Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic techniques. Trifilines A (1) and B (2) showed weak anti-HIV-1 activity with EC50 values of 54.61 ¦Ìg/mL and 9.75 ¦Ìg/mL, along with TI (Therapeutic index) values of 1.52 and 1.42, respectively. This is the first time to report the chemical constituents of Trigonostemon filipes. %K Trigonostemon filipes %K Trigonostemon lii %K ¦Â-carboline alkaloids %K trifilines A-C %K trigonoine C %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13659-012-0028-x
