Alistonitrine A, a new monoterpene indole alkaloid incorporating a third nitrogen atom, was isolated from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris and found to possess an unprecedented caged skeleton with a unique 6/5/6/5/5/6 ring system. Its structure and absolute configuration were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses and electron circular dichroism calculations. A plausible biogenetic pathway has been proposed for the biosynthesis of alistonitrine A from picrinine.
阿利斯顿碱 A 是一种新型的单萜吲哚生物碱,它包含第三个氮原子,从阿利斯顿氏树的叶子中分离出来,被发现具有前所未有的笼状骨架和独特的 6/5/6/5/5/6 环系统。通过广泛的光谱分析和电子圆二色性计算,确定了它的结构和绝对构型。从 picrinine 生物合成 alistonitrine A 的可能生物发生途径也已提出。
