Abstract
In the search for antiparasite compounds from the Colombian flora, an active compound against Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis amastigotes was isolated from the fungi Pycnoporus sanguineus. The structural elucid-ation was achieved with spectroscopic methods ((1)H and (13)C NMR and MS). This compound was identified as ergosterol 5,8-endoperoxide.
