One sesquiterpene compound has isolated and identified from ethylacetate extract of bawang hutan (Scorodocarpus borneensis Becc.) barks. The barks were macerated with methanol, and then partitioned with mixture of ethylacetate-water (1:1). Fractionation of the ethylacetate phase by column chromatography gave pure compound. Based on data interpretation from of ultra-violet (UV) spectra, Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), NMR 1D (1H and 13C-NMR); NMR 2D (HMQC, COSY, HMBC) and comparison with literature, the pure isolated compound was determined as a sesquiterpene compound, cadalene-β-carboxylic acid which exhibit LC50 of 42.32 ppm.
