A new phenolic derivative, 2,8‐dihydroxy‐7 H ‐furo[2,3‐ f ]chromen‐7‐one ( 1 ), together with isoquercitrin ( 2 ), was isolated from the aerial parts of Tibouchina paratropica . Compound structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Both compounds show antimicrobial activit y towards a panel of bacterial and fungal pathogens, and compound 1 displayed potent anti‐parasitic activity against Leishmania donovani (IC 50 = 0.809 µg/mL). In addition, an 85% reduction in the secretion of the pro‐inflammatory cytokine IL‐6 was recorded when macrophages challenged with lipopolysaccharide were exposed to compound 1 , but no effect on the anti‐inflammatory IL‐10 was observed. Compound 2 showed neither anti‐parasitic nor anti‐inflammatory properties. In addition, no cytotoxic activities were observed against the human‐derived macrophage THP‐1 cells.
