Abstract :
Triterpenoid Bryononic Acid was isolated from Sandoricum koetjape Merr plant collected from Serang district, West Java, Indonesia, in which its chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. The antibacterial activity was carried out using a microdilution method. The antibacterial evaluation of extracts and fractions from the Sandoricum koetjape hulls was active against Salmonella enterica with their Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) value of 6.0. μg/mL. The results showed that the extracted plant indicated antibacterial activity with strong spectrum. Thus, identifying the chemical constituents responsible for this antibacterial activity may lead to this discovery and production of new antibacterial drugs against microbes.
