Abstract

Twenty-one aspidosperma-aspidosperma alkaloids, including the new tabernaesines A-J (1-9), were obtained from Tabernaemontana pachysiphon. The structures and absolute configurations were elucidated using HRMS and NMR experiments. Compounds 1-9 possessed a rare spiro heterocycle moiety between the monomeric units, while compounds 4 and 5 were characterized by an indole ring fused with an (N,N-diethyl)methyl amino group. Compounds 1, 5-7, 15, and 16 exhibited moderate cytotoxic potency against various human cancer cell lines at IC 2.5-9.8 μM.
