  abstract  = {Herein described is the discovery of three novel types of dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, named mbandakamines, cyclombandakamines, and spirombandakamines. They were found in the leaves of a botanically as yet unidentified, potentially new Ancistrocladus species, collected in the rainforest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Mbandakamines showed an exceptional 6′,1′′-coupling, in the peri-position neighboring one of the outer axes, leading to an extremely high steric hindrance at the central axis, and to U-turn-like molecular shape, which - different from all other dimeric NIQs, whose basic structures are all quite linear - brings three of the four bicyclic ring systems in close proximity to each other. This created an unprecedented follow-up chemistry, involving ring closure reactions, leading to two further, structurally even more intriguing subclasses, the cyclo- and the spirombandakamines, displaying eight stereogenic elements (the highest total number ever found in naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids). The metabolites exhibited pronounced antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activities. Likewise reported in this doctoral thesis are the isolation and structural elucidation of naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids from two further potentially new Ancistrocladus species from DRC. Some of these metabolites have shown pronounced antiausterity activities against human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells.},

  abstract  = {Die Afrikanische Schlafkrankheit ist eine tropische Infektionskrankheit und geh{\"o}rt zu den vernachl{\"a}ssigten Krankheiten. Am st{\"a}rksten von Schlafkrankheit betroffen ist die Demokratische Republik Kongo. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts war ihre Bek{\"a}mpfung von großem Interesse f{\"u}r die Kolonialm{\"a}chte und eine wirkungsvolle Bek{\"a}mpfung konnte erreicht werden. Nach der Unabh{\"a}ngigkeit der afrikanischen Staaten kam es jedoch erneut zu Ausbr{\"u}chen. Diese Arbeit analysiert die historische Entwicklung und den aktuellen Stand der Bek{\"a}mpfung und Kontrolle der Schlafkrankheit in der DR Kongo und untersucht Charakteristiken und Aufgabenbereiche aktueller nationaler und internationaler Organisationen anhand von ver{\"o}ffentlichter Literatur, Site Visits und Experteninterviews vor Ort.},
