Popis: Two new phenylpropanoids (1-2), one new nor-monoterpenoid alkaloid (3), one new monoterpene alkaloid (4), together with nine known compounds (5-13) were obtained from the branches of Alstonia scholaris. The structures of the undescribed compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Alkaloid 3 represented the first example of C-4 methylated nor-monoterpenoid alkaloids. A possible biosynthetic pathway for this new type of monoterpene alkaloids was proposed. All the isolates were evaluated for vasorelaxant activity against phenylephrine-induced contraction of rat mesenteric arteries. Compounds 1, 4, 9, 12, and 13 showed significant vasorelaxant activity with relaxation rates above 90% at 200 μM and exhibited moderate vasorelaxant activity with IC
