The first synthesis of aristoquinoline (), a naturally occurring nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) antagonist, was accomplished using two different approaches. Comparison of the synthetic material's spectroscopic data to that of the isolated alkaloid identified a previously misassigned stereogenic center. An evaluation of each enantiomer's activity at the α3β4 nAChR revealed that (+)- is significantly more potent than (-)-. This unexpected finding suggests that naturally occurring possesses the opposite absolute configuration from indole-containing alkaloids.

Growing evidence suggests that inhibition of the α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) represents a promising therapeutic strategy to treat cocaine use disorder. Recently, aristoquinoline (), an alkaloid from , was identified as an α3β4-selective nAChR inhibitor. Here, we prepared 22 derivatives of and evaluated their ability to inhibit the α3β4 nAChR.

The alkaloids are a family of monoterpene indole alkaloids possessing a characteristic azabicyclononane scaffold, which has been assembled by several synthetic methods. Herein we review those approaches that have adopted a biomimetic approach to unite heterocyclic synthons with chiral pool monoterpenes. Throughout this discussion, the tendency of monoterpenes like α-pinene and limonene to undergo racemization is highlighted, revealing the challenges in developing stereospecific syntheses of these alkaloids.

A novel alkaloid, aristopyridinone A (1) and a new phenanthrene, aristolamide II (2), were isolated from Aristolochia manshuriensis (Guanmutong) together with eight known phenanthrenes (3-10). All structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Compound 2 showed a selective inhibitory effect on elastase release by human neutrophils in response to fMLP with an IC(50) value of 4.

Two new aristolactams, aristolactam E (1) and aristolactam-AIIIa-6-O-beta-D-glucoside (2), three novel benzoyl benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline ether N-oxide alkaloids, aristoquinoline A (3), aristoquinoline B (4), and aristoquinoline C (5), and a new biphenyl ether, aristogin F (6), together with 62 known compounds have been isolated from the root and stem of Aristolochia elegans Mast. The structures of the new natural products were established on the basis of spectral evidence. Some of the isolated compounds were examined for their antioxidative and antityrosinase activities.
