Abstract:
1. The HPLC separation of a water-soluble toxic fraction isolated from the seed of Sesbania vesicaria provided a potent antileukemic compound which was identified as sesbanimide (or sesbanimide A). The identity was established by comparison of the proton magnetic resonance spectra of the isolated sesbanimide and the authentic sample. 2. The IC50 value determined by the activity against the growth of murine leukemia (L1210) cells in vitro was 0.8 ng/ml.
