  1. a Nobiletin was used as a reference compound. It showed 56% inhibition at 20 nmol/plate
  2. b Compounds showed no antibacterial activity [< 5.0% inhibition at highest concentration] against the S. typhimurium TA98 strain
  3. c Compound showed weak antibacterial activity [54: 23.0% inhibition at 400 nmol/plate] against the S. typhimurium TA98 strain
