摘要: Malaria is one of the most life-threatening infectious diseases worldwide and claims millions peoples life each year. The appearance drug-resistance Plasmodium falciparum has made treatment malaria increasingly problematic, thus, it a dire need to search new alternatives current drugs. In present study, 44 cassane- norcassane-type diterpenes isolated from Caesalpinia crista Myanmar Indonesia were evaluated for their antimalarial activity against parasite FCR-3/A2 clone in vitro. Most tested displayed activity, norcaesalpinin E (28) showed potent with an IC50 value 0.090 μM, more than clinically used drug chloroquine (IC50, 0.29 μM). Based on observed results, structure–activity relationship been established.
