Abstract
Psila boliviensis (Wedd.) Cabr. yielded a new phenylpropanoid, named methyl psilalate. The structure
was established by means of standard spectroscopic techniques. The microbiological
evaluation of the compound revealed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and
Gram-negative bacteria.
