Abstract:

Bioactivity-directed fractionation of the MeOH extract of the stem barks of Rollinia emarginata resulted in the isolation of six compounds, four acetogenins, rolliniastatin-1, sylvaticin, squamocin, and rollidecin B, one lignan, lirioresinol B, and an oxoaporphine, liriodenin. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and their in vitro leishmanicidal and trypanocidal properties are reported.
