Abstract

Six alkaloids belonging to the methyl chanofruticosinate group, viz., prunifolines A-F, in addition to six other known methyl chanofruticosinate alkaloids, were isolated from the leaf extract of Kopsia arborea. The structures were determined using NMR and MS analysis and comparison with known related compounds.
