Isolation and Characterization of Four Terpenoidal Compounds with Potential Antimicrobial Activity from Tarconanthus camphorantus L. (Asteraceae).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of this study is to describe the isolation, characterization, and antimicrobial activity of isolated compounds from Tarconanthus camphorantus.

Materials and methods

Bioactive compounds such as trifloculoside, parthenolide (sesquiterpene lactones), lupeol, and erythrodiol (pentacyclic triterpens) were isolated from n-hexane extract of T. camphoratus, and their antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Mycobacterium smegmatis was evaluated. The compounds were characterized using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques.

Results

Trifloculoside, lupeol, and erythrodiol are being reported for the first
