Phytochemical and antimicrobial studies on Drynaria quercifolia

Friedelin, epifriedelinol, β-amyrin, β-sitosterol, β-sitosterol 3-β- d-glucopyranoside, and naringin were isolated from the dried rhizome of Drynaria quercifolia. The methanol extract showed broad and concentration-dependent antibacterial activity.
