terpenoid and might be having properties
similar to that of other terpenoids. Though we have not conducted
any study that could prove the mechanism of antibacterial action of
this compound; from the above findings and available reference, we
propose that this compound also might be interacting with
cytoplasmic membrane of bacterial cells and destroying it.
Hydrophobic nature of the compound may be helping its
interaction with the lipid bilayer of the membrane.
