Abstract
Investigation of the bark from Terminalia macroptera led to the isolat ion of two novel esterified triterpenes, identified as 23-galloylarjun olic acid and its beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester. In addition terminolic acid, arjunic acid, arjungenin, arjunglucoside 1, sericic acid and ser icoside were isolated and tested in a number of bioassays (antibacteri al, antifungal and anthelminthic activity as well as haemolytic proper ty).
