    Journal: Chem Biodivers; 2007 Mar; 4(3):523-30. PubMed ID: 17372955.
    Abstract:
    Four new Stemona alkaloids, sessilistemonamines A-C (1-3, resp.) and dihydrostemoninine (4), were isolated from the roots of Stemona sessilifolia. Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated by means of in-depth 1D- and 2D-NMR-spectroscopic as well as mass-spectrometric experiments; and the structure of 4 was solved by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The stereoisomeric compounds 1-3 share an unprecedented tetracyclic decahydro-1H-furo[2',3':4,5]cyclopenta[1,2-b]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine nucleus. Compounds 1 and 2 were found to be moderately active in terms of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) inhibition, with IC50 values of 68.8+/-9.5 and 17.1+/-2.5 microM, resp.
