Dissectol A, an unusual monoterpene glycoside from Incarvillea dissectifoliola

Planta Med. 2003 Jun;69(6):579-82. doi: 10.1055/s-2003-40635.

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.
