Popis: The C-8-( S ) isomer of deoxyloganic acid (7-deoxyloganic acid), together with β-sitosteryl glucoside, five known stereoisomeric pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids and the tetracyclic oxindole isorhyncophylline, were isolated from the inner bark of Uncaria tomentosa . Structures of the isolated compounds were based on 1 H and 13 C NMR data, mainly 2D NMR experiments, including 1 H– 13 C HMBC and 1 H– 1 H NOESY correlation. Furthermore, the hitherto unreported 15 N chemical shifts of the isomeric oxindole alkaloids, using 1 H– 15 N HMBC experiments, were utilized to facilitate their characterization. Uncarine D showed weak cytotoxic activity against SK-MEL, KB, BT-549 and SK-OV-3 cell lines with IC 50 values between 30 and 40 μg/ml, while uncarine C exhibited weak cytotoxicity only against ovarian carcinoma (IC 50 at 37 μg/ml).
