    (Fitoterapia, 2008-04) Mungai, G.M.; Rukunga, G.M; Muregi, F.W.; Omar, S.A.; Gathirwa, J.W.; Muthaura, C.N.; Peter, M.G.; Heydenreich, M.
    Two sesquiterpenes, corymbolone and mustakone, isolated from the chloroform extract of the rhizomes of Cyperus articulatus, exhibited significant anti-plasmodial properties. Mustakone was approximately ten times more active than corymbolone against the sensitive strains of the Plasmodium falciparum.
