Summary:ABSTRACT Alstonia scho/aris R. Br., (Apocynaceae) is widely distributed in Indonesia and in Lombok Island, the plant locally known as "Iolon nita" has been used to treat malaria. To locate potential bioactive compounds, acid-base extrection was carried out. From the base fraction, two new indole alkaloids with diastomeric structure, named MataranineA and B, were isolated. The structures of the two alkaloids were elucidated on the basis of UV,NMR and mass spectral data. Keywords: alkaloids, Alstonia scholaris, Lombok, mataranine
