Preliminary screening of a series of medicinal plants, traditionally used in Tanzania, showed an IC50 of 15.6–31.2 μg/ml for the crude extract of the root of Ormocarpum kirkii S. Moore (Papilionaceae) against Plasmodium falciparum. A bioguided isolation was performed in order to isolate the active constituents.
