Effects of strychnopentamine on cells cultured in vitro<br />

1991<br />

Chemico-Biological Interactions<br />

80(2): 203-216<br />

Abstract<br />

This paper describes <strong>the</strong> powerful cytotoxic action exerted by strychnopentamine (SP), a dimeric<br />

indole alkaloid extracted from <strong>Strychnos</strong> usambarensis Gilg, on B16 melanoma cells and on noncancer<br />

human fibroblasts cultured in vitro. SP strongly inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell<br />

death at a relatively low concentration (< 1-mu-g/ml) after 72 h of treatment in <strong>the</strong> two lines.<br />

Incorporation of [H-3]thymidine and [H-3]leucine by B16 cells significantly decreases after only 1 h<br />

of treatment at 0.5-mu-g/ml. SP induces <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mation of dense lamellar bodies and vacuolization in<br />

<strong>the</strong> cytoplasm, intense blebbing at <strong>the</strong> cell surface and various cytological alterations leading to cell<br />

Matadine, a cytotoxic alkaloid from <strong>Strychnos</strong> gossweileri<br />

1991<br />

Phytochemistry<br />

30(5): 1697-1700<br />

Abstract<br />

Matadine, a new alkaloid, has been isolated from <strong>the</strong> root bark of <strong>Strychnos</strong> gossweileri.<br />

Elucidation of its structure is mainly based on 1D and 2D NMR studies. Its cytotoxic activity has<br />

b een tested in vitro on cancer cells and normal cells.
