A new azaoxoaporphine alkaloid, 8,9-dimethoxysampangine (1), and a new naphthyridine alkaloid, 7-methoxy-8-hydroxyeupolauridine (2), along with two known azaoxoaporphine alkaloids, sampangine (3) and 9-methoxysampangine (4), were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the barks of Polyalthia nemoralis. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral evidences. Compound 1 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against KB, MCF7, LU-1, HepG2, LNCap, SW626 and SW480 cancer cell lines with IC 50 values in the range of 5.060.04-7.610.06 M.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
