A reinvestigation of Strychnos icaja roots has resulted in the isolation of two tertiary quasi-symmetric bisindole alkaloids named strychnogucines A (1) and B (2). Their structures were identified by means of spectroscopic data interpretation. Compound 2 was highly active in vitro and compound 1 moderately active against four strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Strychnogucine B (2) was more active against a chloroquine-resistant strain than against a chloroquine-sensitive one (best CI(50), 80 nM against the W2 strain). In addition, this compound showed a selective antiplasmodial activity with 25-180 times greater toxicity toward P. falciparum, relative to cultured human cancer cells (KB) or human fibroblasts (WI38).
