Abstract

The isolation of two new oxindole alkaloids, cyclopiamine A and B, from Penicillium cyclopium is described. The chemical and spectral properties of cyclopiamine B are interpreted in terms of the constitution and relative stereochemistry (2a) of the compound as determined by X-ray structure analysis. The enantiomeric relationship between cyclopiamine A(1) and B(2a) at C(22) is established on the basis of chemical studies.
