Epidemiological studies highlight the importance of fruits and vegetables for health; however, drug-resistant bacteria are becoming a significant concern, leading to increased mortality.
A flavonoid called Catechin-3-o-rhamnoside was isolated from Lannea kerstingii using dry vacuum liquid chromatography and characterized with various NMR techniques.
The compound demonstrated strong antimicrobial activity against several resistant bacteria and fungi, along with high antioxidant activity, suggesting its potential as a natural remedy for drug-resistant infections.
