A new cerebroside, named as tricalycoside ( 1 ), was isolated from the CH 2 Cl 2 /Me OH (1:1) extract of twigs and leaves of Tricalysia coriacea using repeated silica gel open column chromatography followed by preparative TLC and Sephadex LH ‐20 , together with six known compounds ( 2 – 7 ). The structure of the new compound was determined by analysis of 1D‐ and 2D‐ NMR , MS data, chemical conversion, and by comparison of these data with those from the literature. Tricalycoside ( 1 ) possessed a weak antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae ( MIC = 75 μg/mL).
