Описание

The alkaloids vincosamide and strictosamide are an important class of indole ring- containing alkaloids. They were extracted and differentiated from the root bark of Nauclea latifolia belonging to the family Rubiaceae. Both the compounds were tested for anti-HSV-2 activity for both acyclovir-sensitive and acyclovir-resistant HSV-2 strains and showed good anti-HSV-2 potential.
