[PMID: 37073153 DOI: 10.2174/1389557523666230417083143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 04/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Natural products have optical activities with unusual structural characteristics or specific stereoselectivity, mostly including spiro-ring systems or quaternary carbon atoms. Expensive and time-consuming methods for natural product purification, especially natural products with bioactive properties, have encouraged chemists to synthesize those compounds in laboratories. Due to their significant role in drug discovery and chemical biology, natural products have become a major area of synthetic organic chemistry. Most medicinal ingredients available today are healing agents derived from natural resources, such as plants, herbs, and other natural products. METHODS Materials were compiled using the three databases of ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. For this study, only English-language publications have been evaluated based on their titles, abstracts, and full texts. RESULTS Developing bioactive compounds and drugs from natural products has remained challenging despite recent advances. A major challenge is not whether a target can be synthesized but how to do so efficiently and practically. Nature has the ability to create molecules in a delicate but effective manner. A convenient method is to imitate the biogenesis of natural products from microbes, plants, or animals for synthesizing natural products. Inspired by the mechanisms occurring in the nature, synthetic strategies facilitate laboratory synthesis of natural compounds with complicated structures. CONCLUSION In this review, we have elaborated on the recent syntheses of natural products conducted since 2008 and provided an updated outline of this area of research (Covering 2008-2022) using bioinspired methods, including Diels-Alder dimerization, photocycloaddition, cyclization, and oxidative and radical reactions, which will provide an easy access to precursors for biomimetic reactions. This study presents a unified method for synthesizing bioactive skeletal products.

Abstract
The structure and complete NMR assignments of aspidoreticulofractine, an aspidofractinine N-oxide, are reported. Its structure was elucidated based on a combination of spectroscopic techniques including 1D and 2D NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and electronic circular dichroism.

HRESIMS-guided isolation of aspidosperma-scandine type bisindole alkaloids from Melodinus cochinchinensis and their anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2021; 184:112673. [PMID: 33556841 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2021.112673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The Melodinus species have been proved to be good resources of bisindole alkaloids. Six bisindole alkaloids were isolated from the leaves and stems of Melodinus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. guided by HRESIMS data analysis. Among them, melokhanines K-M, epi-scandomelonine, and epi-scandomeline possessed aspidosperma-scandine skeleton linked by a C-C bond while meloyine II had a scandine-scandine skeleton. The structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis of their HRESIMS and NMR data. Melokhanines K-M were undescribed compounds, while epi-scandomelonine, epi-scandomeline and meloyine II were known compounds, which were reported from Melodinus species for the first time. The anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities of the isolates were also evaluated in vitro. Melokhanine K and meloyine II showed potent inhibitory activity on the production of nitric oxide, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages, whereas epi-scandomelonine and epi-scandomeline exhibited certain cytotoxic activity against MOLT-4 cells with IC50 values 5.2 and 1.5 μM, respectively.
