The clinical efficacy of many existing antibiotics is currently threatened by the emergence of microbial resistance. This recognized worldwide situation prompts to greater efforts to discover antimicrobial agents of natural origin, including plant sources. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of extracts, fractions and pure compounds from using a bioguided complementary fractionation, contributing also to explain some traditional uses of this genus.

According to the latest phylogenetic and cytogenetic results, Larnax and Deprea should be merged in order to form a natural group. Consequently, we propose 32 combinations of Larnax species names under Deprea: Depreaabra-patriciae (S.Leiva & Barboza) S.

Eleven new withanolides (1-11) were isolated and characterized from the aerial parts of Nicandra john-tyleriana. Five of these withanolides have an unmodified skeleton (1-5), two are acnistins (6, 7), and four are withajardins (8-11). These new isolates were fully characterized using a combination of spectroscopic techniques (including multidimensional NMR) and mass spectrometry.
