Abstract

A comprehensive phytochemical study of the chemical constituents of green vegetable soybeans resulted in the isolation of two new alkaloids, soyalkaloid A, 1, and isoginsenine, 2, together with four known ones, ginsenine, 3, (1S,3S)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid, 4, (1R,3S)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid, 5, and indole-3-carboxylic acid, 6. The structures of compounds 1-6 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical analyses. All of the alkaloids were isolated from soybeans for the first time, and compound 1 was a new indole-type alkaloid with a novel carbocyclic skeleton. Their inhibitory activities on the proliferation of concanalin A-activated lymphocytes were assessed by CCK8 assay.
