Two novel alkaloids with a unique fused hexacyclic skeleton from Daphniphyllum subverticillatum.
Two novel major alkaloids, deoxycalyciphylline B (1) and deoxyisocalyciphylline B (2) with a unique fused hexacyclic skeleton, together with a quite recently reported alkaloid calyciphylline B (3), were isolated from the stem of Daphniphyllum subverticillatum. Their structures were established by spectral methods and chemical evidence, especially 2D NMR techniques. The structure of 1 was further confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction determination.
