Abstract:

Three new bisindole alkaloids, bisleuconothines B–D (1–3), were isolated from the bark of Leuconotis griffithii. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. Bisleuconothine B (1) is the first monoterpene indole alkaloid dimer featuring bridges between both C-16–C-10′ and C-2–O–C-9′. All compounds were deemed noncytotoxic (IC₅₀ > 10 μM) when tested against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells.
