Abstract
Dibenzopyrrocoline alkaloids, found in lauraceous and hernandiaceous plants, have been studied since the 1950s. The absolute configuration of these alkaloids, including cryptaustoline, has been a topic of debate due to conflicting studies. Having in our laboratory some authentic samples of dibenzopyrrocoline-type Cryptocarya alkaloids, we decided to reinvestigate their absolute configuration using modern spectroscopic techniques along with TDDFT calculations. The NMR reinvestigation of the authentic sample of cryptowolinol led us to revise its relative configuration using ML-J-DP4 and DP4+ analyses. Moreover, the absolute configuration of all dibenzopyrrocoline alkaloids reported to date benefitted from a complete re-evaluation based on a comparison with TDDFT-SR and TDDFT-ECD predictions leading to a unified absolute configuration. At last, this patrimonial reinvestigation unveiled a historical sample corresponding to a heretofore unpublished dibenzopyrrocoline alkaloid, which we named isocryptaustoline. The reisolation of this molecule from the total alkaloid extract of Cryptocarya oubatchensis makes it a genuine natural product.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
