The phenolic compounds methyl 2-O-feruloyl-1a-O-vanillactate (1), caffeic anhydride (2), and trans 4-hydroxycyclohexyl-2-O-p-coumaroyl beta-D-glucopyranoside (3) have been isolated from the AcOEt-soluble fraction of Ehretia obtusifolia, along with methyl rosmarinate (4) and rosmarinic acid (5), which are reported for the first time from this species. Their structures were determined by means of 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques. Compounds 1-5 inhibited lipoxygenase in a concentration-dependent manner, with Ki values ranging from 0.85-57.6 microM. Compounds 1, 2, 4, and 5 showed noncompetitive inhibition, whereas 3 was found to be an uncompetitive inhibitor of lipoxygenase.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: To best of our knowledge this is the first quantitative ethno-medicinal study with the aim of documenting the indigenous knowledge and practices of using plants for malarial therapy in Soon Valley, Khushab, Pakistan. In this Valley, malaria is among the major public health problems but, until now, the population still mostly relies on herbal medicine for treatment.
Materials And Methods: Ethno-medicinal data were documented from 63 informants by using semi-structured questionnaires and interviewing the informants about their knowledge of plants regarding malaria and related symptoms.
