Loganetin is a non-toxic natural product that may be applied in the antibacterial drug development for treating multidrug-resistant Gram negative infections.
Although Loganetin does not possess antibacterial activity of its own, but in combination, it appreciably reduces the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of nalidixic acid (NA) against nalidixic acid resistant (NAREC) and nalidixic acid sensitive (NASEC) strains of Escherichia coli. Loganetin, a very common, inexpensive, and non-toxic natural product may finds its application in the antibacterial drug development for treating multidrug-resistant Gram negative infections[1].
