Conolodinines A–D, Aspidosperma–Aspidosperma Bisindole Alkaloids with Antiproliferative Activity from Tabernaemontana corymbosa

Examination of the EtOH extract of the leaves of the Malayan Tabernaemontana corymbosa resulted in the isolation of four new (1-4) and two known bisindole alkaloids (5, 6) of the Aspidosperma-Aspidosperma type. The structures of these alkaloids were determined based on analysis of the spectroscopic...
