Abstract

An unusual monoterpene glycoside named dissectol A (1) was isolated from the EtOH extract of Incarvillea dissectifoliola, and its structure was determined by 1D and 2D NMR data. The antimicrobial bioassays showed that dissectol A had modest inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis when compared to rifampicin in an agar diffusion assay.
