Bioactivity | Gypsogenic acid is a triterpenoid acid that can be isolated from Miconia stenostachya and has antibacterial and trypanoidal activities. The MICs values of Gypsogenic acid for the oral bacterial pathogens Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus haematococcus, Streptococcus mutans and sobrinus were 50-200 μg/mL. Gypsogenic acid can induce blood cortensite cleavage in isolated mice with IC50 56.6 μM[1][2]. |
