Anaerobic growth-inhibiting and acaricidal activities of 2'-hydroxy-5'-methoxyacetophenone derived from Cyanachum paniculatum oil and its derivatives against five intestinal bacteria (Bifidobacterium bifidum, B. longum, Clostridium pefringens, Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus casei) and Haemaphysalis longicornis were examined. In the packet test against the larvae of H. longicornis, none of the C. paniculatum oil exhibited acaricidal activity, while the C. paniculatum oil showed only antimicrobial activity against five intestinal bacteria in the disc diffusion method. Based on the inhibition zones and MIC values, 2',4'- dimethoxyacetophenone, 2',5'-dimethoxyacetophenone, 2'-hydroxy4'-methoxyacetophenone, 2'-hydroxy-5'-methoxyacetophenone, 2'-methoxyacetophenone, and 4'-methoxyacetophenone, containing a methyl group on the acetophenone skeleton, possessed growthinhibiting activities against C. perfringens and E. coli. However, acetophenone, 2'-hydroxyacetophenone, 4'-hydroxyacetophenone, 2',4'-hydroxyacetophenone and 2',5'-hydroxyacetophenone, which contained a hydroxyl group on the acetophenone skeleton, had no growth-inhibiting activity against intestinal bacteria. These results indicated that 2'-hydroxy-5'-methoxyacetophenone and its derivatives could potentially be developed as natural antimicrobial agents to specific control of C. perfringens and E. coli.
