Activity of 6-Pentadecylsalicylic Acid from Ozoroa insignis Against Marine Crustaceans
(University of Nairobi, 2002)
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the dichloromethane extract from twigs of Ozoroa insignis using Artemia salina larvae as a model led to the isolation of 6-pentadecylsalicylic acid as the active principle. This is the first ...
Kirkinine, a New Daphnane Orthoester with Potent Neurotrophic Activity from Synaptolepis kirkii
(University of Nairobi, 2000)
The bioassay-guided fractionation of a dichloromethane extract from the roots of Synaptolepis kirkii using neuronal viability as a model allowed the isolation of the new daphnane orthoester kirkinine (1a) as a powerful ...
A Benzochromene from the Roots of Pentas Bussei
(University of Nairobi, 2002)
A new homoprenylated benzochromene, methyl-5,10-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-3-methyl-3-[4-methyl-3-pentenyl]-3H-benzo[f]chromene-9-carboxylate (1), was isolated from the roots of Pentas bussei, collected from Kenya. The structure ...
Neurotrophic And Antileukemic Daphnane Diterpenoids From Synaptolepis Kirkii
(University of Nairobi, 2002-10)
Biological assay guided fractionation of a dichloromethane extract of Synaptolepis kirkii led to the isolation of four new and five known daphnane-type diterpene orthoesters, whose structure was established by spectroscopic ...
Chemical Constituents And Biological Activities Of Zanthoxylum Usambarense
(University of Nairobi, 2002-02)
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the dichloromethane extracts of the roots and the bark of Zanthoxylum usambarense led to the isolation of two physiologically active compounds, i.e. canthin-6-one 1 (fungicide) and pellitorine ...
