Two separate commercial products of kratom [ (Korth.) Havil. Rubiaceae] were used to generate reference standards of its indole and oxindole alkaloids. While kratom has been studied for over a century, the characterization data in the literature for many of the alkaloids are either incomplete or inconsistent with modern standards. As such, full H and C NMR spectra, along with HRESIMS and ECD data, are reported for alkaloids -. Of these, four new alkaloids (, , , and ) were characterized using 2D NMR data, and the absolute configurations of , , and were established by comparison of experimental and calculated ECD spectra. The absolute configuration for the (4)-oxide () was established by comparison of NMR and ECD spectra of its reduced product with those for compound . In total, 19 alkaloids were characterized, including the indole alkaloid mitragynine () and its diastereoisomers speciociliatine (), speciogynine (), and mitraciliatine (); the indole alkaloid paynantheine () and its diastereoisomers isopaynantheine () and epiallo-isopaynantheine (); the (4)-oxides mitragynine-(4)-oxide (), speciociliatine-(4)-oxide (), isopaynantheine-(4)-oxide (), and epiallo-isopaynantheine-(4)-oxide (); the 9-hydroxylated oxindole alkaloids speciofoline (), isorotundifoleine (), and isospeciofoleine (); and the 9-unsubstituted oxindoles corynoxine A (), corynoxine B (), 3-epirhynchophylline (), 3-epicorynoxine B (), and corynoxeine (). With the ability to analyze the spectroscopic data of all of these compounds concomitantly, a decision tree was developed to differentiate these kratom alkaloids based on a few key chemical shifts in the H and/or C NMR spectra.
两种不同的咔特(Korth.)哈维尔。茜草科商业产品被用来生成其吲哚和吲哚型生物碱的参考标准。虽然咔特已经研究了一个多世纪,但文献中许多生物碱的特征化数据要么不完整,要么与现代标准不一致。因此,报告了生物碱的完整 H 和 C NMR 谱,以及 HRESIMS 和 ECD 数据。其中,通过二维 NMR 数据对四种新生物碱(、、和)进行了特征描述,并通过比较实验和计算 ECD 光谱确定了、和的绝对构型。通过比较其还原产物与化合物的 NMR 和 ECD 光谱,确定了(4)-氧化物()的绝对构型。总共鉴定了 19 种生物碱,包括吲哚生物碱美托拉林()及其差向异构体斯皮乔林()、斯皮戈林()和米特拉吉林();吲哚生物碱 paynantheine()及其差向异构体异帕纳坦林()和表阿洛异帕纳坦林();(4)-氧化物美托拉林-(4)-氧化物()、斯皮乔林-(4)-氧化物()、异帕纳坦林-(4)-氧化物()和表阿洛异帕纳坦林-(4)-氧化物();9-羟基氧化吲哚生物碱 speciofoline()、异罗通定酚()和异斯皮戈林();以及 9-未取代的氧化吲哚 corynoxine A()、corynoxine B()、3-epirhynchophylline()、3-epicorynoxine B()和 corynoxeine()。由于能够同时分析所有这些化合物的光谱数据,因此开发了一个决策树,以便根据 H 和/或 C NMR 光谱中的几个关键化学位移来区分这些咔特生物碱。
