摘要:AbstractPhytochemical investigation on the aerial parts ofUncaria perrottetiiled to the isolation of three pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids uncarine A or isoformosanine (1), uncarine E or isopteropodine (2), and rauniticine-allo-oxindole A (3). Five oxindole alkaloids, isomitraphylline (4), mitraphylline (5), uncarine B or formosanine (6), uncarine F (7), corynoxine (8), and uncarine D or speciophylline (9), were isolated from the leaves ofUncaria lanosaf.philippinensis. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic techniques and in comparison with the literature data. These compounds proved to be important chemotaxonomic markers in the genusUncaria.
