New cholinesterase-inhibiting triterpenoid alkaloids from Buxus hyrcana

The current phytochemical investigation on Buxus hyrcana Pojark. has resulted in the isolation of the triterpenoid alkaloids 1-10. The structures of five new alkaloids, hyrcanone (1), hyrcanol (2), hyrcatrienine (3), N(b)-dimethylcycloxobuxoviricine (4), and hyrcamine (5), were elucidated by means of modern spectroscopic techniques, while the known alkaloids, buxidin (6), buxandrine (7), buxabenzacinine (8), buxippine-K (9) and E-buxenone (10), were identified by comparing their spectral data with those reported earlier. Compounds 1 and 3-9 were found to be acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors. The IC50 values were estimated to be in the range of 83.0-468.0 microM against AChE and 1.12-350.0 microM against BChE.

All compounds were also evaluated for cytotoxicity on a fibroblast cell line with incubation of 24 h. No cytotoxic effects were exerted by any compound.
