Abstract

By the end of the twentieth century, the interest in natural compounds as probable sources of drugs has declined and was replaced by other strategies such as molecular target-based drug discovery. However, in the recent times, natural compounds regained their position as extremely important source drug leads. Indole-containing compounds are under clinical use which includes vinblastine and vincristine (anticancer), atevirdine (anti-HIV), yohimbine (erectile dysfunction), reserpine (antihypertension), ajmalicine (vascular disorders), ajmaline (anti-arrhythmic), vincamine (vasodilator), etc. Monoterpene Indole Alkaloids (MIAs) deserve the curiosity and attention of researchers due to their chemical diversity and biological activities. These compounds were considered as an impending source of drug-lead. In this review 444 compounds, were identified from six genera belonging to the family Apocynaceae, will be discussed. These genera (Alstonia, Rauvolfia, Kopsia, Ervatamia, and Tabernaemontana, and Rhazya) consist of 400 members and represent 20% of Apocynaceae species. Only 30 (7.5%) species were investigated, whereas the rest are promising to be investigated. Eleven bioactivities, including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant activities, were reported. Whereas cytotoxic effect represents 47% of the reported activities. Convincingly, the genera selected in this review are a wealthy source for future anticancer drug lead.

1. Introduction

Alkaloids are basic nitrogenous natural metabolites with structural diversity and molecular conformity. They displayed interesting bioactivities and are known to perform an important role in plant protection. The majority of them were discovered from plants and recently recorded Ca 21,000 [1,2]. The alkaloids are generally derived from amino acids that are containing one or more nitrogen atoms. These precursors are playing a rule in their classification. Also, the biosynthetic pathway of alkaloids can be named according the amino acid source [3]. Thus, they can be categorized into several groups based on associated moieties, including piperidine, pyrrolidine, pyrrole, pyridine, quinolone, isoquinoline, indole, quinolizidine, pyrrolizidine, tropane, benzylisoquinoline, purine, β-carboline, indolinics and quinolizidine.

Terpenoids are considered to be interesting natural products that have chemical diversity and different bioactivities. Common terpenoids have been reported from marine sources [4]. Whereas, the plants were listed as an important source of such metabolites. Terpenoids include several subclasses according to the number of carbo-skeleton; monoterpenes (C₁₀), sesquiterpenes (C₁₅), diterpenes (C₂₀), sesterterpenes (C₂₅), triterpenes (C₃₀), and tetraterpenes (C₄₀).

Monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) are metabolites containing a bicyclic structure of a benzene ring fused to a five-membered pyrrole ring. It is a noteworthy that the occurrence of multipart alkaloids is largely restricted to limited number of plant families. (e.g., Apocynaceae, Loganiaceae, and Rubiaceae) [5,6,7,8]. These families are closely taxonomically related. Also, on the chemical aspect, they are recognized to have apparent uniformity in the building blocks of these alkaloids. MIAs have been proposed to be sourced from strictosidine, which originates from the condensation of tryptophan with secologanin (C₁₀ or C₉ part), which can be divided into linear six carbon (6 C), one carbon (1 C) and three carbon (3 C) units (Figure 1). The connection between them requires proving. The nine-carbons fragment may be formed by the loss at certain stage of one of the carbons from the 3 C unit, and there are also a few indole bases which appear to have ended up without the 3 C or the 1 C units. Three hypothetical building blocks, Types I, II and III. It is nevertheless a useful way of dividing indole alkaloids into groups based on their sub architecture. Since Type I alkaloids are by far the most numerous, they may be the source of Type II and III. It was suggested by LeMen and Tylor that the convention be extended to cover Type II and III alkaloids as illustrated in Figure 1. On these hypothetical bases, the MIAs categorized according to their biogenic pathway in three main groups, corynanthe, aspidosperma and iboga [9].

Biogenetic numbering rule as adopted from LeMen and Tylor.

Recently, strictosidine has been considered as the building block of MIAs biosynthesis [10]. MIAs have been proposed to arise from strictosidine, which itself originates from the condensation of tryptophan with secologanin in a 1:1 ratio. Strictosidine has been elaborated to give an impressive array of structural variants. This type of alkaloids possess 18 (or 19) carbon atoms on its skeleton. Additionally, the MIAs could be produced from tryptophan and secologanin in 1:2 or 2:1 ratio. According to this arrangement, three types (classes) of monoterpenes were constructed, including, corynanthe (e.g., ajmalicine), aspidosperma (e.g., tabersonine) and iboga (e.g., catharanthine) [11,12,13].

