چکیده
Four new bisindole alkaloids of the Strychnos-Strychnos type, leucoridines A-D (1-4), were isolated from the stem-bark extract of Leuconotis griffithii. Alkaloids 1-4 showed moderate cytotoxicity against drug-sensitive and vincristine-resistant human KB cells.

Strychnogucines A and B, two new antiplasmodial bisindole alkaloids from Strychnos icaja.
A reinvestigation of Strychnos icaja roots has resulted in the isolation of two tertiary quasi-symmetric bisindole alkaloids named strychnogucines A (1) and B (2). Their structures were identified by means of spectroscopic data interpretation. Compound 2 was highly active in vitro and compound 1 moderately active against four strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Strychnogucine B (2) was more activ...
متن کاملAspidospermatan-aspidospermatan and eburnane-sarpagine bisindole alkaloids from Leuconotis.
Leucofoline and leuconoline, representing the first members of the aspidospermatan-aspidospermatan and eburnane-sarpagine subclasses of the bisindole alkaloids, respectively, were isolated from the Malayan Leuconotis griffithii. The structures of these bisindole alkaloids were established using NMR and MS analysis, and in the case of leuconoline, confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Both al...
متن کاملSynthesis and evaluation of Strychnos alkaloids as MDR reversal agents for cancer cell eradication.
Natural products represent the fourth generation of multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal agents that resensitize MDR cancer cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein (Pgp) to cytotoxic agents. We have developed an effective synthetic route to prepare various Strychnos alkaloids and their derivatives. Molecular modeling of these alkaloids docked to a homology model of Pgp was employed to optimize ligan...

In considération of thé many biological properties of alkaloids, and particularly of quinine (which remains an important antimalarial drug), it was not surprising that a séries of indolomonoterpenic alkaloids, mainly isolated from Strychnos usambarensis Gilg and from Strychnos icaja Baill., thé latter used in traditional medicine from Central Africa to treat chronic malaria, présent antiplasmod...
متن کاملExtraction, Purification and Characterization of Indole Alkaloids from Strychnos wallichiana L. – an Endangered Medicinal Plant from India
Strychnos wallichiana (Loganiaceae) is a critically endangered medicinal plant, commonly used in several native medical practices. The majority of members of the Strychnos genus shares a similar chemical composition and contains common indole alkaloids. Purification of strychnine and brucine from a few species of Strychnos have already been reported; however, we have purified and quantified the...
