Isolation and characterization of Brachystemidines A-E, novel alkaloids from Brachystemma calycinum

J Nat Prod. 2002 May;65(5):750-2. doi: 10.1021/np010330c.

Abstract

Five novel alkaloids, brachystemidines A-E (1-5), were isolated from the roots of Brachystemma calycinum. Their structures were established by spectral data, especially by 1D and 2D NMR techniques. The crystal structure of brachystemidine D was determined via X-ray diffraction analysis.
