Literature evidence Four pairs of stereoisomeric indole alkaloids, (±)-baphicacanthcusines A-D (1-4), and one new indole alkaloid, baphicacanthcusine E (5), together with nine known compounds were identified from the leaves of Baphicacanthus cusia. (±)-1 and -2 possess an unprecedented skeleton in which two indole moieties are bridged by a phenylpropane unit. (±)-3 represents the first natural dispiro-oxazolidinone bisoxindoles.
