Abstract
Eight compounds viz., β -amyrin (1), β -amyrin acetate (2), (+) – syringaresinol (3), ent-pimara- 8 (14), 15-dien-19-oic acid (4), pluviatilol (5), β-sitosterol (6), β -sitosterol 3-O-β-D – glucopyranoside (7), and apigenin 7-O- β -D-glucoside (8), were isolated for the first time from Pluchea wallichiana DC. and their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic studies. All the isolated compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity.
