Abstract

From a lipophilic extract of leaves of Siparuna andina (Monimiaceae), which exhibited antiplasmodial activity in vitro, two new compounds have been isolated: sipandinolide (1), a compound with a novel type of carbon skeleton and (–)-cis-3- acetoxy-4′,5,7-trihydroxyflavanone (2). Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods; 2 showed moderate antiplasmodial activity whereas 1 was inactive.
