| dc.description.abstract | The oil extracted from the seeds of Vernonia galamensis ssp. nairobensis was reacted with
1,6-diaminohexane and 1,8-diaminooctane using a 1:3 molar ratio of vernonia oil to amine
to give the corresponding vernolamides. Varied temperatures and solvents were applied. The
vernolamides exhibited antibacterial activity against gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) and on
gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. The vernolamides did not show any antifungal
activity | en |
