Leptosperin
Leptosperin (originally but no longer "leptosin") is a bioactive component of Manuka honey. It is named for the genus Leptospermum, the shrubs from which bees harvest nectar to make this type of honey.[1] This bioactive component is the source of antibacterial property of Manuka honey[2] or other Leptospermum species derived honey.[3]
