Globimetula braunii  is a hemi-parasitic plant used in African ethnomedicine for the management of microbial infections, rheumatic pain and tumors amongst others. We report the isolation and characterization of eight compounds with their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The air-dried powdered leaf was macerated in EtOH/H 2 0 (4:1). The extract was solvent-partitioned into  n -hexane, EtOAc,  n -BuOH and aqueous fractions. The fractions were screened for their antioxidant properties, using DPPH, FRAP, TAC and FIC assays. Antimicrobial analysis was performed using the micro-broth dilution method. The active EtOAc fraction was purified for its putative compounds on a repeated silica gel column chromatography monitored with TLC-bioautography. The isolated compounds were characterized using spectroscopic methods of UV, FT-IR, NMR and MS. Eight compounds ( 1 – 8 ) were isolated and characterized as 13,27-cycloursane ( 1 ), phyllanthone ( 2 ), globraunone ( 3 ), three phenolics: methyl 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate ( 4 ), methyl 3-methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate ( 5 ) and guaiacol ( 6 ), as well as two phenol derivatives: 4-formaldehyde phenone ( 7 ) and 6-methoxy- 2H -inden-5-ol ( 8 ). The study identified  4  and  6  as natural antioxidant compounds with potential as antimicrobial agents.
