Isolation of bis-indole alkaloids with antileishmanial and antibacterial activities from Peschiera van heurkii (syn. Tabernaemontana van heurkii).
Extracts from leaves and stem bark of Peschiera van heurkii (Muell. Arg.) L. Allorge (syn. Tabernaemontana van heurkii Muell. Arg., Apocynaceae) have been assayed for antileishmanial and antibacterial activities. The activities were concentrated in the alkaloid fractions which yielded 20 indole and bisindole alkaloids. The strongest leishmanicidal and antibacterial activities were observed with...
متن کاملCrystal structure of akuammicine, an indole alkaloid from Catharanthus roseus
The title compound, C20H22N2O2, an alkaloid isolated from the Madagascar periwinkle, crystallizes in P1 with two independent but closely similar mol-ecules in the unit cell. The mol-ecules are linked into pairs by two N-H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration was confirmed by anomalous dispersion effects as S at the 3 and 15 positions, and R at the 7 position.
متن کاملIndole alkaloid sulfonic acids from an aqueous extract of Isatis indigotica roots and their antiviral activity
Six new indole alkaloid sulfonic acids (1-6), together with two analogues (7 and 8) that were previously reported as synthetic products, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the Isatis indigotica root. Their structures including the absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic data analysis, combined with enzyme hydrolysis and comparison of experimental circular dichroism and ca...
متن کاملIndole Based Alkaloid in Cancer: An Overview
Indole alkaloids are well characterized for diverse activities. Meanwhile, the present scenario of disease depicting a different story, urge a call for novel scaffolds and pharmacophores. In recent years, indole based alkaloids gain significant importance in cancer chemotherapy and used as an adjuvant especially in case of Vinca alkaloids. These reports encourage the researchers for new finding...
متن کاملAntileishmanial Activity of Warifteine: A Bisbenzylisoquinoline Alkaloid Isolated from Cissampelos sympodialis Eichl. (Menispermaceae)
Leishmania (L.) chagasi is the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis, an important endemic zoonosis in the American continent, as well as in many other countries in Asia, Africa, and Mediterranean Europe. The treatment is difficult due to the high toxicity of the available drugs, high costs, and emergence of resistance in the parasites. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new leishmani...
