Abstract
The compounds 1-6 were isolated from the heartwood of Plumeria rubra, following bioactivity-directed fractionation. Plumericin 1 and isoplumericin 2 displayed molluscicidal, cytotoxic and antibacterial activity, 4-hydroxyacetophenone 3 was weakly cytotoxic, whereas the remaining glycosidic isolates (plumieride, 4; 13-O-coumaroylplumieride, 5; protoplumericine A, 6) were inactive in all test systems.
