Twenty four alkaloids have been isolated and identified from the root and stem barks of Strychnos longicaudata Gilg and Strychnos ngouniensis Pellegrin. Among these, 17 alkaloids are isolated for the first time; the novel bisindole series represented by longicaudatine includes now two other compounds: longicaudatines F and Y; besides ngouniensine, its epimer epingouniensine has been isolated along with two glucosyl-ngouniensines. Other new alkaloids include tubotaïwinal and several bases possessing the akuammicine skeleton. © 1983.
