol. Antifungal activity decreased with time owing to oxidation of the compound in solution. Cinnamylphloroglucinol was less active than cinnamylpyrogallol against the 27 species of fungi (including dermatophytes) tested. In addition these substances also were active against two of the four bacterial species tested.
