Abstract: Polygonum aviculare L.was used for the treatment of cutaneous pruritus and jaundice.In current study,antibacterial activities of ten compounds isolated from ethyl acetate extract of P.aviculare were tested.The results showed that these compounds (except for 1,2,9 and 10) showed inhibitory activity against different bacteria with dose-dependent effect.This indicated that P.aviculare and its components can be regarded as a potential source of natural antibacterial agent in the prevention and treatment of microbial infections.

Key words: Polygonum aviculare L., antibacterial activity;myricetin- 3-O-(3′′-O-galloyl)-rhamnopyranoside;inhibition zone
