Yf. Hallock et al., HIV-INHIBITORY NATURAL-PRODUCTS .36. MICHELLAMINES-D-F, NEW HIV-INHIBITORY DIMERIC NAPHTHYLISOQUINOLINE ALKALOIDS, AND KORUPENSAMINE-E, A NEW ANTIMALARIAL MONOMER, FROM ANCISTROCLADUS-KORUPENSIS, Journal of natural products, 60(7), 1997, pp. 677-683
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.
