Abstract

Investigation of the bark from Terminalia macroptera led to the isolation of two novel esterified triterpenes, identified as 23-galloylarjunolic acid (I; R = H) and its .beta.-D-glucopyranosyl ester I (R =.beta.-D-glucopyranosyl). In addn. terminolic acid, arjunic acid, arjungenin, arjunglucoside 1, sericic acid and sericoside were isolated and tested in a no. of bioassays (antibacterial, antifungal and anthelmintic activity as well as hemolytic property).
