Abstract

From the bulbs of Crinum amabile (Amaryllidaceae), a new alkaloid (-)-amabiline [1], together with the known alkaloids (-)-lycorine [2], (-)-buphanisine [3], (-)-augustine [4], and (+)-crinamine [5], were isolated. The structural characterization of 1 and the revised 1H- and 13C-nmr assignments of 2 are discussed. Alkaloids 2, 4, and 5 were found to be the principal cytotoxic and antimalarial constituents.
