(+)-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)lindcarpine: a new cytotoxic aporphine isolated from Actinodaphne pruinosa Nees

Molecules. 2009 Jul 31;14(8):2850-6. doi: 10.3390/molecules14082850.

Abstract

Onenewalkaloid; (+)-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)lindcarpine (1),together with four known aporphine alkaloids, (+)-boldine (2) (+)-norboldine (3), (+)-lindcarpine (4) and (+)-methyllindcarpine (5) were isolated from the stem bark of Actinodaphne pruinosa Nees (Lauraceae). (+)-N-(2-Hydroxypropyl)lindcarpine (1) exhibited cytotoxic activity against P-388 murine leukemia cells with an IC(50 )value of 3.9 microg/mL. Structural elucidation of all the compounds were performed by spectral methods such as 1D- and 2D- NMR, IR, UV, and HRESIMS.
