Abstract
Bioassay-guided chromatographic purification of the antitubercular chloroform extract of Pandanus tectorius Soland. var. laevis leaves afforded a new tirucallane-type triterpene, 24,24-dimethyl-5 beta-tirucall-9(11),25-dien-3-one (1), squalene and a mixture of the phytosterols stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol. Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA) showed that 1 inhibited the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv with a MIC of 64 microg/mL, while squalene and the sterol mixture have MICs of 100 and 128 microg/mL, respectively.Entities:
