Chemical Studies of Indole Alkaloids
Up to now, more than two thousands indole alkaloids having structural variety have been found from the three families of Gentianales: Loganiaceae, Apocynaceae, and Rubiaceae plants. These compounds generally possess characteristic biological activities and many of them are utilized for the medicinal purpose and for the lead-compounds to develop new ...

Oxygen Attachment Dissociation of Protonated Reserpine and Its Analogs
ABSTRACT Rationale Carbon–carbon double bonds are ubiquitous structural motifs in natural products and pose a key challenge in locating their presence in analytes via MS‐based methods. Here, we use the alkaloid reserpine as a model system to examine whether OAD reactions can locate quaternary double bonds embedded in fused multicyclic structures ...

Heterogeneous‐catalyzed selective and versatile hydrogenative functionalizations of phthalimides have been developed for the first time. By using a solid nanocomposite formed by [Ag/Al2O3] material in combination with [H‐BETA] zeolite as cocatalyst, a broad range of 3‐functionalized isoindolinones have been accesed in one‐pot from phthalimides, H2 and ...

The enantioselective synthesis of naphthocoumarin adducts via a tandem organocatalytic 1,4‐addition/decarboxylation delivers excellent control over a newly forged stereocenter and yields configurationally stable synclinal atropisomers. The process features broad substrate scope and scalability, and its structural and mechanistic foundations are ...

Natural compounds regulate gut microbiota by improving microbial balance and increasing probiotics, which boost short‐chain fatty acid production to alleviate insulin resistance and inflammation. Additionally, they stimulate appetite‐suppressing hormones through bile acid signaling, while inhibiting pathogenic bacteria to repair intestinal barrier ...

ABSTRACT Ergot alkaloids (EAs), toxic secondary metabolites produced by Claviceps purpurea, pose food and feed safety concerns for cereal grains, particularly rye and wheat. While EAs are most frequently associated with rye, their occurrence in other cereals has been increasingly reported across diverse regions.

ABSTRACT The synthesis and accumulation of active ingredients in medicinal plants are distributed in specific organs, tissues, and cell types, which are important for the exploitation of medicinal plants. However, the fine distribution of active ingredients is difficult to know. Here, the system of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) integrated with single‐

A gram‐scale supply of bulbiferamide A, which features a rare N‐acylindole linkage and possesses potent inhibitory activity against Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes (IC50 = 4.1 µM)—the causative parasite of Chagas disease—was successfully achieved. Moreover, the cyclization strategy developed in this study facilitated the synthesis of noncanonical ...
