A. Marston et al., ISOLATION OF ANTIFUNGAL AND LARVICIDAL CONSTITUENTS OF DIPLOLOPHIUM-BUCHANANI BY CENTRIFUGAL PARTITION CHROMATOGRAPHY, Journal of natural products, 58(1), 1995, pp. 128-130
Three phenylpropanoids, myristicin [1], elemicin [2], and trans-isoele
micin [3], together with two furanocoumarins, oxypeucedanin [4] and ox
ypeucedanin hydrate [5], have been isolated from the leaves of Diplolo
phium buchanani by a separation strategy involving the almost exclusiv
e use of centrifugal partition chromatography. All five compounds were
antifungal in a tie bioautography test using Cladosporium cucumerinum
. Compounds 1-4 exhibited larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti.
