Nineteen individual hexalobines (diprenyl-substituted indoles) were isolated from petroleum ether and dichloromethane extracts of the stem bark of Hexalobus crispiflorus and H. monopetalus, respectively. The structures were established by spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations result from chiroptical measurements and from chemical interconversions. Various hexalobines exhibit significant antifungal activity.
