The new diterpene glucoside 3,15-dihydroxy-ent-labd-7-en-17-oic acid 3-O-beta-D-glucoside (1) and its aglycone (2) have been isolated from Eupatorium glutinosum. The structures were determined by IR, one- and two-dimensional NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry, chemical transformations, and comparison of spectroscopic data with closely related diterpenes. Crude extracts showed antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities, but compounds 1 and 2 showed only antimicrobial activity. These results support the vernacular medicinal use of the plant as an antimicrobial.

This research reported a hydrogel loaded with the ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Lam. The extracts were characterized by phytochemical screening, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and UV/Vis profile identification. This research also evaluated the pharmacological activity of the extracts using antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory assays prior to polymeric encapsulation.

The antimicrobial properties of the hexane extract from the leaves and twigs of the Eupatorium glutinosum was tested against two Gram-negative and two Gram-positive bacteria. Bioassay guided fractionation leads characteristically to isolation and structure elucidation of two active compounds: 15-hydroxy-7-labden-17-oic acid and its acetate. These results validate the vernacular medicinal uses of the plant in folkloric medicine.

Folk medicinal plants are potential sources of useful therapeutic compounds including some with antiviral activities. Extracts prepared from 10 South American medicinal plants (Baccharis trinervis, Baccharis teindalensis, Eupatorium articulatum, Eupatorium glutinosum, Tagetes pusilla, Neurolaena lobata, Conyza floribunda, Phytolacca bogotensis, Phytolacca rivinoides and Heisteria acuminata) were screened for in vitro antiviral activity against herpes simplex type I (HSV-1), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and poliovirus type 1. The most potent inhibition was observed with an aqueous extract of B.
