The crude extract ofBrucea javanicashowed strong in vitro inhibitory activity againstTrypanosoma evansi. Among the isolated quassinoids, bruceines A, C, and bruceantinol were found to be the most potent compounds againstT. evansi. To gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between the free hydroxyl groups and the activity, severalO-acetylated derivatives of bruceines A and C were synthesized and their in vitro antitrypanosomal activities against trypomastigotes ofT. evansiwere examined and compared with those of the original compounds. The following structure–activity relationships were observed: (1) the free hydroxyl groups at positions C-3, C-11, and C-12 are essential for antitrypanosomal activity; (2) the C-11 and C-12 hydroxyl groups are more important for the activity than the enolic hydroxyl group at C-3, and; (3) the free hydroxyl group at C-4′ of bruceine C does not have any significant effect on the activity.
