Abstract
The crude chloroform bark extract of Syncarpia glomulifera (Myrtaceae) show s antibacterial and cytotoxic activity. Bioactivity-directed separation led to the isolation of oleanolic acid-3-acetate, ursolic acid-3-acetate and b etulinic acid. The relatively large abundance (10% of the crude extract) an d high degree of activity elf betulinic acid are responsible for the bioact ivity of the crude bark extract.