Apocynaceae contains about 250 genera and 2000 species [14]. Five sub-families are classified under Apocynaceae, including, Apocynoideae, Asclepiadoideae, Periplocoideae, Rauvolfioideae, and Secamonoideae. Apocynaceae species ranged from shrubs to trees. The characteristic features of these plants include colorful flowers and opposite leaves. Traditionally, species of this family have been used for the treatment of fever, malaria, gastrointestinal ailments, diabetes, and pain [15]. Additionally, some species have shown antiplasmodial and anticancer activities [14]. Several Apocynaceae MIAs have been used as anticancer, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic agents. For example, vinblastine, vinorelbine, vincristine, and vindesine were utilized as anticancer agents, whereas ajmalicine and ajmaline were used in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders (Figure 2) [2]. Catharanthus roseus and Rauvolfia serpentine are members of Apocynaceae and are known as sources of bioactive indole alkaloids [16]. Reserpine has been used as a tranquillizer, whereas vinblastine and vincristine have been used as anti-leukemic agents [17]. Vincristine and vinblastine were among the earliest anti-tumor agents, and since 1965 have been used as tubulin polymerization inhibitors. They have been used in combination for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and also against both Hodgkin’s and non- Hodgkin lymphoma. Additionally, strychnine is potent muscle contracting agent whereas, yohimbine has been used for the treatment of sexual dysfunction and investigated as a remedy for type-2 diabetes in animal and human models.

Examples of well-known biologically active terpene indole alkaloids.

There are several publications interested in the terpene indole alkaloids of individual species of the family Apocynaceae. The current review organizes the reported MIAs considering the historical aspect in each selected genus. Moreover, these MIAs were biosynthetically classified according to the tepenoidal fragment, i.e., corynanthe, aspidosperma, or iboga. Also, it focuses on the origin, structural diversity and biological activities exerted by 444 (Table 1) monoterpene indole alkaloids which have been reported from selected six genera of the family Apocynaceae (Alstonia, Kopsia, Ervatamia, Rauvolfia, Tabernaemontana and Rhazya), in the period between 2010 and December 2020. The listed metabolites are categorized under 26 subclasses, ajmaline, akuamiline, akuammidine, akuammicine, apparicine, aspidofractinine, aspidospermatan, eburnane, flabelliformide, kopsine, macroline, macroline oxindole, macroline-akuammiline, methyl chanofruticosinate, nareline, paucidactine, picrinine, pleiocarpamine, sarpagine, scholaricine, secodine, strictosidine, strychnos, vincamine, vincorine and vobasine (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

Common monoterpenoid indole alkaloidal skeletons of the six genera.

Additionally, the future prospective and emphasizing the research gaps and highlighting the roadmap to discover the potent bioactive monoterpenoid alkaloids, which could be a drug lead from the six genera. Also, this review will discuss the reported structural activity relationships.

2. Alstonia

Plants of the genus Alstonia are grown in Africa and Asia. It includes 60 species, which were recognized as rich source of heterocyclic monoterpene indole alkaloids. It has different names according to the geographical sources, including Devil tree, Australian fever bush, dita bark, Australian quinine, fever bark and palimara. Alstonia bark shows potent therapeutic effects including anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, analgesic, antidiabetic, antimalarial, antipyretic, antihelminthic, antibiotic, antimicrobial, anticancer, antibacterial and antitussive effects [18,19,20].

Three monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) derivatives, (14α,15α)-14,15-epoxyaspidofractinine (1) and maireines A (2) and B (3) have been isolated from the leaves and twigs of A. mairei [21]. Additionally, venalstonine (4) [22], (−)-minovincinine (5) [23], (−)-11-methoxyminovincinine (6) [24], (−)-echitovenine (7) [25], echitovenaldine (8) [26], echitovenidine (9), 11-methoxyechitovenidine (10) [27], echitoveniline (11), 11-methoxyechitoveniline (12) [24], echitoserpidine (13) [28],11-methoxyechitoserpidine (14) [29], (19S)-vindolinine (15) [22], lochnericine (16), tabersonine (17) [30], perakine (18) [31], picrinine (19) [32], F (20) [33], picralinal (21) [34] and rhazimol (22) [35] were isolated from the same species (Figure 5). These compounds were elucidated through the interpretation of different spectroscopic measurements including 1D and 2D NMR and MS. Interesting in compound (1) was the interpretation of the Rotating Frame Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy (ROSY) spectrum led to the establishment of the α-orientation of the epoxy moiety. Compounds 1–22 were evaluated against five human cancer cells, hepatocellular carcinoma (SMMC-7721), breast (SK-BR-3), pancreatic (PANC-1), human myeloid leukemia (HL-60), and lung (A-549) with IC₅₀ values > 40 μM [21].

The majority of reported alkaloids from A. scholaris, were of the picrinine type whereas, those isolated from A. yunnanensis were either picrinine or aspidospermine types.

Alsmaphorazines A (23) and B (24) (Figure 6) were identified from the leaves of malaysian A. pneumatophore. The chemical structures were determined on the basis of 2D NMR and MS spectral analysis. These compounds had an unprecedented skeleton containing an 1,2-oxazine (six-member ring) and an isoxazolidine (five-member ring) [36]. The absolute configuration of alsmaphorazine B was determined using CD spectral analysis. The absolute configuration of alsmaphorazine B (24) was studied by comparing its experimental CD spectrum with the calculated CD spectrum, with the CD calculations performed by Turbomole 6.1using the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT-B3LYP/TZVPP) level of theory on RI-DFTBP386LYP/TZVPP optimized geometries. Compound 23 inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) in an LPS-stimulated J774.1 cell with an IC₅₀ value = 49.2 μM, without affecting the cell viability, whereas compound 24 showed no inhibitory effect at 50.0 μM. Compound 23 was more potent as an anti-inflammatory agent due to the presence of a hydroxyl group at C-12 [36].

