Gelsemium alkaloids, immunosuppressive agents from Gelsemium elegans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bioassay-guided isolation of the stems of Gelsemium elegans has led to the isolation of two new Gelsemium alkaloids, 21-(2-oxopropyl)-koumine (1) and 11-methoxygelselegine (2), and two known alkaloids, koumine (3) and gelselegine (4). The structures of 1-2 were determined by spectroscopic (for both) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (for 1) analysis. All compounds isolated were evaluated for their potential as immunosuppressive agents and the data suggested that Gelsemium alkaloids of different structural types possibly have potential as immunosuppressive agents.

Four new gelsedine-type indole alkaloids (1-4) were isolated from the leaves of Gelsemium elegans, together with 11 known alkaloids. The structures were determined as 14-acetoxygelsenicine (1), 14-acetoxy-15-hydroxygelsenicine (2), 14-hydroxy-19-oxogelsenicine (3), and 14-acetoxygelselegine (4), respectively, by spectroscopic analysis. The cytotoxic effects of 14 Gelsemium alkaloids including t...
متن کاملTwo new koumine-type indole alkaloids from Gelsemium elegans Benth.
Two new indole alkaloids, 21-oxokoumine (1) and furanokoumine (2), were isolated from the roots of Gelsemium elegans Benth together with three known compounds. The structures of the two novel compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including NMR, HR-ESI-MS, UV, IR, CD and molecular modeling. Compound 1 is the first instance of a koumine-type alkaloid with a carbonyl at the C-21 posi...
متن کاملEffect of Gelsemium elegans and Mussaenda pubescens, the Components of a Detoxification Herbal Formula, on Disturbance of the Intestinal Absorptions of Indole Alkaloids in Caco-2 Cells
Gelsemium elegans (GE) is a kind of well-known toxic plant. It can be detoxified by Mussaenda pubescens (MP), but the detoxification mechanism is still unclear. Thus, a detoxification herbal formula (GM) comprising GE and MP was derived. The Caco-2 cells monolayer model was used to evaluate GM effects on transporting six kinds of indole alkaloids of GE. The bidirectional transport studies demon...
متن کاملExperimental neuropharmacology of Gelsemium sempervirens: Recent advances and debated issues
Gelsemium sempervirens L. (Gelsemium) is traditionally used for its anxiolytic-like properties and its action mechanism in laboratory models are under scrutiny. Evidence from rodent models was reported suggesting the existence of a high sensitivity of central nervous system to anxiolytic power of Gelsemium extracts and Homeopathic dilutions. In vitro investigation of extremely low doses of this...
