α'-oxoperakensimines A-C, new bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids from Alseodaphne perakensis (Gamble) Kosterm

Three new bisbenzylisoquinolines, α'-oxoperakensimines A - C (1 -3) have been isolated from the bark of Alseodaphne perakensis (Gamble) Kosterm (Lauraceae). Their structures were elucidated by two-dimensional NMR techniques. α'-Oxoperakensimines A - C (1 - 3) showed vasorelaxant activity on rat aorta.
