pubescens Mallotus oppositifolius is a plant species in the genus Mallotus found in Africa and Madagascar.

lindicus is classified in the IUCN red list of vulnerable species of plants.

[2] The aqueous and ethanol extracts of the plant show antifungal properties,[3] and anti parasitic activity against blastocystis hominis.

[4] The bioassay-guided fractionation of an ethanol extract of the leaves and inflorescence of M. oppositifolius collected in Madagascar led to the isolation of the two new bioactive dimeric phloroglucinols mallotojaponins B and C, together with mallotophenone.

These compounds show antiproliferative and antiplasmodial (antimalarial) activities.
