ABSTRACT

A new methylene-bridged bisflavonoid, methylenebissantin (1), and nine known compounds, including flavonoids (2-5), diterpenoids (6 and 7), and phenol derivatives (8-10) were isolated from the aerial parts of Dodonaea viscosa Jacq. The structure elucidation was based on spectroscopic data analyses. The isolated compounds were evaluated for the inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum enoyl-ACP reductase (PfENR). Methylenebissantin (1) exhibited a moderate inhibition (IC(50) 91.13 μM) against PfENR.
