Methyl chanofruticosinates from leaves of Kopsia flavida Blume

Three new indole alkaloids with methyl chanofruticosinates skeletal system, viz., methyl 12-methoxy-N1-decarbomethoxychanofruticosinate, methyl 12-methoxychanofruticosinate and methyl 11,12-dimethoxychanofruticosinate, in addition to methyl 11,12-methylenedioxy-N1-decarbomethoxychanofruticosinate, have been isolated from the leaves of Kopsia flavida Blume. The structures of these three new indole alkaloids were assigned by NMR spectral data using various 2D-techniques.
