In addition to six known phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids, eight new alkaloids, namely, ficuseptines B-D (1-3), 10R,13aR-tylophorine N-oxide (4), 10R,13aR-tylocrebrine N-oxide (5), 10S,13aR-tylocrebrine N-oxide (6), 10S,13aR-isotylocrebrine N-oxide (7), and 10S,13aS-isotylocrebrine N-oxide (8), were isolated from a methanol extract of the stems of Ficus septica. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by means of spectroscopic data interpretation. Cytotoxicity of some of these alkaloids was assessed in vitro using the HONE-1 and NUGC cell lines.

Isolation of GLP-1 enhancing indolizidine alkaloids from Boehmeria formosana.
J Food Drug Anal
December 2023
School of Pharmacy, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10050, Taiwan.
Article Synopsis
- Boehmeria formosana shows various health benefits, including lowering blood sugar levels, inhibiting hepatitis B virus production, and fighting cancer.
- Researchers found that some indolizidine alkaloids from this plant are sensitive to light, so they isolated these compounds in darkness to discover new types.
- This method led to the identification of 10 new indolizidine alkaloids and 17 known ones, with seven compounds notably increasing GLP-1 activity significantly, which could have potential health implications.

Article Synopsis
- The genus Vincetoxicum comprises invasive vines in North America that disrupt ecosystems and complicate land management efforts, primarily due to their production of harmful alkaloids.
- Research using advanced metabolomics techniques identified 25 different alkaloids in Vincetoxicum species, helping to establish a biosynthetic pathway that explains their diversity and potential invasiveness.
- Phytotoxic effects of these alkaloids on other plant seedlings were noted, alongside their accumulation in both soil and on damaged leaves, suggesting these compounds play a significant role in ecological interactions and could inform management strategies for controlling these invasive plants.
Annulation of -silyl ,-ketene acetals with alkynes for the synthesis of dihydropyridinones and its application in concise total synthesis of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids.

College of Pharmacy, Seoul National University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
The formation of -heterocycles with multiple substituents is important in organic synthesis. Herein, we report a novel method for the construction of functionalized dihydropyridinone rings through the annulation of an amide -carbon with a tethered alkyne moiety. The reaction of the amide with the alkyne was achieved via -silyl ,-ketene acetal formation and silver-mediated addition.

A rapid total synthesis of seco-phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids was achieved involving a one-pot acid catalyzed deprotection- condensation-electrocyclization strategy. This synthetic route provided a concise synthesis of (±)-seco-antofine and (±)-septicine in only 4 steps with an overall yield of 22% and 17%, respectively.

We report a concise approach to phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids, wherein strained azacyclic alkynes are intercepted in Pd-catalyzed annulations. Two types of strained intermediates were evaluated: a functionalized piperidyne and a new strained intermediate, an indolizidyne. We show that each can be employed, ultimately allowing access to three natural products: tylophorine, tylocrebine, and isotylocrebine.
