From the twigs and leaves of the Central African liana Ancistrocladus ealaensis (Ancistrocladaceae), a series of ten 7,8'-coupled naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids were isolated, comprising eight new compounds, named ealamines A-H (4a, 4b, 5-10), and two known ones,
PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells are characterized by their ability to proliferate aggressively under hypovascular and hypoxic conditions in the tumor microenvironment, displaying a remarkable tolerance to nutrition starvation. The antiausterity strategy is a new approach in anticancer drug
Ancistrosecolines A-F (8-13) are the first seco-type naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids discovered in Nature. In all these novel compounds, the tetrahydroisoquinoline ring is cleaved, with loss of C-1. They were isolated from the root bark of Ancistrocladus abbreviatus
From the roots of the West African liana Ancistrocladus abbreviatus (Ancistrocladaceae), ten new naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids (7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, and 9-14), displaying three different coupling types (5,1', 5,8', and 7,8'), were isolated, among them a series of five 5,1'-linked representatives and
Two new naphthylisoquinoline dimers, jozilebomines A (1a) and B (1b), were isolated from the roots of the Congolese plant Ancistrocladus ileboensis, along with the known dimer jozimine A2 (2). These compounds are Dioncophyllaceae-type metabolites, i.e., lacking oxygen functions at C-6 and with an
Five new compounds, named ancistronaphtosides A and B (1 and 2), anciscochine (3), anciscochine 6-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), and 4'-methoxy-5-epi-ancistecrorine A1 (5), together with tortoside A (6) and 4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenyl-6-O-syringoyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (7) were isolated from the methanolic
Four new naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, the 5,8'-coupled ancistroyafungines A-C (1-3) and the 5,1'-linked ancistroyafungine D (4), have been isolated from the stem bark of an as yet unidentified Ancistrocladus (Ancistrocladaceae) liana recently discovered near the village Yafunga, in the
Two unique pentacyclic N,C-coupled naphthylisoquinolines, the ancistrocyclinones A (5) and B (6), were discovered in the Chinese liana Ancistrocladus tectorius. Furthermore, six known, likewise N,C-coupled alkaloids, viz., ancistrocladinium A (7a) and its mono- and bisphenolic analogs 8a and 9a were
From the twigs and stems of the Chinese liana Ancistrocladus tectorius (Ancistrocladaceae), two new 5,8'-coupled naphthylisoquinolines, ancistectorine D (5) and its 6-O-demethyl derivative 6, were isolated, along with two new 7,1'-linked alkaloids, 6-O-methylancistectorine B1 (7) and ancistectorine
The effects of ethanol extracts from Thai plants on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function and cell viability were examined using paclitaxel-resistant HepG2 (PR-HepG2) cells. KP018 from Ellipeiopsis cherrevensis and AT80 from Ancistrocladus tectorius increased both rhodamine 123, a typical P-gp substrate,
Four new dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, michellamine A5 (2) and mbandakamines C-E (4-6), were isolated from the Congolese plant Ancistrocladus ealaensis, along with the known dimer mbandakamine A (3). They represent constitutionally unsymmetric dimers, each consisting of two 5,8'-coupled
Three new naphthylisoquinoline dimers, jozibrevines A-C (1a-c), were isolated from the West African shrub Ancistrocladus abbreviatus, along with the known dimer jozimine A2 (1d). The two molecular moieties of 1a-d are coupled via the sterically
From the methanolic extracts of solid callus cultures from two species of the closely related palaeotropical plant families Dioncophyllaceae and Ancistrocladaceae seven new natural naphthoquinones were isolated, dioncoquinones A (4) and B (5) from Triphyophyllum peltatum, and ancistroquinones B (6),
The National Cancer Institute is pursuing preclinical development of michellamine B (MB), a novel dimeric polyhydroxylated naphthalene-tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from Ancistrocladus abbreviatus, as an anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) agent. MB protects human lymphoid cells from
