Abstract
A lipophilic extract of the root bark of Stereospermum kunthianum revealed antiplasmodial activity in vitro. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of four novel naphthoquinones (sterekunthals A and B, pyranokunthones A and B) and one novel anthraquinone (anthrakunthone) together with the known naphthoquinone pinnatal. The structures of the novel compounds were determined by comprehensive analyses of their 1D and 2D NMR data. The antiplasmodial activities and toxicity against the endothelial cell line ECV-304 of the isolated compounds have been assessed.Entities:
