Monoterpene indole alkaloids from the aerial parts of Ophiorrhiza brevidentata and their immunological activities
摘要
Phytochemical study of the EtOAc extract of Ophiorrhiza brevidentata resulted in the discovery of 10 new monoterpene indole alkaloids (1–10), along with 13 known compounds (11 − 23). Compound 1 possess an unprecedented skeleton consisting of fused 6/5/6/7/6 polycyclic systems. The structural characterization of these compounds was achieved using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Mass Spectrometry and Quantum Chemical Calculations. Compounds 3–5 and 9 exhibited strong inhibition on lipopolysaccharide-induced B cell proliferation with IC50 values ranging from 3.6–9.1 µM with excellent selectivity indices (SI > 10).
