Z Naturforsch C J Biosci. 2003 Sep-Oct;58(9-10):670-4. doi: 10.1515/znc-2003-9-1013.

Abstract

Geraniin and gallic acid were isolated from the alcohol extract of the aerial parts of Erodium glaucophyllum (Geraniaceae). The identity of the compounds was verified through different physical and spectrometric methods. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of geraniin is presented.
