Abstract
As a part of a study on new antiplasmodial natural products, a new 8-5' linked lignan dehydrodiconiferyl dibenzoate (2) and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (1) were isolated from the roots of the palm Euterpe precatoria. In contrast to compound 1, compound 2 showed a moderate antiplasmodial activity.
