Article Snippet: 4 , [ ] , To determine bioactive compounds of agarwood ( A. malaccensis ) ethanol extract and its antibacterial and antifungal activities against bacteria ( Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228, S. aureus ATCC 25923, and Propionibacterium acnes ATCC 6919)/fungi ( C. albicans ATCC 10231 and Trichophyton sp. ATCC 18748) species that commonly cause skin infection. , Ethanol extracts of agarwood leaves. Disc diffusion method (Kirby–Bauer test). Antifungal activity. , The maximum inhibitory zone toward S. epidermis and P. acnes was at 20% concentration. The inhibitory zone of C. albicans was classified as intermediate, at 20% concentration. Trichopyiton sp. was classified as resistant at all concentrations used. S. aureus was classified as susceptible at 5% concentration and intermediate at 2.5% concentration. Agarwood leaf ethanol extracts produced nine biologically active compounds. , The ethanol extract from A. malaccensis exhibited antibacterial and antifungal activities. The chemical compounds were flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenoids..