Alstrostines A (25) and B (26) were determined as derived from the condensation of tryptophan and secologanin in a ratio of 1:2. They were isolated from Alstonia rostrata [37]. The structures were established by measuring ¹H, ¹³C, HSQC, HMBC, ¹H-¹H COSY and ROESY. Compounds, 25 and 26, exhibited a weak cytotoxicity against five human cancer cells, hepatocellular carcinoma (SMMC-7721), breast (MCF-7), colon (SW480), myeloid leukemia (HL-60) and lung (A-549), with IC₅₀ values > 40 μM [37].

Alstrostines C-F (27–30) (Figure 6) were isolated from the leaves and twigs of Chinese A. rostrata [38]. Compounds 27–30 showed a characteristic UV absorption at 326, 275 and 214 nm, which indicated the presence of an indole alkaloid with a β-anilineacrylate system. The chemical structure elucidation was confirmed by 1D and 2D NMR. Compounds 27–30 showed weak cytotoxicity against five human cancer cells, breast (SK-BR-3), human myeloid leukemia (HL-60), pancreatic (PANC-1), hepatocellular carcinoma (SMMC-7721) and lung (A-549) cells, with IC₅₀ values > 40 μM [38].

Five MIAs, 11-hydroxy-6,7-epoxy-8-oxo-vincadifformine (31), 14-chloro-15-hydroxyvinca difformine (32), perakine N₄-oxide (33), raucaffrinoline N₄-oxide (34), and vinorine N₁,N₄-dioxide (35) (Figure 7) have been reported from A. yunnanensis. Additionally, three compounds, 11-methoxy-6,7-epoxy-8-oxovincadifformine (36), vinorine N4-oxide (37) and vinorine (38) have also been found from the same plant [39]. The chemical structures were established based on 1D and 2D (¹H-¹H-COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and ROESY) NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 33, 34, and 37 showed cytotoxicity against astrocytoma and glioma cells (CCF-STTG1, CHG-5, SHG-44 and U251) with IC₅₀ values ranging from 9.2 to 17.4 μM. Adriamycin was used as positive control and showed cytotoxicity with an IC₅₀ value ranging from 21.8 to 33.7 μM. These compounds exhibited a cytotoxic effect against breast cancer (MCF-7) and human skin cancer (SK-MEL-2) with IC₅₀ values ranging from 28.1 to 35.5 μM. Adriamycin was used as positive control and exhibited a cytotoxic effect with IC₅₀ values ranging from 14.1 to 37.6 μM [39]. Alkaloids 35 and 38 displayed no cytotoxic activities or selective inhibition of COX-2 comparable to those of 33, 34 and 37 although they possess the same monoterpene indole skeleton. The observations indicated that a N₄-oxide functionality was essential for cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory properties, while a N₁-oxide maybe weaken the cytotoxic activities for this type of alkaloids. The observations indicated that the presence of oxide in N₄ was essential for cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities, while the presence of the oxide on N₁-oxide led to decreasing the cytotoxicity.

Alsmaphorazines (C) (39), (D), (40), and (E) (41) (Figure 8) were elucidated from A. pneumatophore [40]. The planar structure of 39 was elucidated by 2D NMR and MS. This alkaloid possesses a novel ring skeleton containing an octahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrrole unit. The absolute configuration of (39) was determined by the modified Mosher’s method and also confirmed by measuring the CD spectrum, which fully agreed with the CD calculations. Compounds 39–41 showed no cytotoxicity and also weak anti-melanogenesis activity against HL-60 and B16F10 cells with IC₅₀ values >100 μM [40].

New scholarisins I-VII (42–48), and (3R,5S,7R,15R,16R,19E)-scholarisine F (49) [41], along with three known indoles: 3-epi-dihydrocorymine (50), and (E)-16-formyl-5α-methoxystrictamine (51) were identified from the leaves of Alstonia rupestris (Figure 8) [42]. Compounds 42, 47, and 51 showed significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells, A-549, BGC-823, HepG2, HL-60, MCF-7, SMMC-7721, and SW480 with IC₅₀ values < 30 μM. These compounds exhibited selective inhibition effect of COX-2 with IC₅₀ values ranging between 92.0 and 96.4 μM, while compounds 43, 44, and 48–50 displayed a weak cytotoxicity towards the tested tumor cells with IC₅₀ values > 40 μM. Furthermore, alkaloids 45 and 46 showed a weak cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ values > 80 μM. Doxorubicin was used as a positive control and showed with IC₅₀ value < 35 µM. These activities of 45 and 46, indicated that the bond connection between C-5 and N-4 was essential for the cytotoxicity [41]. Compounds 42, 43, 44 and 49 showed antifungal activity against Gibberella pulicaris (KZN 4207) and Colletotrichum nicotianae (SACC-1922) with MIC values of 0.64 and 0.69 mM; 1.37 and 1.44 mM; 1.80 and 1.91 mM and 1.55 and 1.71 mM, respectively. Nystatin was implemented as a positive control and showed MIC values of 0.007 and 0.006 mM. These bioactivities may be due to the presence of a formyl group at C-16 in the alkaloids subclasses picrinine in 42, vincorine in 47, and akuammiline in 51, respectively and also may play a role in anti-inflammatory activity [41].

