The crude methanolic extracts of Alstonia scholaris (L.) R. Brown demonstrated in vitro antituberculosis activity (89% inhibition against Myobacterium tuberculosis Hsub37Rv at 50 ug/mL) using Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA). Gradient pH fractionation of the alkaloids gave three alkaloid extracts, AsA, AsB and AsC, which exhibited 69%, 99% and 99% inhibition, respectively. Group separation by silica gel vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) of extracts AsA and AsB afforded fractions that showed 69-99% inhibition against the test myobacterium. The previously reported indole alkaloids -19, 20E-vallesamine (1), a mixture of angustilobine B N4-oxide (2) and n4- methyl angustilobine B (3), 20S-tubotaiwine (4), 6,7-seco-angustilobine B(5) and (+)-manilamine (6) from the most bioactive alkaloid fractions with 98-99% inhibition- showed weak activities. Among the six compounds, only alkaloid 4 demonstrated the highest activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 100 ug/mL. Compared with the standard rifampin (MIC 0.125 ug/mL), all alkaloids were considered inactive.
