Exploration of Indole Alkaloids from Marine Fungus Pseudallescheria boydii F44-1 Using an Amino Acid-Directed Strategy

Marine Drugs, 2019
The composition of the culture medium has great influence on the metabolite production of the marine fungus Pseudallescheria boydii F44-1. By adding amino acids to GPY culture medium, two new bisindole alkaloids, pseudboindoles A and B (1 and 2 ...

Antemitotic activity of strychnopentamine, a bisindolic alkaloid

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1984
Strychnopentamine has been tested for its cytotoxic and antitumor activities and compared with two other bisindolic alkaloids that possess an usambarane skeleton. The presence of a N-methylpyrrolidine group increases the antimitotic activity of this type of alkaloids.

From Racemic to Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Trigonoliimines via Development of an Organocatalytic Enantioselective Michael Addition of ?-Aryl-?-isocyanoacetate to Vinyl Phenyl Selenone

CHIMIA, 2014
Trigonoliimines are hexacyclic bisindole alkaloids isolated recently by Hao and co-workers. A synthesis of (±)-trigonoliimine B was accomplished in seven steps from simple starting materials featuring the Bischler-Napieralski reaction for ...

C. elegans-based screen identifies lysosome-damaging alkaloids that induce STAT3-dependent lysosomal cell death

Protein & Cell, 2018
Lysosomes are degradation and signaling centers within the cell, and their dysfunction impairs a wide variety of cellular processes. To understand the cellular effect of lysosome damage, we screened natural small-molecule compounds that induce lysosomal ...

Biscarpamontamines A and B, an Aspidosperma−Iboga Bisindole Alkaloid and an Aspidosperma−Aspidosperma Bisindole Alkaloid, from Tabernaemontana sphaerocarpa

Journal of Natural Products, 2009
Two new bisindole alkaloids, biscarpamontamine A (1), possessing an aspidosperma-iboga-type skeleton, and biscarpamontamine B (2), having an aspidosperma-aspidosperma-type skeleton, were isolated from stems of Tabernaemontana sphaerocarpa, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis.
