J. Nat. Prod., 2006, 69 (3), pp 346–350 | Antimalarial Compounds from Grewia bilamellata[Reference: WebLink] | METHODS AND RESULTS: Bioassay-directed fractionation led to the isolation of 12 compounds from a sample of the dried leaves, twigs, and stems of Grewia bilamellata.
CONCLUSIONS:
Five of the isolates, 3α,20-lupandiol (1), grewin (2), Nitidanin (4), 2α,3β-dihydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (5), and 2,6-dimethoxy-1-acetonylquinol (6), showed varying degrees of in vitro antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, but were devoid of significant cytotoxicity to the human oral epidermoid KB cancer cell line. |
