Resistance modulatory activities of natural products on traditional antibiotics have gained scientific interest in recent years. This is aimed at maximizing antimicrobial potency with major strides curbing microbial resistance and leading to potential drug discovery. The activity vernolide, a compound isolated from Vernonia colorata was investigated following its forklore use as antibiotic. Vernolide the leaves identity confirmed by appearance, melting point, 1H 13C NMR well UV-Vis IR...
