The Chromolaena genus is composed by about 170 plant species widely distributed in tropical areas. Several kinds of secondary metabolites and different biological activities have been described for species belonging to Chromolaena. This work described, for the first time, the phytochemical analysis of different polarity leaf and flower extracts of...

The Piperaceae family is recognized for its diverse biological properties such as antifungal, antibacterial, cytotoxic and insecticidal activities. Phytochemical investigation of inflorescences from P. cumanense led to the isolation and identification of a new 4-chromanone called oxocumanensic acid, along with five known benzoic acid derivatives. T...

New benzoic acid derivative (1), together with five known compounds has been isolated from the inflorescences of Piper cf. cumanense Kunth (Piperaceae). The structure was identified on basis of spectroscopic analysis and comparison with literature data. The compound (1) showed antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi and Botryt...
