| Abstract : Globospiramine (1), a new spirobisindole alkaloid possessing an Aspidosperma-Aspidosperma skeleton, together with deoxyvobtusine (2), deoxyvobtusine lactone (3), vobtusine lactone (4) and lupeol (5), were isolated and identified from Voacanga globosa through a bioassay-guided purification. The gross structure and absolute stereochemistry of 1 were established by circular dichroism spectroscopy, HR-MS and unambiguous NMR spectroscopic experiments. In addition, a new biogenetic pathway for the formation of the spiro-Aspidosperma-Aspidosperma skeleton is proposed. Alkaloid 1 showed potent antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv as evidenced in microplate Alamar blue assay (MIC = 4 mug/mL) and low-oxygen recovery assay (LORA (MIC = 5.2 mug/mL). The bisindole alkaloids also exhibited promising activity against acetylcholinesterase and, especially butyrylcholinesterase, with deoxyvobtusine (2) (IC(50) = 6.2 muM) as the most strongly inhibiting compound. This study extends the variety of alkaloid structural platforms which exhibit antimycobacterial and anticholinesterase activity. |
