SURVEY OF PLANTS FOR ANTIMALARIAL ACTIVITY.
Abstract
Pleicoarpa mutica, Isertia hypoleuca, Tagetes filifolia, Verbena hastata, Cephaelis tomentosa, an unknown Isertia species, 'Kinkelibia,' Polysiphonia harveyii and Rhodymenia palmata were studied chemically. In addition, there were a number of plants on which only preliminary chemical work was initiated. As a result of the chemical investigation, a number of pure compounds were submitted for testing in the antimalarial screening program. These include pleiocarpine hydrochloride, dehydrodihydroquinamine, dihydroquinamine, and two uncharacterized compounds, IH-Lf-A and VH-N-1. None of these compounds showed significant antimalarial activity. (Author)
