Chemical and Cytotoxic Activity of three main Sesquiterpenoids from Warburgia ugandensis

Plant materials of Warburgia ugandensis have long been used in traditional African medicine due to their broad spectrum of biological activity. Here, we describe an efficient and mild isolation of three major compounds polygodial 1a, warburganal 2a, and muzigadial 2b using Soxhlet extraction and com...
