Abstract
Bioassay‐guided fractionation of the dichloromethane extracts of the roots and the bark of Zanthoxylum usambarense led to the isolation of two physiologically active compounds, i.e. canthin‐6‐one 1 (fungicide) and pellitorine 4 (insecticide). Together with oxychelerythrine 2, norchelerythrine 3, (+)‐sesamin 5 and (+)‐piperitol‐3,3‐dimethylallyl ether 6, they were isolated for the first time from this plant.