Alstolactines A (52), B (53), and C (54) (Figure 9) were isolated from the leaves of chines A. scholaris [43]. The structures were identified by extensive spectroscopic data analyses and X-ray diffraction analyses. The absolute stereochemistry was deduced from crystal X-ray diffraction. These compounds are biosynthetically originated from picrinine, which is the main metabolite in A. scholaris. Compounds 52–54 exhibited no effects against four bacterial strains: Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus [43].

Moreover, Alistonitrine A (55) (Figure 9) had an unprecedented caged carbon skeleton with a unique 6/5/6/5/5/6 ring system and also contained three nitrogen atoms. It was isolated from the same species [12]. Its structure and absolute configuration were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses and electron circular dichroism calculations. Compound 55 exhibited no activity as an anti-inflammatory in both NF-κB and HIF-α models [12].

The MIAs, 6,7-epoxy-8-oxo-vincadifformine (56), 11-acetyl-6,7-epoxy-8-oxo-vincadifformine (57), 11-hydroxy-14-chloro-15-hydroxyvincadifformine (58) and perakine N₁,N₄-dioxide (59) were identified from the aerial parts of A. rupestris. Additionally, 11-hydroxy-6,7-epoxy-8-oxovincadifformine (60) and 35 were isolated from the same species [44].

Compounds 56, 57 and 60 exhibited potent cytotoxic effects against head and neck squamous cancer (SCL-1, Detroit-562, UMSCC-1, CAL-27, TCA-83, HepG2 and SCC-PKU) cells, with IC₅₀ values < 20 μM. Doxorubicin was implemented as a positive control and showed cytotoxicity, with IC₅₀ values ≤ 35.4 µM. Compound 56 exhibited potent effect, with IC₅₀ values ≤ 13.7 μM. This may be due to the absence of any substitution at the phenolic ring. This can be explained by the fact that the attachment of electron-donating groups (OH and OAc) led to a reduction in the cytotoxicity [44]. Compounds 56, 57, and 60 displayed significant antifungal activities against Alternaria alternata and Phytophthora capsici, with MIC values = 0.66 & 0.99 mM, 0.87 & 1.10 mM and 1.53 & 1.64 mM, respectively. Nystatin was implemented as positive control and showed effect with MIC values 0.007 and 0.061 mM. Compounds 56, 57, and 60 displayed moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with MIC values of 15.72, 16.33 and 14.91 mM. Meanwhile, compounds 59 and 35 exhibited potent effects against Staphylococcus aureus, with MIC values of 0.49 and 0.83 mM. Rifampicin was used as a positive control and showed an effect at MIC valued = 0.003 mM for bacteria. Additionally, compound 59 showed higher antibacterial effects toward S. aureus than compound 35. The present of a formyl group at the C-20 position might increase the activities for ajmaline indole alkaloids [44].

The bioassay-guided fractionation of the stem bark of Vietnamese Alstonia angustifolia using the HT-29 human colon cancer cells, led to the reporting of six MIAs, N₍₄₎-methyl-talpinine (61) [45], N₍₄₎-meth-yl-N₍₄₎,21-secotalpinine (62) [46], alstonerinal (63) [47], alstonerine (64) [48], macrocarpine B (65) [46], affinisine (66) [49], from the stem bark of A. angustifolia. Additionally, villalstonine (67), villalstonine N₍₄₎-oxide (68) [50], villalstonidine D (69) and villalstonidine E (70) [51] (Figure 10) were identified from the same plant.

Compounds 61 and 66 are sarpagine-type and compounds 62–65 are macroline-derived alkaloids whereas macroline-pleiocarpamine bisindole alkaloids are present in compounds 67–70.

Compound 61 showed significant inhibitory activity toward NF-κB (p65), with an ED₅₀ value = 1.2 μM. Rocaglamide was employed as a positive control, with ED₅₀ value = 0.9 μM. Compounds 61–64, 66 and 68–70 showed anti-leishmanial activity toward the promastigotes of Leishmania Mexicana, with IC₅₀ values < 183.5 μM. Compound 62 exhibited a potent effect, with IC₅₀ value = 57.8 μM. Amphotericin B was employed as a positive control and exhibited potent effect against L. mexicana promastigote, with an IC₅₀ value = 0.09 μM. The dimeric compounds 68–70, which contain quaternary ammonium cation at N(4), exhibited potent effect than compound 67. Additionally, compound 67 has not function group at N₍₄₎ [45]. Also, the presence of formyl and acetyl groups in 62–64. These moieties may enhance the effects of compounds belonging to macroline indole alkaloids compared with 65.

