(±)-Licarin A ((±)-trans-Dehydrodiisoeugenol) is a dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, the resultant of an oxidative coupling reaction of isoeugenol and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme. (±)-Licarin A shows 100% parasites mortality at 200 μM.
Burchellin has larvicidal activity, it can interfer with the development cycle of the mosquito, where its strongest toxic effect is 100% mortality in larvae (L3) at concentrations ¥ 30 ppm. Burchellin and licarin A have activity against Trypanosoma cruzi
