​The ethanolic root extract of Scrophularia lepidota, an endemic plant of the Turkish flora, has been investigated for its anti-protozoal and inhibitory effect towards plasmodial enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI), a key enzyme of fatty acid biosynthesis in Plasmodium falciparum. 

METHODS AND RESULTS:

Chromatographic separation of the extract yielded 10 iridoids (1-10), two of which are new, and a known phenylethanoid glycoside (11). The structures of the new compounds were determined as 3,4-dihydro-methylcatalpol (8) and 6-O-[4''-O-trans-(3,4-dimethoxycinnamoyl)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl]aucubin (scrolepidoside, 9) by spectroscopic means. The remaining metabolites were characterized as catalpol (1), 6-O-methylcatalpol (2), aucubin (3), 6-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-aucubin (sinuatol, 4), 6-O-beta-D-xylopyranosylaucubin (5), Ajugol (6), ajugoside (7), an iridoid-related aglycone (10) and angoroside C (11). Nine isolates were active against Leishmania donovani, with the new compound 9 being most potent (IC50 6.1 microg/ml). Except for 4, all pure compounds revealed some trypanocidal potential against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 values 29.3-73.0 microg/ml). Only compound 10 showed moderate anti-plasmodial (IC50 40.6 microg/ml) and FabI enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 100 microg/ml). 10 is the second natural product inhibiting the fatty acid biosynthesis of Plasmodium falciparum.
