This study reports the isolation of three new C diterpenoid alkaloids, Chitralinine A-C (-) from the aerial parts of . Their structures were established on the basis of latest spectral techniques and single crystal X-rays crystallographic studies of chitralinine A described basic skeleton of these compounds. All the isolated Compounds (-) showed strong, competitive type inhibition against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in comparison to standard allanzanthane and galanthamine however, chitralinine-C remained the most potent with IC value of 11.64 ± 0.08 μM against AChE, and 24.31 ± 0.33 μM against BChE, respectively. The molecular docking reflected a binding free energy of -16.400 K Cal-mol for chitralinine-C, having strong interactions with active site residues, TYR334, ASP72, SER122, and SER200. The overall findings suggest that these new diterpenoid alkaloids could serve as lead drugs against dementia-related diseases including Alzheimer's disease.
本研究报告了三种新的 C 二萜生物碱,即 (-) 从 的地上部分分离出来。它们的结构是基于最新的光谱技术和对 chitralinine A 的单晶 X 射线晶体学研究建立的,描述了这些化合物的基本骨架。所有分离出的化合物 (-) 与标准的 allanzanthane 和 galanthamine 相比,对乙酰胆碱酯酶 (AChE) 和丁酰胆碱酯酶 (BChE) 表现出强烈的、竞争性抑制作用,但 chitralinine-C 的抑制作用最强,对 AChE 的 IC 值为 11.64 ± 0.08 μM,对 BChE 的 IC 值为 24.31 ± 0.33 μM。分子对接反映了 chitralinine-C 的结合自由能为-16.400 K Cal-mol,与活性位点残基 TYR334、ASP72、SER122 和 SER200 有很强的相互作用。总的来说,这些新的二萜生物碱可能可以作为治疗与痴呆相关疾病的药物,包括阿尔茨海默病。
