| dc.description.abstract | Rawsonia lucida (Flacourtiaceae) is an evergreen tree or shrub
that is mainly distributed in tropical and southern Africa.
Recent survey of plants traditionally used for the treatment of
malaria have shown that the leaves of this plant exhibit in
vitro antimalarial activity with ICso value of29.8Jlg!ml against
Plasmodium falciparum.
In this study the stem bark ofthis plant was investigated and
five friedelane-type triterpenes were isolated and identified as
fridelin (1), canophyllol (2), canophyllal (3) friedelane-l,3-
dione (4), and 28-hydroxyfriedelane-l ,3-dione (5). In this presentation
the isolation and structure eiucidation ofthese compounds
will be discussed. | en |
