摘要
Maerua siamensis (Capparaceae) roots are used for treating pain and inflammation in traditional Thai medicine. Eight new indole alkaloids, named maeruanitriles A and B, maeroximes A-C, and maeruabisindoles A-C, were isolated from them. Spectroscopic methods and computational analysis were applied to determine the structure of the isolated compounds. Maeroximes A-C possesses an unusual O-methyloxime moiety. The bisindole alkaloid maeruabisindoles A and B possess a rare azete ring, whereas maeruabisindole C is the first indolo[3,2-b]carbazole derivative found in this plant family. Five compounds [maeruanitriles A and B, maeroxime C, maeruabisindoles B, and C] displayed anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production in the lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Maeruabisindole B was the most active inhibitor of NO production, with an IC50 of 31.1 ± 1.8 μM compared to indomethacin (IC50 = 150.0 ± 16.0 μM) as the positive control.
