New Indole Alkaloids from the Fungus Talaromyces assiutensis JTY2.

Three new indole alkaloids, named talatensindoids A-C (1-3), together with two known biogenetically related indole alkaloids tryptamine (4) and L-tryptophan (5) were isolated from the Talaromyces assiutensis JTY2 based on the guidance of OSMAC approach. The structures of these indole alkaloids were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configuration of 3 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

[Two new benzyl-benzoate glucosides from Plumeria rubra].

The components with hypoglycemic activity in Plumeria rubra were isolated and purified by various column chromatography techniques and activity tracing methods. The physical and chemical properties of all the purified monomer compounds were characterized and analyzed, and a total of six compounds were isolated and identified, including 6″-acetyl-6-hydroxy-benzyl-benzoate-2-O-β-D-glucoside(1), 6-acetyl-6-hydroxy-benzyl-benzoate-2-O-β-D-glucoside-(1→6″)-β-D-glucoside(2), 2-hydroxy-6-methoxy-benzyl-benzoate-2-O-β-D-glucoside(3), 6-hydroxy-benzyl-benzoate-2-O-β-D-glucoside(4), 6-hydroxy-benzyl-benzoate-2-O-β-D-glucoside-(1→6″)-β-D-glucoside(5), and 6-hydroxy-benzyl-benzoate-2-O-β-D-glucoside-(1→6″)-β-D-xyloside(6). Compounds 1 and 2 were new compounds, and compounds 3-6 were isolated from Plumeria for the first time.
