The derivative of flavonoid compounds, artocarpin (1) and artonin M (2), were isolated from the root wood of Artocarpus altilis and from the root bark of A. kemando, respectively. Both plants originated from Lampung, Indonesia. The structure of the two compounds has been carefully determined by physical method and spectroscopy techniques of UV, IR, and NMR. The in vivo antimalarial test of artocarpin showed very good Plasmodium activity in female mice, with ED50 value of 34.88 mg/kg body weight (kgBW), whereas the in vitro antimalarial test of artonin M showed very strong activity with IC50 of 0.3 μg/mL (5.967 x 10-7 M).
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.
