ABSTRACT
Do extrato em diclorometano do tronco de Kielmeyera cuspidata Saddi, Clusiaceae, foram isoladas cinco xantonas, 1,6-diidroxi-3,5-dimetoxixantona, 2-hidroxi-1-metoxixantona, 2,3-metilenodioxixantona, 4-hidroxi-2,3-metilenodioxixantona e 3-hidroxi-2,4-dimetoxixantona e dois triterpenos, α-amirina e β-amirina. O extrato exibiu toxicidade para Artemia salina e atividade antibacteriana para Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subitilis, Staphylococcus aureus e Streptococcus mutans, não sendo ativo para Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Salmonela choleraesuis.
