Abstract
The chemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the root bark of Waltheria douradinha (Sterculiaceae) afforded an unusual quinolinone alkaloid named waltherione-A (1). Its structure was determined mainly by NMR spectroscopic methods. The antibacterial activity of waltherione-A (1) and the corresponding O-methylated derivative (2) was tested against three Gram-negative and three Gram-positive bacteria, with only (2) having moderate activity.
