The bioguided fractionation of the crude extracts of Lychnophora passerina (Mart. ex DC) Gardn., L. pinaster Mart. and L. trichocarpha Spreng. led to the isolation of four compounds active against the trypomastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi: the sesquiterpene lactones goyazensolide (1), eremantholide C (2), and lychnopholide (3) and a new caryophyllene derivative, which was named lychnophoic acid (4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
