RESUMO
Five dimeric Erythrina alkaloids, named erythrivarines J-N, were isolated from the barks of Erythrina variegata L. (Fabaceae). The erythrivarines J-L featured a 6/6/5/6/6/5/6/6/6 ring system and super conjugated double bond systems, causing intense color from blue to wine red, while erythrivarines M-N looked orange. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments combined with MS and confirmed by the X-ray crystal diffraction technique. The performed bioassay using HEI-OC-1 cells revealed neuroprotective properties of erythrivarine N against the hearing loss causing antibiotics, neomycin.

Continued interest in bioactive monoterpenoid indole alkaloids and the purpose to explore the artificial cultivation influence on the chemical composition in the same plant species, 8 undescribed Aspidosperma-type alkaloids including two unprecedented trimers, taberdivarines A-B (1-2), and six new dimers, taberdivarines CH (3-8), together with 9 known bisindoles were isolated from the leaves of Tabernaemontana divaricata 'Dwaft'. Notably, taberdivarines A and B were the first cases of Aspidosperma-Aspidosperma-Aspidosperma-type alkaloids with furan ring linkage patterns of the natural products. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analyse. Compounds 1-8 were screened for the cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines, SMMC-7721, HT-29 and A549. Among them, Compound 6 exhibited significant activity against three cell lines with IC50 values of 0.30, 0.75 and 3.41 µM, respectively (IC50 = 3.02, 0.14 and 2.23 µM for the positive control, vinorelbine). Compound 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 also expressed varying degrees of activity. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of these alkaloids were discussed.

Four new ursane-type triterpenoids named rosaroxine A-D and 21 known compounds were identified from Rosa roxburghii fruits. The structures of all compounds were established by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The phenolics catechin (EC50 13.4 µM), quercetin (13.1 µM), gallic acid (10.0 µM), and protocatechuic acid (15.2 µM) were identified as powerful in vitro antioxidants with EC50 values lower than ascorbic acid (31.3 µM). The triterpenoids rosaroxine C (EC50 37.4; 40.3 µM) and 2-oxo-pomolic acid (16.6; 28.2) and the phenolics catechin (53.3; 29.0), quercetin (18.8; 33.1), and gallic acid (26.3; 40.0) exerted partly higher activities in the cyclo-oxygenase (COX 1/2) assay than the positive control acetaminophen (EC50 45.0; >100 µM). The triterpenoids rosaroxine C and 2-oxo-pomolic acid also performed well in the anti-aging assay using HaCaT cells. Quantification of the bioactive compounds by LC-MS revealed concentrations of 3.08 mg kg-1 rosaroxine C, 17.40 mg kg-1 2-oxo-pomolic acid, 76.29 mg kg-1 catechin, and 5.58 mg kg-1 protocatechuic acid in the dried fruits. Overall, this work provides detailed phytochemical information, and the results from the accomplished bioassay point toward health promoting properties of these fruits.

Thirteen undescribed dimeric Erythrina alkaloids, named as erythrivarines A1-A13, were isolated from the barks of Erythrina variegata L. and. Their structures were determined on the basis of NMR, UV and mass spectral analyses. Dimeric Erythrina alkaloid with a C-8/8' linkage in erythrivarine A1 was not yet reported. Representative dimers from titled plant were used to prove their occurrence as natural products by LC - MS detection. Additionally, simultaneous investigation enabled us to propose the natural property of seemingly artificial Erythrina alkaloid with acetonyl group.

Seventeen undescribed Aspidosperma-type alkaloids (ASPs), along with nine known ones were isolated from the leaves of Tabernaemontana bovina. Taberbovermines A and B were assigned to tabersonine-type with a contracted A- and E-ring, respectively. Taberbovermine C was attributed to tabersonine without D ring. These structures of the ASPs were established on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism calculations and X-ray diffraction. The summaries of structure-activity relationship of tabersonine class were discussed based on hepatoma cells screening.

