Abstract
Four labdane-type diterpenic acids and syringaldehyde were isolated an d identified from Brazilian propolis. All the compounds exhibit antiba cterial activity. The diterpenes, found for the first time in propolis , are typical for some Araucaria species and thus indicate a possible plant source of Brazilian propolis.
