Abstract

Three iridoids (1–3) and a sesquiterpenoid (4) were isolated from the leaves of Villaria odorata, a Philippine endemic Rubiaceae species. The structures were elucidated based on NMR and MS and in comparison with the literature. The anti-inflammatory activity of 1– 4 was evaluated against COX-II, while the MIC and MBC of 3 and 4 were determined using the microtiter plate dilution assay.

Keywords: Rubiaceae, Villaria, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, MIC, MBC, COX-II
