Abstract:
Myritonines A-C (1-3), three new alkaloids bearing an unprecedented heterohexacyclic skeleton, were isolated from Myrioneuron tonkinensis. Their structures were determined by a combination of spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 3 represents the first Myrioneuron alkaloid featuring a unique trans-decahydroquinoline motif and was also found to possess a rare cyano functionality. Compounds 1 and 2 showed inhibition against the hepatitis C virus in vitro.
