G. Bringmann et al., Ancistroealaines A and B, two new bioactive naphthylisoquinolines, and related naphthoic acids from Ancistrocladus ealaensis, J NAT PROD, 63(11), 2000, pp. 1465-1470
Two new 5,8'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, ancistroealaines A (1)
and B (2), eleutherolic acid (3), and two naphthoic acids, ancistronaphtho
ic acid A (4) and B (5), have been isolated from Ancistrocladus ealaensis.
Their structures were determined by spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptica
l methods. Ancistroealaine,A (1) exhibited activity against Leishmania dono
vani and Trypanosoma cruzi in vitro.
