Aktivitas Sitotoksik Alkaloid Dari Cryptocarya Archboldiana Allen

Cryptocarya is one of the largest genus of Lauraceae and most of the species grow in the tropical rain forests of Asia-Pacific, include in Indonesian forest. Generally Cryptocarya contains alkaloids, 2-piron, and flavonoids as well as has a variety of biological activities. Three alkaloids have been isolated from Cryptocarya archboldiana; boldine, laurolitsine, and reticuline. The molecular structure of all these compounds have been established by spectroscopic analysis (UV, 1H, and 13C NMR) and comparison with the spectral data of compounds that have been reported. The cytotoxic of laurolitsine showed moderate activity, while boldine and reticuline have weak activity against P388 murine leukemia cells. Key words: C. archboldiana, alkaloid, cytotoxic, aporphine, benzylisoquinoline
