Abstract
New monomeric (korupensamine E, 6) and dimeric (michellamines D-F, 7-9 ) naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids have been isolated from exracts of th e tropical liana Ancistrocladus korupensis. Structures were determined by spectroanalytical methods, and stereochemistry was defined through NOE correlations, chemical degradation, and CD spectroscopy. Michella mines D-F exhibited in vitro HIV-inhibitory activity comparable to mic hellamine B, and korupensamine E exhibited in vitro antimalarial activ ity comparable to korupensamines A-D.
