Since the methanol extract of Lantana lilacina leaves collected in the city of Lavras (MG, Brazil) showed antibacterial properties in a preliminary study, a fractionation process guided by agar diffusion assays with Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus was carried out to purify and identify the active compounds. After solvent partition and several chromatographic steps, [ß-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl]-(3'-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-(4'- O-cafeoyl)-β-D-glycopyranoside, known as acteoside, was isolated. The minimal inhibition concentration and the minimal bactericidal concentration of such substance against A. hydrophila, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were 0.12, 1.00, 1.00 and 0.25 mg/mL, respectively.
