Anti-plasmodial Activities Of Flavonoids From Erythrina Sacleuxii
(University of Nairobi, 2006-02)
The acetone extracts of the root bark and stem bark of Erythrina sacleuxii showed antiplasmodial activities against the chloroquine-sensitive (D6) and chloroquine-resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Chromatographic ...
Antileukemic compounds derived by chemical modification of macrocyclic trichothecenes. 2. Derivatives of roridins A and H and verrucarins A and J
(1984-02)
Various 8 beta-hydroxy, 16-hydroxy, and 9 beta,10 beta-epoxy derivatives of roridins A and H and verrucarins A and J have been prepared and tested in vivo against P388 mouse leukemia. The 9 beta,10 beta-epoxy derivatives ...
Antiparasitic and antimicrobial isoflavanquinones from Abrus schimperi.
(2011-11)
The EtOH extract of Abrus schimperi (Fabaceae), collected in Kenya, demonstrated significant activity against Leishmania donovani promastigotes with IC50 value of 3.6 microg/mL. Bioassay-guided fractionation of CHCl3 ...
Two prenylated flavonoids from the stem bark of Erythrina burttii
(2003-06)
From the stem bark of Erythrina burttii, a new isoflavone, 5,2′,4′-trihydroxy-7-methoxy-6-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)isoflavone (trivial name, 7-O-methylluteone) and a new flavanone, 5,7-dihydroxy-4′-methoxy-3′-(3-methylbutadie ...
Benzoquinone derivatives of Myrsine africana and Maesa lanceolata
(2003-10)
The fruits of Myrsine africana afforded two new benzoquinone derivatives, methylvilangin and methylanhydrovilangin. On the other hand, from the fruits of Maesa lanceolata two more novel compounds; 2,5-dihydroxy-3-(nonade ...
Three isoflav-3-enes and a 2-arylbenzofuran from the root bark of Erythrina burttii
(University of Nairobi, 2002-02)
From the root bark of Erythrina burttii three isoflav-3-enes, 7,4′-dihydroxy-2′-methoxy-6-(1″,1″-dimethylallyl)isoflav-3-ene (trivial name, burttinol-A), 4′-hydroxy-2′-methoxy-2″,2″-dimethylpyrano[5″,6″:8,7]isoflav-3-ene ...
Effect of rotenoids from the seeds of Millettia dura on larvae of Aedes aegypti
(University of Nairobi, 2003-10)
A crude chloroform extract of seeds of Millettia dura Dunn (Leguminosae) showed high activity (LC50 = 3.5 µg ml−1 at 24 h) against second-instar larvae of the mosquito, Aedes aegypti L (Diptera: Culicidae). The rotenoids, ...
Antimicrobial flavonoids from the stem bark of Erythrina burttii
(University of Nairobi, 2005-07)
The chloroform extract of the stem bark of Erythrina burttii showed antifungal and antibacterial activities using the disk diffusion method. Flavonoids were identified as the active principles. Activities were observed ...
The Mystery of Trichothecene Antibiotics in Baccharis Species
(1988-08)
The Brazilian higher plant Baccharis coridifolia has been shown to synthesize de novo a series of highly toxic macrocyclic trichothecene antibiotics heretofore found to be produced only by fungi. These compounds are produced ...
