Five previously undescribed monoterpenoid indole alkaloids were isolated from the roots of Gelsemium elegans. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by HRESIMS, X-ray diffraction, ECD spectra, and molecular modeling. 19,20-Epoxyhumantenine is a humantenine-type alkaloid with an epoxypropyl group at the C-20 position, (4R)-19-oxo-gelsevirine N-oxide is a gelsemine-related alkaloid, and gelsedethenine is a gelsedine-type alkaloid with a butenyl group at the C-20 position. Moreover, 10,11-dimethoxy-N-demethoxy-gelsemamide is an open-loop indole alkaloid and 11-demethoxy-gelsemazonamide is an aromatic azo-linked dimeric indole alkaloid. Among the five alkaloids, (4R)-19-oxo-gelsevirine N-oxide and 10,11-dimethoxy-N-demethoxy-gelsemamide exhibited significant inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, with IC values of 6.18 ± 1.07 and 12.2 ± 1.02 μM, respectively.
从钩吻根部分离得到了 5 种以前未描述的单萜吲哚生物碱。通过高分辨质谱、X 射线衍射、ECD 光谱和分子建模确定了它们的结构和绝对构型。19,20-环氧胡蔓藤碱是一种胡蔓藤碱型生物碱，在 C-20 位有一个环氧丙基；（4R）-19-氧代钩吻绿宁 N-氧化物是一种钩吻绿宁相关的生物碱；钩吻斯定碱是一种 C-20 位有丁烯基的钩吻斯定型生物碱。此外，10,11-二甲氧基-N-去甲氧基钩吻酰胺是一种开环吲哚生物碱，11-去甲氧基钩吻沙林酰胺是一种芳基偶氮连接的二聚吲哚生物碱。在这 5 种生物碱中，（4R）-19-氧代钩吻绿宁 N-氧化物和 10,11-二甲氧基-N-去甲氧基钩吻酰胺对脂多糖诱导的 RAW 264.7 巨噬细胞中一氧化氮的产生有显著的抑制作用，IC 值分别为 6.18±1.07 和 12.2±1.02 μM。
