Abstract

Three terpenes-caryophyllene-4,5-oxide, a-amyrin and b-amyrin were isolated from the petroleum ether extract of Atylosia scarabaeoides. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by a series of 1D and 2D NMR and MS analyses. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of caryophyllene-4,5-oxide was found to be 50-200 mg/ml. Key words: Atylosia scarabaeoides; Papilionaceae; Caryophyllene-4,5-oxide; Chemotaxonomy; Antimicrobial Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci.