Normavacurine-21-one (71), 5-hydroxy-19, 20-E-alschomine (72), and 5-hydroxy-19, 20-Z-alschomine (73) (Figure 11), were isolated from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris cultivated in Kunming, China [52]. Compound 71 exhibited a significant antimicrobial effect against Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 10541, with an MIC = 0.78 μg/mL, whereas compound 73 showed a significant effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, with an MIC value = 0.781 μg/mL. Cefotaxime was used as a positive control, with an MIC = 0.19 μg/mL [52]. Alstoniascholarines A-Q (74–90), were identified from the leaves of A. scholaris collected from Yunnan [53,54]. Compounds 79 and 83 showed a potent antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, with MIC value = 3.13 mg/mL. Gentamycin was applied as a Positive control and showed an inhibitory effect, with an MIC value = 0.78 mg/mL. Additionally, compounds 77, 80, and 83 exhibited moderate antifungal activities toward Epidermophyton floccosum CBS 566.94, with MIC value s= 31.25 mg/mL. Griseofulvin was applied as a positive control and showed an inhibitory effect, with an MIC value = 7.81 mg/mL [53]. Compounds 85–90 showed no cytotoxicity against five tumor cell: MCF-7, A-549, HL-60, SW-480, and SMMC-7721[54].

Scholarisines H-O (91–97) (Figure 12) were isolated from the leaves of the Chinese A. scholaris [55]. The chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data and X-ray diffraction. Compounds 91–97 showed weak antibacterial activities against five strains: Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25922, Escherichia coli ATCC 11775, Providencia smartii ATCC 29916, and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 10541), with MIC values = 100 μg/mL. Gentamycin was used as a positive control, with an MIC value < 2.00 μg/mL [55].

A further study on the leaves and twigs of A. scholaris [56] led to identification of melosline A (98), B (99) and 1-[2-[2-(carboxymethyl) indole-3-yl] ethyl]-3-ethylpyridinium hydroxide inner salt (100) (Figure 13) [57]. Melosline A (98) was an unprecedented indole alkaloid, with a 6/5/6/6 tetracyclic ring skeleton. The structures were established by spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configuration of 98 was confirmed by the comparison of experimental data with the calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD). Compound 98 showed a moderate cytotoxic activity against breast cancer (MCF-7), with an IC₅₀ value = 39.78 μM. Cisplation was employed as a positive control [56].

Alstiyunnanenines A-E (101–105) (Figure 13) and alstoniascholarine I (82) (Figure 11), were isolated from A. yunnanensis [54,58]. Compounds 104, 105, and 82 displayed potent cytotoxicity against human gastric carcinoma (BGC-823 cells), human hepatocellular, (HepG2 cells), human myeloid leukemia (HL-60), human breast cancer (MCF-7), and osteosarcoma (SOSP-9607, MG-63, Saos-2, M663), with IC₅₀ values ranging between 3.2 and 5.8 μM. Adriamycin was used as a positive control and exhibited cytotoxicity, with an IC₅₀ value < 0.04 μM [58]. Three monoterpenoid indoles, alstomairines A-C (106–108) [59], together with alpneumine A (109) [60] were identified from the leaves of the chines A. mairei. Compounds 107 and 108 showed potent cytotoxic effects against osteosarcoma cells (U2-OS, Mg-63, Saos-2, and SOSP-9607) with IC₅₀ values ranging from 9.2 to 13.0 μM, whereas compounds 106 and 109 had IC₅₀ values < 15.0 μM. The presence of the methyl group on N-₄ indicate increasing the cytotoxicity in that scholaricine-type (Figure 4) than the presence of N₍₄₎-oxide moiety. Doxorubicin was used as Positive control and showed cytotoxicity, with an IC₅₀ value < 0.03 μM [59].

Alstrostine G-K (110–114) (Figure 14), were identified from the Chinese A. rostrata [61]. Compounds 110–114 showed no cytotoxicity against HeLa, SGC-7901 gastric cancer, and A-549 lung cancer at 20 µM [61].

Six nareline-type indoles including three cage-like skeletons, scholarisines T-V (115–117) [62] (Figure 15), and three previously identified analogues scholarisine W (118), scholarisine A (119), and scholarisine I (92) [55], were isolated from the leaves of the Chinese A. scholaris [56]. Compounds 115–117 displayed anti-bacterial effects against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, with an MIC value = 0.78 μg/mL. Additionally, compound (116) inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 bacterium with an MIC value = 3.12 μg/mL and was referenced with cefotaxime as a positive control. The absence of the ethyl group at C-20 position indicated an increase in the anti-bacterial activities as in 116, compared with compounds (115 and 117) [63]. Cefotaxime was used as a positive control and exhibited an inhibitory effect, with an MIC value of 0.39 μg/mL. There were scholarisines P-S (120–123), (16R)-E-isositsnikine (124) [64], nareline (125) [65], 5-methoxystrictamine (126), leuconolam (127), epileuconolam (128) [66], and N^b-demethylalstogustine (129) [67]. Also, 19-epischolaricine (130), scholaricine (131), vallesamine (132) [68], akuammidine (133) [69], 17-nor-excelsinidine (134) [70], strictosamide (135) [71,72] and compounds 19 and 21, were isolated from the same species. Compounds 123, 19, 21, 130 and 133 exhibited significant NF-κB inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ < 25 μM. Furthermore, compounds 19, 126 and 130 inhibited TNFα-induced NF-κB activation in the same dose. Three nareline-type MIAs, compounds (120, 123 and 125) were identified from A. scholaris [73].

