Abstract
Four new long-chain compounds, leucoperoxyterpene ( 1), leucoester ( 2), leucoic acid ( 3), and leucoenoic acid ( 4) has been isolated from aerial parts of the medicinal plant Leucosceptrum canum together with fifteen known compounds. Compound 1 was found to be a member of the rare class of peroxy open chain natural products. The structures of all compounds were assigned by means of modern spectroscopic techniques. All compounds were tested for their antibacterial activities against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas agarici, Streptococcus minor, and Streptococcus ferus, in which, compounds 1, and 10– 15 exhibited potent to moderate activities.
