Two new alkaloids, dehydronitraramine ( 1 ) and N ‐formylmyrionine ( 2 ) were isolated from the leaves of Myrioneuron nutans , and their structures were determined from spectroscopic analysis, including mass spectrometry and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy. The absolute configuration 8 S , 9 R , 10 S of N ‐formylmyrionine ( 2 ) was established by N ‐formylation of the known (8 S ,9 R ,10 S )‐myrionine and then comparison of the optical rotation of the natural N ‐formylmyrionine ( 2 ) with that of the semi‐synthetic (8 S ,9 R ,10 S )‐ N ‐formylmyrionine. Dehydronitraramine ( 1 ) displayed a moderate antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with an IC 50 value of 16 μ M , whereas both 1 and 2 showed a weak cytotoxicity against KB cells.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
