In the search for antiparasite compounds from the Colombian flora, an active compound against Leishmania (Viannia) panamensis amastigotes was isolated from the fungi Pycnoporus sanguineus . The structural elucid‐ation was achieved with spectroscopic methods ( 1 H and 13 C NMR and MS). This compound was identified as ergosterol 5,8‐endoperoxide. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