Two ajmaline type MIAs, vincamaginine A (136), and vincamaginine B (137); four macroline oxindole- alstonisinines A (138) and B (139), alstonisinine C (140), and alstonoxine F (141); four bisindole compounds of macroline-akuammiline type; angustilongine A–D (142–145) (Figure 16) were reported from Malaysian Alstonia penangiana [73]. The structures of these alkaloids were determined by the interpretation of spectroscopic data and compounds 141–142, were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 142 and 143 showed growth inhibitory activity against human prostate carcinoma (LNCaP and PC-3), human breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231 and MCF7), human colorectal carcinoma (HCT 116 and HT-29) and human lung carcinoma (A549). Furthermore, the potent effects of 142 and 143 against HT-29 cells were evaluated, with IC₅₀ values = 0.7 ± 0.1 μM and 0.3 ± 0.0 μM, respectively (Cisplatin, IC₅₀ >10 μM). Compound 143 exhibited an effect against vincristine-resistant KB cells, with an IC₅₀ value of 0.7 ± 0.3 μM (Vincristine 0.3 ± 0.1 μM) [73].

Winphyllines A (146), B (147) [74], N_b-demethylechitamine (148) [75], 17-O-acetylnorechitamine (149) (Figure 17) [76], 12-methoxyechitamidine (150) [67], and N₍₄₎-demethylastogustine (151) [77] were isolated from the collected twigs of the Chinese A. rostrata. Compounds 146–151 exhibited cytotoxicity against cancer cells (HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW480), with IC₅₀ values = 40 μM [74]. A vincorine-type, 17-formyl-10-demethoxyvincorine N₍₄₎-oxide (152), an ajmaline-type 10-methoxyalstiphyllanine H (153), and 10-demethoxyvincorine N₍₄₎-oxide (154) were obtained from the leaves of A. scholaris [78]. The phytochemical investigation of A. scholaris led to the publication of alstoscholactine (155) and alstolaxepine (156) [79]. A further investigation on the leaves of Malaysian A. scholaris led to the reporting of alstobrogaline (157) [80]. Compounds 155 and 156 exhibited no cytotoxic effects, whereas 156 induced marked vasorelaxation in reported rat aortic rings precontracted with phenylephrine, with EC₅₀ = 6.58 ± 3.66 μM and Emax = 93.9 ± 4.3% (cf. verapamil, EC₅₀ = 0.55 ±0.19 μM and Emax = 106.4 ± 3.4%) [74]. Compound 157 showed weak cytotoxic activity against breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and MCF7, with IC₅₀ values = 25.3 and 24.1 μM, respectively [80].

The scaffold of the reported monoterpene indole compounds from A. scholaris is affected by the geographical environment. Indian, Pakistanian and Thai. A. scholaris are rich with picrinine-type indole compounds, whereas, those identified from Indonesia and the Philippine, are rich in angustilobine-type [81]. Genus Alstonia was addressed as a source of angustilongines A (142) and B (143). These compounds showed more potent anticancer activities than those recognized from A. penangiana, although all of them belong to macroline- and akuammiline-type bisindole alkaloids.

A review entitled "Alstonia scholaris and Alstonia macrophylla: A comparative review on traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology" was published in 2014 and mentioned the compounds obtained from A. scholaris from 1976 to 2009, and from A. macrophylla from 1987 to 2013 [82]. A review published in 2018 entitled "The alstoscholarisine compounds: isolation, structure determination, biogenesis, biological evaluation and synthesis" studied the alstoscholarisine compounds obtained from A. scholaris [83]. Furthermore, a review published in 2016 called "An overview phytochemistry and chromatographic analysis of Alstonia scholaris used as a traditional medicine" discussed A. scholaris compounds which were reported between 1965 and 2009 [84].

The identified metabolites from Alstonia were categorized under two main classes: corynanthe and aspidosprma. Corynanthe contains eight subclasses: ajmaline-type (18, and 33–35), picrinine-type (19–21 and 42–44), akummiline-type (22), vincorine-type (47, 50 and 148–149), sarpagine-type (61, 66 and 101), macroline-type (62–65), scholaricine-type (104–109) and macroline oxindole-type (138–141). Meanwhile,, aspidosprmia contains six subclasses: aspidosprma-type (31 and 32) vincamine-type (82–84 and 88–90), aspidofractinine-type (1 and 4), bisindole alkaloids macroline-pleiocarpamine-type (67–70), and macroline- akuammiline-type (142–145). Ajmaline derivatives with formyl group and/or a quaternary ammonium cation N(4) showed an interesting bioactivity.

3. Kopsia

Kopsia (Family Apocynaceae) contained 30 species with a distribution in China, India, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Sixteen species were grown in Malaysia [85], and five species were grown in Thailand [86]. These plants are considered as rich sources of indole-containing compounds. Traditionally, some of the species have been used for the treatment of tonsillitis, dropsy and rheumatoid arthritis. Several species have been reported to have antitumor, antimanic, antitussive and antileishmanial effects [87,88,89]. A review published in 2017 was interested in reporting indole alkaloids from genus kopsia plants regarding reversing multidrug resistance in vincristine-resistant KB cells for example, kopsirensine B, arboloscine A [90], grandilodines A and C, and lapidilectine B [91,92].

