The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 3-(4'-geranyloxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-trans propenoic acid, active principle isolated from Acronychia baueri Schott, and its ester derivatives on biofilm formation by two important oral pathogens, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus mutans. The parent

Different esters of 3-(4'-geranyloxy-3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-trans propenoic acid (1), an anti-inflammatory principle of Acronychia baueri Schott (Rutaceae), were synthesized. Their topical anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using the Croton oil ear test in mice as a model of acute inflammation. The activity of
