Abstract
The extract of Hyptis emoryi (Labiatae) has shown tumor‐inhibiting properties in the 5WA16 test system of the Cancer Chemotherapy National Service Center. By means of melting point, mixed melting point, IR, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and preparation of derivatives, the agent responsible for this action was shown to be betulinic acid.
