An unprecedented cage-like alkaloid, scholarisine A was isolated from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris and its structure determined on basis 1D 2D NMR, FTIR, UV, high-resolution mass spectroscopic data. This alkaloid might be derived picrinine via oxygenation, rearrangement, lactonization.
Previous findings suggested that a four-protein complex, including sterol-regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP), SREBP-cleavage-activating (SCAP), insulin-induced gene (INSIG) and progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1), within the endoplasmic reticulum appears to be an important regulator responsible for atypical antipsychotic drug (AAPD)-induced lipid disturbances. In present study, effects of typical AAPDs as well treatment outcome steroid antagonist mifepristone (MIF) on...
Wu‐Teng Decoction (WTD) is a significant in‐hospital preparation widely used in clinical practice to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) China, however, its active substances and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the chemical constituents of WTD were analyzed using UHPLC‐MS/MS, identifying total 120 compounds, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, etc. Subsequently, network pharmacology analyses revealed that 29 compounds potential for treatment...

Schizophrenia (SZ) is considered to be a multifactorial brain disorder with defects involving many biochemical pathways. Patients SZ show variable responses current pharmacological treatments of because the heterogeneity this disorder. Stress has significant role in pathophysiological pathways and therapeutic SZ. Atypical antipsychotic drugs (AAPDs) can modulate stress response hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis exert effects on by targeting prefrontal cortex (PFC) hippocampus. To...

Five dimeric Erythrina alkaloids, named erythrivarines J-N, were isolated from the barks of variegata L. (Fabaceae). The J-L featured a 6/6/5/6/6/5/6/6/6 ring system and super conjugated double bond systems, causing intense color blue to wine red, while M-N looked orange. structures compounds elucidated by 1D 2D NMR experiments combined with MS confirmed X-ray crystal diffraction technique. performed bioassay using HEI-OC-1 cells revealed neuroprotective properties erythrivarine N against...
Two new aporphine-type isoquinoline alkaloids, (+)-N-(methoxy-carbonyl)-N-norlauroscholtzine (1) and (+)-N-(methoxy-carbonyl)-N-norglaucine (2), were isolated from Litsea cubeba identified by spectroscopic techniques (NMR, MS, UV, IR). Their structures contain an N-(methoxycarbonyl) moiety, which has seldomly been found in the natural products of these analogs. Both compounds 1 2 showed no antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.
