Abstract
Lantana camara afforded a novel triterpene (22)beta-acetoxylantic acid and the known triterpenes, lantic acid, (22)beta-dimethylacryloyloxyl antanolic acid, a mixture of (22)beta-dimethylacryloyloxy lantanolic a cid and 22 beta-angeloyloxylantanolic acid and lantanolic acid. 22 bet a-Acetoxylantic acid showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococ cus aureus and Salmonella typhi. This compound and (22)beta-dimethylac ryloyloxy lantanolic acid also showed antimutagenic activity. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
