Antimicrobial Evaluation of Cardol and Cardol-Metal Complexes from the Nut Shell Liquid of <I>Anacardium occidentale</I>
Abstract:Cardol, as one of the major constituents of Cashew Nut Shell Liquids has received little attention in terms of modification and applications. The presence of two hydroxyl groups and an alkyl side chain of 15 carbon length make it a natural compound of interest. The present study is aimed at modification and complexation of cardol, and the antimicrobial investigations of the compound as well as its analogue and complexes. Isolated cardol from cashew nut shell liquid was nitrated, and the compounds were used in … Show more
