Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the bark of Guatteria friesiana afforded 12 new aporphines (1-12), along with nine known Alkaloids (13-21). The structures of the new Alkaloids were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretation. The cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds against a small panel of tumor cell lines was assessed using the Alamar blue assay.
