Description:
Three monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), tabernabovines A–C (1–3), were isolated from Tabernaemontana bovina. They were elucidated by spectroscopic data and computational calculations. Unlike precursors of MIAs, strictosidine and alstrostine A, alkaloid 1 consists of tryptamine and secologanin in a 2:1 ratio. Alkaloid 2 is a cage compound, and 3 possesses a bridged ring. Tabernabovine A exhibited inhibitory activity against NO production with IC50 44.1 μM compared to l-NMMA with IC50 of 48.6 μM.
