Sulfur-containing compounds from Clinacanthus siamensis

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2003 Dec;51(12):1423-5. doi: 10.1248/cpb.51.1423.

Abstract

Two new sulfur-containing compounds, trans-3-methylsulfonyl-2-propenol (1) and trans-3-methylsulfinyl-2-propenol (2) were isolated together with trans-3-methylthioacrylamide (3), entadamide A (4) and entadamide C (5) from the leaves of Clinacanthus siamensis. The structures were established on the basis of the spectroscopic data. The compounds were tested for antimalarial and antimycobacterial activity.
