Abstract

Four new Carbazole Alkaloids, clausenawallines C-F (1-4), along with 18 known compounds (5-22) were isolated from the roots of Clausena wallichii. Compounds 3, 9, and 22 exhibited significant Antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus SK1 (MRSA SK1) and Staph. aureus TISTR 1466 with MIC values in the range 4-16 μg/mL, whereas compound 4 showed the highest cytotoxicity against oral cavity Cancer (KB) and small-cell lung Cancer (NCI-H187) with IC(50) values of 10.2 and 4.5 μM, respectively.
