Alstilobanines A-E, new indole alkaloids from Alstonia angustiloba.

Five new alkaloids, alstilobanines A (1)-E (5) were isolated from Alstonia angustiloba (Apocynaceae) and their structures were determined by MS and 2D NMR spectral analysis. Alstilobanines A-E showed a moderate vasorelaxant activity against phenylephrine-induced contraction of isolated rat aorta.
