(-)-{M}ethyllinderatin, linderatone and 2 ',6 '-dihydroxy-4 '-methoxydihydrochalcone exhibited the most potent antiplasmodial activity with {IC}50 values of 5.64, 10.33 and 12.69 mu {M}, respectively against both chloroquine-sensitive and resistant strains of {P}lasmodium falciparum ({F}32, {F}c{B}l). {T}he activity of (-)-methyllinderatin was confirmed in vivo against {P}lasmodium vinckei petteri in mice (80% of reduction of parasitemia) at a dose of 20 mg/kg/day.}, keywords = {{P}iper hostmanniantun var. berbicense ; {P}iperaceae ; dihydrochalcones ; flavanones ; antiplasmodial activity ; {P}lasimodium falciparum}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{P}hytochemistry}, volume = {68}, numero = {9}, pages = {1312--1320}, ISSN = {0031-9422}, year = {2007}, DOI = {10.1016/j.phytochem.2007.02.006}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010040596}, }
