Isolated fractions · EXT-0019-M

Polar fraction from liquid–liquid partitioning. Structural elucidation pending — no formula or structure is claimed.

Bioactivity assays

Antibacterial screening (disk diffusion)

ASY-0019-1

Target: Reference bacterial panel

No inhibition zone recorded

Negative result at tested concentration (demo). No bioactivity is claimed.

No chromatograms or spectra are held for these extracts, so none are drawn. Compound identities, formulas and structures remain unclaimed until characterization is complete.
