Two previously undescribed monoterpenoid quinoline alkaloids, namely melotenucadines A and B, together with four known analogs, were characterized from the stems and leaves of Melodinus tenuicaudatus. The structures of the new compounds were established by extensive MS and NMR spectroscopic methods, while the absolute configuration was conducted by ECD calculations. Melotenucadine B was found to show certain cytotoxicity to MCF-7 cell (IC(50) =27.3 muM). CI - (c) 2022 Wiley-VHCA AG, Zurich, Switzerland.
