Novel bis(monoterpenoid) indole alkaloids from Psychotria bahiensis.
Two new bis(monoterpenoid) indole alkaloid glucosides, bahienoside A (1) and bahienoside B (2), together with five known compounds, 5alpha-carboxystrictosidine, angustine, strictosamide, and (E)- and (Z)-vallesiachotamine, were isolated from the aerial parts of Psychotria bahiensis collected in Trinidad, West Indies. The structures of the compounds were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR spectral methods, viz., (1)H, (13)C, (13)C DEPT, (1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC, HMQC, HMBC, and TOCSY aided by IR, UV, and circular dichroism measurements.
