Sarglamides A-E ( 1 - 5 ), representing the first example of heterodimers of a trans - N -cinnamoylindolidinoid and α-phelladrene derivatives, were isolated from Sarcandra glabra subsp. brachystachys . Particularly, compounds 4 and 5 possess unprecedented cagelike 6/6/5/6/5- and 6/6/6/6/5-fused pentacyclic scaffolds, respectively. Their structures were established by spectroscopic analysis, X-ray crystallography, quantum-chemical calculations, and chemical conversions. Plausible biosynthetic pathways of 1 - 5 involving the coisolated enantiomers 6a and 6b were proposed. Compounds 3 - 7 showed inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglial cells.
