Wai-Sum Yap,Chew-Yan Gan,Yun-Yee Low,Yeun-Mun Choo,Tadahiro Etoh,Masahiko Hayashi,Kanki Komiyama,Toh-Seok Kam +7 more
TL;DR: Three new indole alkaloids (1-3), named grandilodines A-C, and five known ones were obtained from the Malayan Kopsia grandifolia, which were found to reverse multidrug resistance in vincristine-resistant KB cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidized derivatives of macroline, sarpagine, and pleiocarpamine alkaloids from Alstonia angustifolia.
TL;DR: A total of 20 new indole alkaloid comprising mainly oxidized derivatives of macroline- (including alstofonidine, a macroline indole incorporating a butyrolactone ring-F), pleiocarpamine-, and sarpagine-type alkaloids were isolated from the bark and leaf extracts of Alstonia angustifolia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macroline, akuammiline, sarpagine, and ajmaline alkaloids from Alstonia macrophylla
TL;DR: Six of these alkaloids isolated from the stem-bark and leaf extracts of the Malayan Alstonia macrophylla were effective in reversing multidrug-resistance (MDR) in vincristine-resistant KB cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhazinilam-Leuconolam-Leuconoxine Alkaloids from Leuconotis griffithii.
TL;DR: In this article, eight new indole alkaloids (1, 8) belonging to the rhazinilam-leuconolam-and leuconoxine group were isolated from the stem-bark extract of Leuconotis griffithii.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic oxidative transformations of pericine: partial synthesis of apparicine and valparicine, a new pentacyclic indole alkaloid from Kopsia
TL;DR: A pentacyclic indole alkaloid of the pericine type, valparicine, representing the first member of this sub-group, was obtained from a Malayan Kopsia species and the structure was established by spectroscopic analysis as discussed by the authors.
