The compounds were characterized using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques.<h4>Results</h4>Trifloculoside, lupeol, and erythrodiol are being reported for the first Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences373-379https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC6791082biostudies-literatureIsolation and Characterization of Four Terpenoidal Compounds with Potential Antimicrobial Activity from <i>Tarconanthus camphorantus</i> L.
