Six new Daphniphyllum alkaloids, calyciphyllines H-M (1-6), were isolated from the leaves and stems of Daphniphyllum calycinum (Daphniphyllaceac). The structures and relative stereochemistry of 1-6 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, and the absolute stereochemistry of 3 was assigned by PGME method. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
