Bioassay-guided fractionation of the EtOAc extract of both Allamanda cathartica and Himatanthus fallax (Apocynaceae) using the Sc-7 yeast strain resulted in the isolation of the weakly cytotoxic isoplumericin and plumericin. In addition, the new lignan 7(R)-methoxy-8-epi-matairesional and three known compounds, plumieride, matairesinol, and pinoresinol, were isolated from H. fallax.
