hodgkinsine/psychotria

To further understand the mechanism of analgesic activity and structural requirements of pyrrolidinoindoline alkaloids identified in Psychotria colorata, we here report the analgesic activity of the trimer hodgkinsine on thermal and chemical models of analgesia. Results show that hodgkinsine

Fractionation of an alkaloid extract of Psychotria colorata flowers led to the isolation of six alkaloids, identified by UV, 1D and 2D NMR, and MS as (-)-calycanthine, isocalycanthine, (+)-chimonanthine, hodgkinsine, quadrigemine C, and a new alkaloid (1), whose structure was deduced by X-ray

Bioactivity-guided purification of a crude alkaloid extract of Psychotria oleoides has afforded a new alkaloid, psycholeine [1], together with quadrigemine C [2], a tetrameric pyrrolidinoindoline compound of unknown stereochemistry. A comparison study of nmr and cd spectra of quadrigemine C and

The chemical study of two Rubiaceae from New Caledonia, Psychotria lyciiflora and Psychotria oleoides, led to the isolation of several pyrrolidinoindoline alkaloids. Two dimers, the known meso-chimonanthine (9) and the new Nb-desmethyl-meso-chimonanthine (5), and a known trimer, hodgkinsine (1),
