Abstrakt: Voacafricines A and B, two unique monoterpenoid indole alkaloids each bearing five fused heterocycles, were obtained from the fruits of Voacanga africana. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods and computational studies. A plausible biogenetic pathway was proposed from a common precursor, 19- epi-voacristine. Both compounds exhibited potent activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi, and their activities were superior to those of the well-known antibacterial drugs berberine and fibrauretine.
