Root cultures of the West African liana Triphyophyllum peltatum were initiated from stem explants of in vitro cultivated shoots. From these organ cultures, three new binaphthalenes, one binaphthoquinone, and two (bi)naphthalene glucosides were isolated, with substitution patterns related to those of
Dioncoquinones belong to a family of natural naphthoquinone products of interest due to their promising anti-tumoral and anti-infective activities. In particular, dioncoquinones A (5) and B (6) have been shown to be highly active against Leishmania major and multiple myeloma cells without any
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 discovery of a novel biosynthetic pathway to isoquinoline alkaloids is described. The naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid dioncophylline A, one of the most prominent representatives of a new class of structurally and pharmacologically intriguing secondary metabolites, is shown to originate from