Kopsiyunnanines G (158) and kopsiyunnanines H (159) (Figure 18) with an aspidosperma-containing skeleton were isolated from the aerial part of the Chinese Kopsia arborea [93]. Kopsihainins A (160), B (161), and C (162) were isolated as new compounds from K. hainanensis [89], along with the known compounds, kopsinine (163) [87] and methyl demethoxycarbonylchanofruticosinate (164) [94] were isolated from the stems of Chinese K. hainanensis. Compounds 163 and 164 showed significant antitussive activity, these compounds are within the aspidofractinine-type and methyl chanofruticosinate-type indoles, respectively. Compounds 163 and 164 inhibited coughing by 88% and 76%, respectively [83]. Compound 163 was more active, with an ID₅₀ value = 0.11 mmoL/kg, whereas compound 164 exhibited an effect, with an ID₅₀ value = 0.45 mmol/kg, (Codeine, ID₅₀ = 0.1 mmol/kg) [90]. The link from C-2 to C-20 in compound 163 and the attachment of the methoxy carbonyl group at C-16 position promote the antitussive activity.

Four alkaloids of aspidofractinine-type, singaporentine A (165), N₍₁₎-formylkopsininic acid (166), N₍₁₎-formylkopsininic acid-N₍₄₎-oxide (167), and 15-hydroxykopsamine (168), along with an aspidospermatan-type, 14α-hydroxy-N₍₄₎-methylcondylocarpine (169), and singaporentinidine (170) (Figure 18) were identified from the barks and leaves of Malaysian K. singapurensis [95].

From the leaves and stems of the Chinese medicinal plant K. hainanensis, four compounds, kopsininate (171), N₁-decarbomethoxy chanofruticosinic acid (172), methyl N₁- decarbomethoxy chanofruticosinate N₍₄₎-oxide (173) and methyl chanofruticosinate N₍₄₎-oxide (174) (Figure 19) were reported [96]. Compound 172 was the most effective against Erwinia carotovora bacterium, with an MIC of 7.8 mg/mL. Furthermore, compound 172 showed antifungal activities against four plant pathogenic fungi: Penicillium italicum, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Niveum, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum. Cubense had an EC₅₀ = from 15.2 to 43.8 μg/mL dose values. Compound 172 showed a potent effect towards F. oxysporum f. sp. Cubense, with an EC₅₀ = 15.2 mg/mL. A comparison of this result with the positive control Midlothian, with an EC₅₀ = 57.0 mg/mL showed compound 172 to be more active. The presence of carboxylic group attached to the C-2 position in 172 is important for antifungal activity, particularly, in methyl chanofruticosinate-type indoles [96].

Three aspidofractinie-type compounds, 5,6-secokopsinine (175), 5β-hydroxykopsinine (176), 16-epi-kopsinilam (177) [97], two kopsine-type metabolites, 5-oxokopsinic acid (178), and N_a-demethoxycarbonyl-12-methoxykopsine (179) [97], a strychnos-type, 14(S)-hydroxy-19(R)- methoxytubotaiwine (180), and vincamine-type, and strychnos type 19-oxo-(−)-eburnamonine (181), 19(S)-hydroxy-Δ¹⁴-vincamone (182) [97], along with ten known compounds, 163 [87], kopsinilam (183) [98], kopsinic acid (184), 12-methoxykopsine (185) [99], kopsanone 186), 19(R)- methoxytubotaiwine (187) [88], (−)-eburnamonine (188), 19-OH-(−)-eburnamonine (189), and Δ¹⁴-vincamone (190) [97] were yielded from the stem bark of the Thai Kopsia jasminiflora (Figure 19). Compounds 163, 183, and 184 belong to aspidofractinie-type, 185 and 186 belong to Kopsine-type, 187 belongs to strycno-type, 188–190 belonging to the vincamine- type MIAs.

The vincamine-type compound 182 showed a potent inhibitory activity against HT29, HCT116, and A549 cancer cells, with IC₅₀ values = 0.36, 0.40, and 0.51 μM, respectively. Meanwhile, compounds 188 and 189 showed moderate activities with IC₅₀ values ranging from 2.00 to 2.61 μM (Docetaxel, IC₅₀ < 0.0005 μM). These results indicated the structural features that are necessary for the presence of a vincamine-type carbonyl group at the C-16 position, forming an amide function group, and a methylene group or hydroxyl methine at C-19 position in 182, 188, and 189 [97]. The presence of a double bond in the piperidine ring between C-15 and C-16 may be responsible for increasing the activity of compound 182.

A study on the content of twigs of K. arborea grown in Thailand revealed the isolation of a new MIA, phutdonginin (191) [100], an eburnane-type compound, together with eight known compounds, among them, 164 [87], 189 [88] melodinine E (192) [101], kopsilongine (193), kopsamine (194) [94], (−)-methylenedioxy-11,12-kopsinaline (195) [87], decarbomethoxykopsiline (196) [102], and vincadifformine (197) [103]. Only 194 and 196 displayed AChE inhibition activity with MIR values 12.5 and 6.25 μg, respectively, compared with reference drug galanthamine MIR = 0.004 μg. In addition, compounds 194 and 198 also displayed the weak acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition of 23.3% and 45.7% in a microplate test at 1 mM. Compounds 191 and 189 showed moderate inhibition of bacterium toward Escherichia coli TISTR 780 with MIC = 32 μg/mL, with vancomycin and gentamycin references drugs with MIC values 0.125–0.25 μg/mL [100].

