F. Abe et al., FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF PHENANTHROINDOLIZIDINE ALKALOIDS FROM TYLOPHORA-TANAKAE, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 46(5), 1998, pp. 767-769
In addition to ten alkaloids previously described, we have isolated tw
o alkaloid N-oxides from Tylophora a tanakae MAXIM. (Asclepiadaceae),
Further, the polar fraction of the leaves and caules of this plant cul
tivated in a farm afforded two new polar alkaloids, The structures of
the four products were determined. The relation between the structure
and cytotoxic activity of this group of alkaloids is discussed.
