(-)-Asimilobine shows antioxidative, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE), anti-α±-glucosidase, anti-leishmanial and anti-fungal activities; it displays weak inhibition against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175), with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of 0.25 mg/mL.

This study was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial potential from aerial parts of plant, called 'Annona senegalensis' and its constituents. Bioassay guided fractionation led to the isolation of four metabolites, (+)-catechin (1), (-)-anonaine (2), (-)-Asimilobine (3) and (+)-nornantenine (4). This is the first report on the isolation of compounds 1, 3 and 4 from this plant. Compounds 2 and 4 showed good activity, whereas 1 and 3 displayed weak inhibition against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175). The results showed that compound 2 and 3 showed significant activity with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of 0.12 and 0.25 mg/mL, respectively[1]
