New molecule extracted from the leaves of chestnut tree neutralizes staph bacteria Scientists isolated a molecule, extracted from the leaves of the European chestnut tree, with the power to neutralize dangerous, drug-resistant staph bacteria. Frontiers in Pharmacology published the finding, led by scientists at Emory University. The researchers dubbed the molecule Castaneroxy A, after the genus of the European chestnut, Castanea. The use of chestnut leaves in traditional folk remedies in rural Italy inspired the research. We were able to isolate this molecule, new to science, that occurs only in very tiny quantities in the chestnut leaves, says Cassandra Quave, senior author of the paper and associate professor in Emory s Center for the Study of Human Health and the School of Medicine s Department of Dermatology.
