Abstract
It was revealed that magnolol and honokiol isolated from the stem bark ofMagnolia obovata, had potent antibacterial activity againstBacillus anthracis. A quantitative analytical method of magnolol and honokiol by HPLC has been established, and the amounts of the two components in the dried stem bark ofM. obovata were 1.94% and 0.44%, respectively.
