RESUMO
Four new tetracyclic triterpenoids (1-4) were isolated from the leaves and twigs of Jatropha gossypiifolia. Their structures were elucidated by MS and NMR data analysis, together with the Mo2(OAc)4-induced CD data. Jagabeoeuphols A-C (1-3) are rare 19(10 â 9)abeo-euphane-type triterpenoids possessing a Δ5(10) group and a 7,8-epoxide moiety, and jagoseuphone A (4) is a typical euphane-type triterpenoid. The inhibitory effects of 1-4 on nitric oxide production induced by lipopolysaccharide in RAW264.7 cells were evaluated, and 4 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 20.1 µM.

Twenty-seven monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) including three new ones were isolated from the plant of Rhazya stricta. Their structures were elucidated by analyses of HRMS and NMR data. Secopleiocarpamine A (1) represents a novel 2,3-seco pleiocarpamine type MIA possessing a cyano group. A possible biosynthetic pathway for 1 was postulated. All compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against six Candida strains, and the results showed that 2, 5, 12, 21, 23, and 27 exhibited moderate inhibitory activities with MIC values ranging from 3.125 to 50⯵g/mL.
