A novel isoflavonoid from Millettia puguensis.

All compounds were evaluated for their antiproto-zoal and cytotoxic activities, but only a moderate antileishmanialactivity was observed for compound 3 (IC 50 = 32mM againstLeishmania infantum), and a moderate cytotoxicity for com-pound 2 (IC 50 = 43 mM on MRC-5 cells)enNovelMillettia puguensisIsoflavonoidArticle
