Abstract

Five new alkaloids, including three 19,20-epoxytubotaiwine stereoisomers, viz. kopsiyunnanines F1 (1), F2 (2), and F3 (3), (Z)-isocondylocarpine (4), and (Z)-isocondylocarpine N-oxide (5), along with five known tubotaiwine-type indole alkaloids were isolated from the aerial part of Yunnan Kopsia arborea Blume (Apocynaceae). Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical means.
