There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H21N5O2. In each mol-ecule, the indolizine ring system is essentially planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.030 and 0.028 Å. The dihedral angles between the indolizine ring system and the pyrazole rings are 54.7 (3) and 8.6 (3)° in one mol-ecule and 54.4 (3) and 6.6 (3)° in the other. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (100).

Chemical investigation of the native medicinal plant Tabernaemontana bovina led to the isolation of five previously unreported monoterpenoid indole alkaloids tabernovinaines A-E (1-5) together with twenty-seven known analogs (6-32), including a bisindole alkaloid 1 with the (E)-4-aminobut-3-en-2-one fragment, as well as a unique cage skeleton 2 containing 6/5/8/6/6 ring system. The chemical structures of these unreported compounds were elucidated using mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, circular dichroism, density functional theory calculations, and derivatizations. The activity evaluation shows that the bisindole alkaloid 1 revealed a potential cytotoxic effect by inducing HepG2 cell apoptosis and damaging clonal sphere expansion.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research into mushroom-derived compounds like psilocybin and psilocin emphasizes their psychedelic effects and potential use in treating mental health issues, such as depression.
- *The study investigates how the placement of the hydroxyl group on the indole ring influences the compounds' activity at 5-HT receptors and their psychedelic-like effects, finding that compounds with hydroxyl groups in the 4th and 5th positions are more effective.
- *Simulations reveal that specific hydrogen bonds and interactions with receptor residues are critical for the compounds' effectiveness, indicating that small structural changes can significantly impact their therapeutic potential.*
Paraherquamides - A new hope and great expectations of anthelmintic agents: Computational studies.

Nematode infections impose a significant health and economic burden, particularly as parasites develop resistance to existing treatments and evade host defenses. This study explores the efficacy of 48 paraherquamide analogs, a class of polycyclic spiro-oxindole alkaloids with unique structural features, as potential anthelmintic agents. Employing advanced computational methods, including molecular docking, MM-GBSA, and molecular dynamics simulations, we assessed the interaction of these analogs with the Ls-AchBP receptor, a model for nematode neurotransmission.

Coprisidins, a new class of indole alkaloids, feature a 1,4-naphthoquinone moiety attached to C-3 of 2-oxindole. Heterologous expression of a type II polyketide synthase-containing gene cluster resulted in the generation of three coprisidins. Gene disruption and isotope feeding studies suggested that the 2-oxindole moieties of coprisidins originate from a tetracyclic aromatic polyketide through oxidative rearrangements.
