A new indole alkaloid and new C 19 and C 20 skeleton quassinoids were isolated from the wood of Ailanthus malabarica. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and X-ray analysis. In addition, six known alkaloids, canthin-6-one, canthin-6-one-3- N-oxide, 1-hydroxycanthin-6-one, 1-ethyl-β-car...
