The gelsedine-type alkaloids possess a common oxabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane core and spiro- N-methoxyindolinone moiety along with a diversely functionalized heterocycle embedded in the compact framework. Herein we disclose a divergent entry to gelsedine-type alkaloids that hinges on rapid assembly of the common core by the orchestrated application of an asymmetric Michael addition, a tandem oxidation/aldol cyclization, and a pinacol rearrangement and generation of the structural diversity via a late-stage heterocyclization. The power of this strategy has been demonstrated through very short total syntheses of four gelsedine-type alkaloids: gelsedilam, gelsenicine, gelsedine, and gelsemoxonine.

Two undescribed bisindole alkaloids, gelseginedine A (1) and its rearranged gelseginedine B (2), and seven unreported gelselegine-type oxindole alkaloids (3-9) were isolated from the stems and leaves of Gelsemium elegans, together with five known alkaloids (10-14). Compounds 1 and 2 represented the first examples of gelselegine-gelsedine type alkaloids which bridged two units by a double bond. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by means of HRESIMS, NMR and calculational chemistry.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolism of in human, pig, goat and rat liver microsomes and to elucidate the metabolic pathways and cleavage patterns of the Gelsemium alkaloids among different species.
Methods: A human, goat, pig and rat liver microsomes were incubated . After incubating at 37°C for 1 hour and centrifuging, the processed samples were detected by was used to detect alcohol extract of and its metabolites.

Gelsedine-type alkaloids are highly toxic plant secondary metabolites produced by shrubs belonging to the Gelsemium genus. Gelsenicine is one of the most concerning gelsedine-type alkaloids with a lethal dose lower than 1 mg/Kg in mice. Several reported episodes of poisoning in livestock and fatality cases in humans due to the usage of Gelsemium plants extracts were reported.
