A new acylated triterpene with antimicrobial activity from the leaves of Rauvolfia vomitoria
2011
A new acylated tritrepene, 3β-hexadecanoyloxy-lup-20(29)-en-21-ol (1), along with seven known compounds, lupeol (2), betulinic acid (3), ursonic acid (4), -sitosterol (5), β-stigmasterol (6), 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-stigmasterol (7), and palmitic acid (8), were isolated from the leaves of Rauvolfia vomitoria (Apocynaceae). Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidence. The new acylated triterpene exhibited interesting antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans (a yeast) with the MIC value 64 μg/mL.
