In this study, researchers from Argentina and Belgium evaluated the anti-parasitic properties of the derivatives of a compound isolated from Nardophyllum bryoides, a South American flowering plant from the sunflower family. Their results were published in the journal Chemical Biology & Drug Design.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that the n-hexyl ester of SA from N. bryoides can be used as a potent antimalarial agent.
