Pilocarpus riedelianus was studied in order to obtain compounds with activity against fungi and bacteria. The dichloromethane extract, the most active one, was chromatographed yielding hexane and dichloromethane fractions. Six known sesquiterpenes, alpha-calacorene, beta-calacorene, gamma-calacorene, cadalene, sesquichamaenol and 1-hydroxy-1,3,5-bisabolatrien-10-one were identified in the hexane fractions. The ...
