Abstract
The phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Siparuna pauciflora yielded three novel sesquiterpenoids: the germacrane sipaucin A, the elemane sipaucin B and sipaucin C, comprising a new type of carbon skeleton. In addition, four known aporphine alkaloids-nor-boldine, boldine, laurotetanine, and N-methyl-laurotetanine-were obtained. The evaluation of the antiplasmodial activity of the isolated compounds against two strains of Plasmodium falciparum (PoW, Dd2) showed a moderate activity of nor-boldine.Entities:
