Abstract

Chemical investigation of the stem bark of Turraeanthus africanus (Meliaceae) afforded a new pregnane derivative, 17α,20S-dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,16-dione, named turraeasterodione, together with three known diterpenoids, methyl 14,15-epoxylabda-8(17),12E-dien-16-oate, 16-oxolabda-8(17),12E-dien-15-oic acid, and 16-acetoxy-12R,15-epoxylabda-8(17),13(16)-dien-15β-ol. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods. Methyl 14,15-epoxylabda-8(17),12E-dien-16-oate was found to exhibit anti-plasmodial activity against a chloroquine-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum.
