Abstract

Two new benzochromenes, (6,6-dimethyl-2-methoxy-6H-benzo[c]chromen-9-yl)methanol (1), and 2-methoxy-6,6-dimethyl-6H-benzo[c]chromen-9-carbaldehyde (2), together with several already known metabolites, were isolated from the root extract of Bourreria pulchra (Boraginaceae). The structures of 1 and 2 were established on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Both were assayed for in vitro antiprotozoan activity, and especially 1 was found to possess significant activity against Leishmania mexicana and Trypanosoma cruzi parasites (IC50 4.6 mu g/mL and 7.5 mu g/mL, respectively).
