Alstonlarsines A-D, Four Rearranged Indole Alkaloids from Alstonia scholaris.

Four indole alkaloids, alstonlarsines A-D (1-4), were isolated from Alstonia scholaris and structurally characterized. Compound 1 possesses a new carbon skeleton with a cage-shaped 9-azatricyclo[4.3.1.03,8]decane motif, and compounds 2-4 feature a rare carbon skeleton that was found in nature for the first time. Plausible biosynthetic routes for 1-4 are proposed. Compound 1 showed DRAK2 inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 11.65 ± 0.63 μΜ.
