Abstract

Four labdane-type diterpenic acids and syringaldehyde were isolated and identified from Brazilian propolis. A ll the compounds exhibit antibacterial activity. The diterpenes, found for the first time in propolis, are typical for some Araucaria species and thus indicate a possible plant source of Brazilian propolis.
