Article Abstract

Arborisidine and Arbornamine are two monoterpenoid indole alkaloids that were isolated from the Malayan Kopsia arborea plant. This review provides valuable information about the total and formal syntheses of these alkaloids. The synthesis strategies discussed in this review, such as Pictet-Spengler cyclization, chemo- and stereoselective oxidative cyclization, Michael/Mannich cascade process, and intramolecular N-alkylation, can be useful for developing new methods to synthesize these and other similar compounds.

The tryptamine-derived polycyclic bridged bioactive indole alkaloids subincanadines A-G were isolated in 2002 by Ohsaki and coworkers from the bark of the Brazilian medicinal plant Aspidosperma subincanum. Kobayashi proposed that subincanadines D-F could be biosynthetically resulting from stemmadenine via two different pathways and, furthermore, that the subincanadines A-C could be biogenetically resulting from subincanadines D and E. Kam and coworkers, in their focused efforts, isolated five indole alkaloids from Malaysian Kopsia arborea species, namely valparicine, apparicine, arboridinine, arborisidine, and arbornamine in combination with subincanadine E.

Two new monoterpene indole alkaloids, characterized by previously unencountered natural product skeletons, viz., arborisidine (1), incorporating indolizidine and cyclohexanone moieties fused to an indole unit, and arbornamine (2), incorporating an unprecedented 6/5/6/5/6 "arbornane" skeleton (distinct from the eburnan or tacaman skeleton), were isolated from a Malayan Kopsia arborea. The structures of the alkaloids were determined based on analysis of the NMR and MS data.
