Abstract: | 4,21-Secovincanol ( 1 ), a novel C-21/N-4 cleavage monoterpenoid indole alkaloid, along with four analogs ( 2 – 5 ), were obtained from the aerial parts of Kopsia hainanensis. Structurally, compound 1 might be a derivative of epivincanol ( 2 ) via C-21/N-4 cleavage. Their structures were confirmed by means of comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with the reported data. All isolates significantly inhibited Con A-stimulated mice splenocytes proliferation at 10–40 μM in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Especially, compound 3 exhibited potent activities comparable to positive control (Dexamethasone, DXM). |
