A new bischromone, chrobisiamone A (1) with an antiplasmodial activity has been isolated from the leaves of Cassia siamea and the structure was elucidated by 2D NMR analysis. Cyclization of 5-acetonyl-7-hydroxy-2-methylchromone (2) in the presence of ammonium acetate resulted in generation of
Activity-guided fractionation led to the isolation of luteolin (1) from the leaves of Senna siamea (syn. Cassia siamea). This compound was found to be an antagonist at the adenosine A(1) receptor with a K(i) value in the low micromolar range. Four additional nonactive compounds (2-5) were also
Three new alkaloids, cassiarins C-E (1-3), and a new chromone, 10,11-dihydroanhydrobarakol (4), which showed moderate antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7, were isolated from flowers of Cassia siamea, and the structures of 1-4 were elucidated by 2D NMR analysis and chemical
