  • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing using standard microbiological assays.

    • Main Results:

    • A new triterpene, (3β,11α)-11-hydroxyolean-12-en-3-yl palmitate (1), was isolated from the bark.
    • Several known triterpenes, steroids, and fatty acid esters were identified from different plant parts.
    • Compounds 1-4 and 6 exhibited slight antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus.
    • Compounds 3a-c showed slight activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

    Conclusions:

    • Barringtonia asiatica is a rich source of diverse triterpenoids and other phytochemicals.
    • The isolated compounds possess mild antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential for further investigation.
    • This study contributes to the chemotaxonomic understanding of Barringtonia species and their bioactive potential.
