Alkaloids and aromatics of Cyathobasis fruticulosa (Bunge) Aellen

J Nat Prod. 2005 Jun;68(6):956-8. doi: 10.1021/np0580006.

Abstract

A beta-carboline-, a tryptamine-, and two phenylethylamine-derived alkaloids and three known aromatic compounds were isolated from the aerial parts and roots of Cyathobasis fruticulosa (Bunge) Aellen, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. The one new alkaloid, N-methyl-N-formyl-4-hydroxy-beta-phenylethylamine (1), showed marginal antifungal activity.
