Abstract
Rauvolfia mannii is a plant from western and eastern areas of African continent and is widely used in folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases including malaria. Herein, one previously undescribed acylated triterpene (1), together with five already published natural products (2-6) were removed from its roots. The chemical structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic and spectrometric means (NMR, HRESIMS, IR and UV). In addition to the isolated triterpenoids, components 5 and 6 are also newly reported from the genus Rauvolfia. Moreover, some constituents were further tested against the chloroquine-sensitive strain of P. falciparum (3D7). It has been found that 3 and 4 showed a moderate antiplasmodial activity with IC50 values of 46.25 and 39.79 µM respectively.

Abstract
Five undescribed carboxy-indole alkaloids with corynanthe skeleton, penduflorines A-E (1-3) as well as a voacangine-N-oxide alkaloid, tabernaemontine (4), were isolated along with eight other known compounds (5-12) from the trunk bark of Tabernaemontana penduliflora K. Schum (Apocynaceae). Their structures were determined by means of spectroscopic and spectrometric methods such as UV, IR, NMR and HR-ESI-MS. Antiplasmodial activities of new isolates were evaluated against two strains of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 and Dd2 by the Sybr green I-based fluorescence assay setup. Those compounds showed good in vitro activities. Among them, penduflorines A and B (1a and 1b) as well as tabernaemontine (4) showed significant inhibitory activities against the two strains with IC50 values ranged between 1.85 and 7.88 μg/mL. This is the first report of quaternary-N-indole alkaloids (1a, 1b, 2, 3a, 3b and 4) occurring in the form of zwitterion from Tabernaemontana genus.
