title: Cyclopeptide alkaloids from Scutia buxifolia Reiss and their antimicrobial activity.
abstract: The present study reports a cyclopeptide alkaloid, scutianine M, isolated from the methanolic root bark extract of Scutia buxifolia Reiss (Rhamnaceae) along with six known compounds, scutianines-B, -C, -D, -E, -F, and scutianene D. Its structure was established on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, including application of 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. As part of a study of the bioactive compounds of medicinal plants from southern Brazil, we also compared the antimicrobial activity of the isolated compounds towards Gram (+), Gram (-) bacteria, and yeasts.
