Two new pregnane alkaloids, wrightiamines A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the extract of the tropical Apocynaceous plant Wrightia javanica collected in Thailand, and their structures were elucidated by spectral data. Wrightiamine B (2) was preparaed from 3β-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one to establish the configuration of the C-20 position as S. Wrightiamine A (1) exhibited cytotoxic activity against vincristine-resistant murine leukemia P388 cells.

The marked inversion of properties such as polarity and basicity observed within a couple of epimeric 20-aminopregnanes carrying an ethylene acetal function at 12, compared with the corresponding couples carrying a ketone function at 12 or those lacking substitution at 12, is the result of a hydrogen bond between the acetal and the amine functions as shown by 1H and 13C NMR analyses.
