This study aims to investigate Erythrina alkaloids from the stems of Erythrina corallodendron. Eighteen Erythrina alkaloids were isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of the stems of E. corallodendron by silica gel,octadecyl silica( ODS),Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and preparative HPLC. With nuclear magnetic resonance( NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry( MS),their structures were identified as crstanine A( 1),erytharbine( 2),cristamine C( 3),( +)-erystramindine( 4),10,11-dioxoerythraline( 5),8-oxoerythraline( 6),8-oxo-11β-methoxyerythradine( 7),11-methoxyerythradine( 8),( ±)-11-epi-methoxyerythraline( 9),( +)-erythraline( 10),crystamidine( 11),8-oxoerythrinine( 12),( +)-11α-hydroxyerysotrine( 13),erythrinine( 14),erysodine( 15),erysotrine-N-oxide( 16),( +)-erythratidine( 17),erythratine( 18). Compounds 1-4,7,9,11,13,16 and 17 were isolated from E. corallodendron for the first time. Furthermore,the cytotoxic activities of these Erythrina alkaloids were screened by MTT assay. The results showed that all compounds had no obvious cytotoxic activity. The analgesic activities of compounds1,6 and 8 were evaluated using an acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice. The writhing inhibition rates of compounds 1,6 and 8 at20 mg·kg~(-1)( ip) were 69%,70% and 62%,respectively( P<0. 01),indicating they have significant analgesic activity.

Erythrina senegalensis, belongs to the family of Fabaceae and it has been used traditionally to treat microbial infections and diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to formulate silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the methanol stem bark extract of Erythrina senegalensis and to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant effects of the nanoparticles. The methanol extract was screened qualitatively for the presence of tannins, alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids using standard protocols.

Based on rich sulfur-involving chemical transformations, a novel spokewise synthetic strategy, a subclass of the collective strategies, has been developed to concisely synthesize four erythrina alkaloids through a single-step transformation from a common synthetic precursor. Moreover, six additional erythrina alkaloids have also been synthesized by subsequent 1-2 steps chemical transformations. The current synthetic approaches provide a valuable platform for collective total syntheses of erythrina alkaloids and -natural erythrina alkaloids.

The tetracyclic rings with chiral quaternary center represent a formidable synthetic challenge for alkaloids. We present a 6-step synthesis of the alkaloid 3-demethoxyerythratidinone with a 16% overall yield. Our synthesis highlights a cascade reaction initiated by TfO-induced activation of an enaminone substrate, yielding an iminium species and an enol triflate, followed by a Pictet-Spengler reaction.
