A unique series of six biaryl natural products displaying four different coupling types (5,10 , 7,10 , 7,80 , and 5,80) were isolated from the roots of the West African liana Ancistrocladus abbreviatus (Ancistrocladaceae). Although at first sight structurally diverse, these secondary metabolites all have in common that they belong to the rare group of naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids with a fully dehydrogenated isoquinoline portion. Among the African Ancistrocladus species, A. abbreviatus is so far only the second one that was found to produce compounds with such a molecular entity. Here, we report on four new representatives, named ancistrobreveines A–D (12–14, and 6). They were identified along with the two known alkaloids 6-O-methylhamateine (4) and entdioncophylleine A (10). The two latter naphthylisoquinolines had so far only been detected in Ancistrocladus species from Southeast Asia. All of these fully dehydrogenated alkaloids have in common being optically active despite the absence of stereogenic centers, due to the presence of the rotationally hindered biaryl axis as the only element of chirality. Except for ent-dioncophylleine A (10), which lacks an oxygen function at C-6, the ancistrobreveines A–D (12–14, and 6) and 6-O-methylhamateine (4) are 6-oxygenated alkaloids, and are, thus, typical ‘Ancistrocladaceae-type’ compounds. Ancistrobreveine C (14), is the first – and so far only – example of a 7,80-linked fully dehydrogenated naphthylisoquinoline discovered in nature that is configurationally stable at the biaryl axis. The stereostructures of the new alkaloids were established by spectroscopic (in particular HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR) and chiroptical (electronic circular dichroism) methods. Ancistrobreveine C (14) and 6-O-methylhamateine (4) exhibited strong antiproliferative activities against drug-sensitive acute lymphoblastic CCRF-CEM leukemia cells and their multidrugresistant subline, CEM/ADR5000.
A series of seven unusual dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids was isolated from the leaves of the tropical liana Ancistrocladus ealaensis J. Léonard, named cyclombandakamine A (1), 1-epi-cyclombandakamine A (2), and cyclombandakamines A3–7 (3–7). These alkaloids have a chemically thrilling structural array consisting of a twisted dihydrofuran-cyclohexenone-isochromene system. The 1′″-epimer of 4, cyclombandakamine A1 (8), had previously been discovered in an unidentified Ancistrocladus species related to A. ealaensis. Both lianas produce the potential parent precursor, mbandakamine A (9), but only A. ealaensis synthesizes the corresponding cyclized form, along with a broad series of slightly modified analogs. The challenging isolation required, besides multi-dimensional chromatography, the use of a pentafluorophenyl stationary phase. Featuring up to six stereocenters and two types of chiral axes, their structures were elucidated by means of 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, in combination with oxidative chemical degradation experiments as well as chiroptical (electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy) and quantum chemical calculations. Compared to the ‘open-chain’ parent compound 9, these dimers displayed rather moderate antiplasmodial activities.
The isolation and structure elucidation of rac-dioncophyllacine A from the leaves of Triphyophyllun peltatum, is described. Unlike all other naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids, this fully dehydrogenated representative has an additional methoxy group at C-4, the position of which is deduced from NOE results. Dioncophyllacine A has a 7,1' site of the biaryl axis, as in dioncophylline A. Its constitution is confirmed by an X-ray structure analysis, which shows that the crystalline form of this new alkaloid is racemic.
