Abstract

Twenty-seven Monoterpene Indole Alkaloids (MIAs) including three new ones were isolated from the plant of Rhazya stricta. Their structures were elucidated by analyses of HRMS and NMR data. Secopleiocarpamine A (1) represents a novel 2,3-seco pleiocarpamine type MIA possessing a cyano group. A possible biosynthetic pathway for 1 was postulated. All compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against six Candida strains, and the results showed that 2, 5, 12, 21, 23, and 27 exhibited moderate inhibitory activities with MIC values ranging from 3.125 to 50 μg/mL.
