[structure: see text] A novel seco-dibenzopyrrocoline alkaloid, named oubatchensine 6, and five phenanthroindolizidines (1-5) were isolated from Cryptocarya oubatchensis, and their structures were elucidated. Displacement centrifugal partition chromatography was used to purify compounds 1 and 6. Structure determination of the latter was carried out by mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, and computer-assisted structure determination. Cytotoxic activity against KB cells was then investigated.
