Four new C19-diterpenoid alkaloids brevicanines A–D (1–4) with rotameric phenomenon were isolated from Aconitum brevicalcaratum. They all possessed an unusual axial chiral phenyl-quinazoline side chain and their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. Meanwhile, brevicanines A and B were semi-synthesized from their parent compound scaconine to further confirm their structures. Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy was also used to investigate the atropisomers of brevicanine A, in which two sets of signals in 1H NMR spectra were observed at room temperature and coalesced over 140 °C. It's the first time to determine the atropisomeric preference of diterpenoid alkaloids.

Treatment of nosocomial and community acquired Staphylococcus aureus infections has become more challenging due to the egression of multi-drug resistance. This has spurred the need for rapid development of new therapeutic agents which can effectively negate the resistance mechanisms. In our current work, several new 4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)benzoic acid and benzamide derivatives were synthesized and examined for their antimicrobial activity against ESKAP pathogen panel and pathogenic mycobacteria. In the primary screening, compounds 4a, 4b, 6′a, 6′b, 6′h, 6′i and 6′j were found to demonstrate selective and potent inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MICs = 0.25–0.5 μg/mL). When tested against Vero cells, all the compounds were found to be non toxic possessing favourable selectivity index (SI > 10), which encouraged us for carrying out further studies. Compound 6′a (SI > 40) was tested against a number of multiple clinical strains of multi-drug resistant S. aureus and was found to exhibit potent activity, irrespective of the resistant status of the strain. Besides, compound 6′a also exhibited concentration dependent bactericidal activity and synergized with the FDA approved drugs tested. The interesting results obtained suggest the potential utility of the newly synthesized compounds for treatment of multidrug resistant S. aureus infections.

Tryptanthrin is a natural product with numerous important pharmacological properties. Tryptanthrin and its analogs are commonly prepared by condensation of isatoic anhydride and isatin. In this Letter we investigate the formation of tryptanthrin derivatives upon Oxone-induced oxidative dimerization of indole-3-carbaldehydes.
