Aporphinoid alkaloids and other constituents from Lettowianthus stellatus.
Two new aporphinoid alkaloids, f1ttowianthine and 11-methoxylettowianthine were isolated from the root bark of Lettowianthus stellatus, together with the new sesquiterpene 11-hydroxyguaia-4,6-diene and the known compounds liriodenine, (Z)-7-octadecen-9-ynoic acid, methyl (2E,6E,10R)-10,11-epoxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadienoate, methyl (2E,6E,10R)-10,11-dihydroxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadienoate  , and 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenol. The structure elucidation was achieved by spectroscopic methods.
