Abstract: | A phytochemical investigation on the aerial parts of Gardneria ovata Wall resulted in the isolation and identification of 14 compounds, including three gardneria glycoalkaloids (1–2 and 6), seven gardneria alkaloids (3–5 and 7–10), and four oxindole alkaloids (11–14). The structure of compound 1 was elucidated by means of spectroscopic analysis, including HRESIMS together with 1D and 2D NMR experiments. Compounds 1–2 and 11–14 are the first time reported from of G. ovate, while the compounds 3–4, 6, and 8 are also the characteristic secondary metabolites of the title plant. The chemotaxonomic significance and distribution of these monoterpenoid indole alkaloids in Gardneria genus are discussed. |
