Isolation and identification of antibacterial and cytotoxic compounds from the leaves of Muntingia calabura L.
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Muntingia calabura (Elaeocarpaceae) is one of the most common roadside trees in Malaysia. Its leaves, barks, flowers and roots have been used as a folk remedy for the treatment of fever, incipient cold, liver disease, as well as an antiseptic agent in Southeast Asia....

Results: Three flavones and a chalcone [5,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyflavone (1), 2′,4′- dihydroxychalcone (2), 5-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone (3) and 3,5,7-trihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone (4)] were isolated from the active fraction F5 of EtOAc extract. Compounds 1 and 3 were isolated for the first time from Muntingia calabura L. Antibacterial activity indicates that compound 2 exhibited the most significant activity with MIC value of 50 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL against MSSA and MRSA, respectively. Cytotoxic activity indicates that compounds 2 and 3 exhibited very strong activity against HL60 with IC50 values of 3.43 μg/mL and 3.34 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: The antibacterial activity of the leaves of Muntingia calabura L. is ascribable to the active compound 2 while the cytotoxic activity is ascribable to the active compounds 2 and 3. © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

The aim of this study is to isolate and identify the antibacterial and cytotoxic compounds from the leaves of Muntingia calabura L.
