Abstract

Three new erythrina Alkaloids, (+)-10,11-dioxoerythratine (1), (+)-10,11-dioxoepierythratidine (2), and (+)-10,11-dioxoerythratidinone (3), and a new pterocarpan, 1-methoxyerythrabyssin II (4), were isolated from the bark of Erythrina subumbrans, together with seven known pterocarpans, erythrabyssin II, erybraedin A, erystagallin A, erycristagallin, erythrabissin-1, eryvarin A, and hydroxycristacarpone, three flavanones, 5-hydroxysophoranone, abyssinone V, and lespedezaflavanone B, three Triterpenes, sophoradiol, soyasapogenol B, and lupeol, and one isoflavanone, vogelin C. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Some isolates were tested for antiplasmodial, antimycobacterial, and cytotoxic activities.
