Abstract

Bipinnatone A (1) and B (2) (Fig. 1) are two novel dihydrochalcone-typed compounds, isolated from aerial parts of the Queensland shrub Boronia bipinnata by Quinn and co-workers in 2008 [1]. As shown in Ref. [1], compounds 1 and 2 can effectively inhibit the activity of hemoglobinase II which is an essential enzyme for the survival of the parasite and an attractive target for discovering the drug of malarial [2] and [3]. ... Structures of bipinnatone A and B. Structures of ...
