Two new molecular compounds have been discovered in the leaves of Cnestis polyphylla (Connaraceae), collected in Madagascar. This plant has verified acute toxicity, which justifies its empirical use. Biological tests, phytochemical screening, guided extraction, and column isolation were performed on the plant. The determination of the structures of the two molecules was carried out using 1D and 2D NMR.
