Spondiasmombin is a widely cultivated edible plant used in folkloric medicine for the treatment of severe cough and other respiratory disorders. This study evaluated the anti tubercular property of the stem of S. mombin against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv and EJA-2011) using agar proportion assay on Lowenstein-Jensen medium. Four new compounds were isolated from the stem of Spondiasmombin...
