Bioassay-guided fractionation of the bark extract of Annona foetida afforded a new antileishmanial pyrimidine-beta-carboline alkaloid, N-hydroxyannomontine (1), together with the previously reported annomontine (2), O-methylmoschatoline (3), and liriodenine (4). The structure of compound 1 was established on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR and MS analyses. This is the third reported pyrimidine-beta-carboline-type alkaloid and is particularly important for Annona genus chemotaxonomy. In addition, all compounds exhibit in vitro antileishmanial activity against promastigote forms of Leishmania braziliensis. Compounds 2 and 4 showed better activity than compounds 1 and 3 against L. braziliensis. Compound 2 was not active against L. guyanensis.

The global burden of bacterial infections is very high and has been exacerbated by increasing resistance to multiple antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance leads to failed treatment of infections, which can ultimately lead to death. To overcome antibiotic resistance, it is necessary to identify new antibacterial agents.

Phytochemical investigation of the branches of Annona foetida Mart. led to isolation from the CH(2)Cl(2) extract of four alkaloids: Atherospermidine (1), described for the first time in this species, liriodenine (2), O-methylmoschatoline (3), and annomontine (4). Their chemical structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic data from IR, MS, NMR (1D and 2D), and comparison with the literature.
