A chemical study on tissue cultures from leaves and flowers of E. camaldulensis Dehnh . afforded the new natural product (2 α ,3 β )‐2,3,23‐trihydroxy‐13,28‐epoxyurs‐11‐en‐28‐one (dryobalanolide) together with the known pentacyclic triterpenoids: betulinic acid, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, (2 α ,3 β )‐2,3,23‐trihydroxyolean‐12‐en‐28‐oic acid (arjunolic acid), (2 α ,3 β )‐2,3,23‐trihydroxyurs‐12‐en‐28‐oic acid (asiatic acid), (2 α )‐2‐hydroxyursolic acid, (2 α )‐2‐hydroxyoleanolic acid (maslinic acid), as well as β ‐sitosterol. The extracts and the isolated compounds were evaluated against eleven human pathogenic microorganisms, exhibiting a very interesting antibacterial spectrum of activities.
