The invention relates to novel acylphloroglucinols which have strong growth inhibitory effects on multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria, particularly MRSA. Typically the compounds have a terpene substituent, or a terpene-derived substituent. Methods of isolating the compounds from natural sources, and synthetic methods for forming the compounds are also provided.
