Abstract: Cryptofolione (1) and the new cryptofolione derivative 6-(4,6-dimethoxy-8-phenyl-octa-1,7-dienyl)-4-hydroxy-tetrahydro-pyran-2-one (2) were isolated from the fruits of Cryptocarya alba. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Cryptofolione showed activity towards Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes, reducing their number by 77% at 250g mL-1. Cryptofolione showed moderate cytotoxicity in both macrophages and T. cruzi amastigotes. It also displayed a mild inhibitory effect on the promastigote form of Leishmania spp. As both cytotoxic and trypanocidal effects are similar, the compound presented little selectivity in our assay models.
