Ancistrotanzanine A, the First 5, 3'-Coupled Naphthylisoquinoline Alkaloid, and Two Further, 5, 8'-Linked Related Compounds from the Newly Described Species Ancistrocladus tanzaniensis#, 1. Journal of natural products, 66(9), pp.1159-1165.http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11810/2901Full text can be accessed at http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/np030077bThe first phytochemical investigation of the recently discovered East African liana Ancistrocladus tanzaniensis is described, resulting in the isolation and structural elucidation of two new naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, ancistrotanzanines A (5) and B (6), and the known compound ancistrotectoriline A (7). Ancistrotazanine A (5) represents a hitherto unprecedented 5,3'-coupling type between the naphthalene and isoquinoline portions, while 6 and 7 are 5,8'-coupled. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptical methods. Compounds 5 and 6 showed good activities against the pathogens of leishmaniasis and Chagas' disease, Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma cruzi, while 5-7 displayed moderately potent antiplasmodial activities against Plasmodium falciparum parasites.enJournal Article10.1021/np030077b · Source: PubMed
