C. Baraguey et al., ISOLATION, STRUCTURE AND SYNTHESIS OF CHEVALIERIN-A, CHEVALIERIN-B AND CHEVALIERIN-C, CYCLIC-PEPTIDES FROM THE LATEX OF JATROPHA-CHEVALIERI, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I (Print), (18), 1998, pp. 3033-3039
From the EtOAc extract of the latex of Jatropha chevalieri (Euphorbiac
eae), two cyclooctapeptides, chevalierins A (1) and B (2), and a cyclo
nonapeptide, chevalierin C (3), were isolated by a multi-step chromato
graphy procedure, including HPLC, Their structures were elucidated by
chemical degradation, mass spectrometry, homonuclear and heteronuclear
NMR experiments and confirmed from their synthesis. Their antimalaria
l activities were examined.
