<![CDATA[This study was undertaken primarily to isolate and identify substances from resin of Shorea javanica K. et. V. that might be responsible to inhibit the termite activity of Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren. Approximately 500 gram of dried-resin was extracted with acetone solvent. The acetone extract was then fractionated into n-hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and insoluble fraction (residue). The no-choice bioassay test was carried-out by treating paper discs with extracts at the concentration of 2.0%, 4.0%, 6.0%, 8.0%, 10.0%, 12.0% (W/W), and 0.0 % as control. The bioassay test showed that n-hexane and diethyl ether soluble fraction exhibited highest antitermic properties at Lethal Concentration (LC)50 value of 1.62% and continuation fraction showed N3 of n-hexane fraction an EE1 of diethyl ether fraction exhibited highest toxicity at LC50 value of 1.23 % and 1.65%. Further investigation of the n-hexane soluble fraction by using CC, GC-MS, FTIR, UV-Vis, and NMR led to the isolation and identification of the main compound, namely friedelin, while the diethyl ether soluble fraction contains vulgarol B; 3,4-Secodamar-4(28)-en-3-oic acid; (7R,10S)-2,6,10-Trimethyl-7, 10–epoxy-2,11-dodecadien; and junipene (decahydro-4,8,8-trimethyl-1,4-methanoazulene)]]>
