Abstract
Extraction of the aerial part of Rinorea yaundensis has led to the isolation of a new monoterpene indole alkaloid (1) along with 10 known compounds (2–11) for the first time from this plant. Their structures were determined by HRMS and NMR spectroscopic analyses as yaundentine hydrochloride (1), Nb-oxide of iso-reserpiline (2), iso-reserpiline (3), iso-carapanaubine (4), lichenxanthone (5), stigmastane-3,6-dione (6), methyl β-orcinol carboxylate (7), β−sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucoside (8), betulinic acid (9), ursolic acid (10) and benzoic acid (11) while the stereochemistry and absolute configuration of 1 was confirmed by single crystal x-ray crystallography and circular dichroism CD spectrum. Yaundentine hydrochloride (1) exhibited pronounced antioxidant, urease and lipoxygenase inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 35.6 ± 0.23, 20.3 ± 0.58 and 29.6 ± 0.77 µM, respectively. Compound 1 also showed good antimicrobial activity against some Gram positive and negative bacteria.
