Abstract

The CHCl3 extract of the air-dried leaves of Chrysanthemum coronarium afforded ent-kaurane-3β,16β-diol (1). The structure of 1 was determined by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Antimicrobial tests on 1 by the agar cup method indicated that it has low antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis, S. aureus, C. albicans and T. mentagrophytes and is inactive against .F aernginosa and E. coli.
