Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. This is the first report of alkaloids 1-2 and 5-6 from the genus Dasymaschalon. Compounds 1 and 5 showed cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cell lines.Mahidol UniversityAgricultural and Biological SciencesMedicinePharmacology, Toxicology and PharmaceuticsCytotoxic alkaloids from leaves and twigs of Dasymaschalon sootepenseArticleSCOPUS