Three hitherto undescribed Stemona alkaloids, named stemajapines A-C (1-3), along with six known alkaloids (4-9), were isolated and identified from the roots of Stemona japonica (Blume) Miq. (Stemonaceae). Their structures were established by the analysis of the mass data, NMR spectra, and computational chemistry. Stemjapines A and B were degraded maistemonines without spiro-lactone ring and skeletal methyl from maistemonine. Concurrence of alkaloids 1 and 2 revealed an undescribed way to form diverse Stemona alkaloids. Bioassay results disclosed the anti-inflammatory natural constituents stemjapines A and C with IC50 values of 19.7 and 13.8 µM, respectively, compared to positive control dexamethasone with 11.7 µM. The findings may point out a new direction of Stemona alkaloids inaddition to its traditional antitussive and insecticide activities.
RESUMO
The root of Dactylicapnos scandens (D.Don.) Hutch (Papaveraceae), one of the most famous ethno-medicinal plants from the Bai communities in P. R. China, is used to treat various inflammations and tumours. Bioassay-guided phytochemical research on D. scandens followed by semi-synthesis led to a series of undescribed tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids with dual inhibitory activities against indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO). The previously undescribed dark-green alkaloid dactycapnine A exhibited the best dual inhibitor effects among the identified compounds. Structure-activity relationship analysis revealed the importance of the base skeleton with a hyperconjugation system. The performed semi-synthesis further yielded bioactive dimeric and trimeric compounds with hyperconjugated systems. Performed STD NMR experiments disclosed direct interactions between dactycapnine A and IDO1/TDO. Inhibition kinetics indicated dactycapnine A as a mixed-type dual inhibitor. These findings provided a possible explanation for the anticancer properties of the ethno-medicinal plant species D. scandens.

Five undescribed alkaloids were isolated from the seeds of Cephalotaxus oliveri along with 27 known ones. The new structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic data including 1D and 2D NMR, MS and calculated ECD spectra. Among them, (+)-acetylcephalofortine C was an enantiomeric Cephalotaxine alkaloids. The performed bioassay revealed that those alkaloids were not cytotoxic against cancer cells and had no neuroprotective properties in the HEI-OC-1 cells model.
RESUMO
Ten dimeric and two monomeric Erythrina alkaloids, all of them are undescribed, were isolated from the bark of Erythrina variegata L. and named as erythrivarines O-Z. Their structures were determined on the basis of NMR and UV-spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Dimeric Erythrina alkaloids with a C-10/11' linkage in erythrivarine O and a C-7/10' connectivity in erythrivarines P-U are not yet reported. The two identified monomeric alkaloids may be the precursors of the described dimeric derivatives. These co-occurring dimeric and monomeric alkaloids enabled us to propose a possible biosynthetic pathway leading to these dimers. Their effects of preventing hearing loss were additionally evaluated and erythrivarine T showed as a potential protector of the House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC-1) cells against neomycin.

Thirty-one Vincan- and two Eburnan-type alkaloids were isolated from the aerial parts of Tabernaemontana bovina, whereas 20 of them are described the first time. Within the purified alkaloids, the firstly described taberbovcamine A features a 6/5/6/6/5 ring system. All the chemical structures were elucidated by employing extensive spectroscopic, computational electronic circular dichroism and X-ray diffraction methods. The two Eburnan-type alkaloids, 10,11-dimethoxy-16-O-methyllisoeburnamenine and 10,11-dimethoxy-isoeburnamenine were simultaneously identified by using the mentioned spectroscopic methods. Within the identified alkaloids, 10-hydroxy-14,15-didehydrovincanmine, 14,15-didehydrovincanmine, 14,15-didehydroapovincanmine, and criocerine increased the glucose consumption in a L6 myotube model.

RESUMO
Meloyunnanines A-C, three alkaloids with an unprecedented skeleton, were isolated from fruits of Melodinus yunnanensis. The structures featuring a caged-6/6/5/6/5/5 ring system were elucidated by the analysis of comprehensive spectroscopic and X-ray data. Biosynthetically, meloyunnanines A-C were assigned to monoterpenoid quinoline alkaloids (MQAs), derived from monoterpenoid indole alkaloids through oxidation and rearrangement. These compounds together with three known Melodinus MQAs were evaluated for their neurotrophic activity and scandine N4-oxide exhibited significant effect.
