Main observation and conclusion

Phytochemical investigations on Tabernaemontana divaricata led to the isolation of seven undescribed monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, taberdicatines A—G (17). Taberdicatines A—C might be derived from Aspidosperma-type alkaloid, less skeletal carbons in 12 and an additional carbon in 3. Taberdicatines D—E (45) were attributed to Iboga alkaloids with enantiomeric skeleton, respectively. Alkaloid 3 could promote the neurite growth of mouse primary cortical neurons at the concentration of 5 μmol/L. image
