Abstract
Triterpene quinones and related compounds isolated from Schaefferia cuneifolia Standley and Maytenus horrida Reiss were assayed for antimicrobial activity on 18 different bacteria and one yeast. Compounds which had a triterpene quinone skeleton and groups in ring E tested positive, with maximum activity when there was a carboxyl group at C-20. These substances were more or less effective against Gram positive bacteria and the yeast, but did not affect Gram negative bacteria.
