Abstract:
A clerodane type diterpene, nasimalun A was isolated
from a dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Croton
oblongifolius Roxb. Nasimalun A showed moderate
cytotoxicity toward MOLT- 3 cell line with IC50 value of 26.44
µg/mL. Furthermore, nasimalun A showed minimum inhibitory
concentration (MIC) of 50, 12.5, and100 μg/mL for Bacillus
cereus and both Staphylococcus aureus, and
Staphylococcus epidermidis respectively.
