New amide alkaloid from the aerial part of Piper capense L.f. (Piperaceae)

Together with apigenine dimethylether and piperchabamide A, a new amide alkaloid, Kaousine and the Z form of antiepilepsirine were isolated from the aerial part of Piper capense L.f (Piperaceae). Their structures were elucidated by spectrometric methods and their in vitro antiparasitic activities were evaluated on Plasmodium falciparum.

A new amide alkaloid, Kaousine 1 was isolated from the aerial part of Piper capense together with Z-antiepilepsirine and known compounds. Their in vitro antiplasmodial activities were evaluated.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
