Abstract

Four new gelsedine-type oxindole alkaloids (1-4) were isolated from the leaves and branches of Gelsemium elegans, together with 10 known alkaloids. The structures of the new alkaloids were determined by spectroscopic analyses and partial synthesis from known compounds. Gelsecrotonidine (1), 14-hydroxygelsecrotonidine (2), and 11-methoxygelsecrotonidine (3) possess an additional C2 unit with an acetic acid residue compared to gelsenicine-related monoterpenoid indole alkaloids. 14-Hydroxygelsedilam (4) is an 18,19-nor-type monoterpenoid indole alkaloid.
