Nine alkaloids and β‐sitosterol were isolated from the root of Acronychia oligophylebia Merr. (Rutaceae). Among these alkaloids, five were identified as preskimmianine (2), evolitrine (5), kokusaginine (6), skimmianine (7) and maculosidine (8). The alkaloids 2, 5 and 8 were isolated from Acronychia genus for the first time. Oligophylicidine (10) and oligophylidine (4) were new bases. Oligophyline (3) and oligophylicine (9) were first found from natural source. Based on spectroscopic data, the structures of 3, 4, 9 and 10 were postulated. The structures of 10 and 9 were confirmed by synthesis.
3 and 9 showed a wide spectrum of antifungal activity, but the actions were weak.
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.
