Three new physalins ( 1 – 3 ) and a new withanolide 7 have been isolated from the whole plant of Physalis minima , along with three known physalins: physalin H ( 4 ), isophysalin B ( 5 ), and 5 β ,6 β ‐epoxyphysalin B ( 6 ). Their structures were deduced on the basis of in‐depth spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1 – 6 showed significant in vitro leishmanicidal activities (0.92–19.4 μg/ml) against promastigotes of Leishmania major.
