Abstract
A drug discovery program aimed at identifying new antimalarial leads from a prefractionated natural product library has resulted in the purification of a new quinoline alkaloid, (2' R)-2',3'-epoxy- N-methylatanine (1), along with eight known natural products, skimmianin, γ-fagarine, maculosidine, evolitrine, dictamnine, pteleine, N-methylatanine, and werneria chromene.
