The orvinols are a class of potent opioids which have been extensively studied, yet little is known about the effects of introducing substituents into the 18- and 19-positions. The etheno bridge of thevinone was hydroxylated to give both the 18- and 19-hydroxyl substituted thevinols. After 3-O-demethylation to the corresponding orvinols, binding and GTPgammaS functional assays indicated that hydroxyl substitution at the 18- and 19-positions differentially affects the mu opioid efficacy of orvinols.

Six new cytochalasans, designated as 18-oxo-19,20-dihydrophomacin C (1), 18-oxo-19-methoxy-19,20- dihydrophomacin C (2), 18-oxo-19-hydroxyl-19,20-dihydrophomacin C (3), 19,20-dihydrophomacin C (4), 19-methoxy-19,20-dihydrophomacin C (5), 19-hydroxyl-19,20-dihydrophomacin C (6), and one new tyrosine-derived alkaloid named as gymnastatin Z (8), together with two known compounds, phomacin B (7) and triticone D (9), were isolated from a solid-substrate fermentation culture of Westerdykella dispersa which was derived from marine sediments. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis using 1D and 2D NMR techniques, and comparison of NMR data to those of known compounds. The anti-bacterial and cytotoxic activities assays of all isolated compounds were evaluated against eight human pathogenic bacteria and five human cancer cell lines, respectively.

Three new monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, 19-hydroxyl-10-methoxy-19, 20-dihydrovinorine (1), 19-O-acetyl-10-methoxy-19, 20-dihydrovinorine (2), and 19, 21α-dihydroxyl-10-methoxy-19, 20-dihydrovinorine (3), along with five known analogues (4-8), were isolated from the whole plants of Vinca major. The new structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and MS analysis and comparison with known compounds. In addition, compounds 1-3 were evaluated for their cytotoxicities against five human cancer cell lines.

The synthesis of a series of andrographolide-19-oic acid derivatives was described and their in vitro anti-tumor activity against two human cell lines was evaluated. Most compounds were found to exhibit significant cytotoxicity, better than andrographolide, and compounds 9d and 9b were identified as the most potent with IC50 values of 1.18 and 6.