Malaysian Kopsia arborea was investigated and arboridinine (198) [85] was reported (Figure 20). The further investigation of the aerial parts of K. arborea led to the isolation of kopsiyunnanines J1 and J2 (199a and 199b) [104]. Compound 198 exhibited a moderate relaxation effect that was dependent on the contraction of phenylephrine-induced in the rat aortic rings, with an EC₅₀ of 4.98 μM, and an E_max 60.6 ± 7.8% with the reference control isoprenaline with an EC₅₀ value = 0.08 μM, and an E_max 79.7 ± 4.2% [85].

Seven aspidofractinine -type alkaloids, paucidirinine (200), paucidirisine (201), paucidactinine (202), pauciduridine (203), paucidactine D (204), paucidactine E (205), and paucidisine (206), along with Additionally, four eburnane skeleton, (−)-19-oxoisoeburnamine (207), (−)-19(R)-hydroxyeburnamenine (208), (−)-19(R)-hydroxy-O-ethylisoeburnamine (209), and larutienine B (210) were isolated from Kopsia pauciflora [91]. Moreover, twelve compounds, paucidactine A (211), paucidactine B (212) [105], paucidactine C (213) [88], 5, 22-dioxokopsane (214) [98], (+)-eburnamonine (215) [94], (+)-eburnamenine (216) [106], (−)-eburnamine (217), (+)-isoeburnamine (218) [94], (+)-19-oxoeburnamine (219) [105], (−)-19(R)-hydroxyisoeburnamine (220), (+)-19(R)-hydroxyeburnamine (221) [87], and larutienine A (222) [90] were published. Furthermore, three bisindole compounds have been identified, (−)-norpleiomutine (223), (+)-kopsoffinol (224) [107], and (−)-demethylnorpleiomutine (225) [87] and (+)-kopsoffine (226) (Figure 20) [107], were identified from the same species. A bisindole alkaloid were isolated by Kitajima at et from Yunnan Kopsia arborea, named Kopsiyunnanine M (227) [108].

Compounds 223 and 224 exhibited growth inhibitory activity against MCF-7, PC-3, A549, and HCT-116, with IC₅₀ values ranging between 11.5 and 25.1 μM (Cisplatin, IC₅₀ value in the range of 5.0–14.3 μM). The obliteration of the biological activity in 225 may be due to the presence of a carboxylic group in C-16, instead of a methoxycarbonyl group in 223 [91]. Arborisidine (228) and arbornamine (229) were isolated from a Malaysian K. arborea. Compound 228 represented a unique skeleton [109]. Compounds 228 and 229 exhibited no activities against KB, PC-3, HCT116, A549 and HT-29 cells [109].

Six new Kopsinidine C-E (230–232), 11,12-methylenedioxychanofruticosinic acid (233), 12-methoxychanofruticosinic acid (234), and N(4)-methylkopsininate (235), in addition to chanofruticosinic acid (236) as new natural compound [110], along with compounds 163, 164, 178, 183, 179, and 215 (Figure 21) were isolated from K. officinalis. Additionally, Kopsinine methochloride (237), demethoxycarbonylkopsin (238) [111], methyl chanofruticosinate (239), methyl 11,12-methylenedioxychanofruticosinate (240) [94], methyl 12-methoxychanofruticosinate (241), methyl 11,12-methylenedioxy-N₁-decarbomethoxychanofruticosinate (242) [112], kopsininic acid (243), and (−)-11,12-methylenedioxykopsinaline (244) [98] were identified from the same species. Furthermore, (−)-N-methoxycarbonyl-11,12-methylenedioxykopsinaline (245) [98], (−)-N-methoxycarbonyl- 12-methoxykopsinaline (246), N-carbomethoxy-11-hydroxy-12- methoxykopsinaline (247) [113], kopsinoline (248) [114], (−)-12-methoxykopsinaline (249) [98], 11,12-methylenedioxykopsinaline N(4)- oxide (250) [87], kopsinine B (251) [115], rhazinilam (252) [66], and pleiocarpamine methochloride (253) [116] were all isolated from the twigs and leaves of chines K. officinalis. Compound 252 displayed a significantly inhibition effect of the human T cell proliferation, which was activated by using anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibodies, with an IC₅₀ = 1.0 μM, showing stimulation, with an IC₅₀ = 1.1 μM [110]. Compound 252 was indicated to have the highest cytotoxic effect due to the presence of a hydroxyl group in C-14 and C-15 position [110].

Kopsioffines A-C (254–256) [117] (Figure 22) were isolated from the leaves and stems of K. officinalis. These compounds possess a relatively novel ten-membered lactam ring [117]. Additionally, five MIAs, Kopsifolines G-K (257–261) were identified from the same plant [118]. Moreover, kopsifoline A (262) was isolated from the aerial parts of an unidentified Kopsia sp. [119]. Compounds 259–261 exhibited cytotoxic effects against dermatoma (HS-1, A431, SCL-1, HS-4), gastric carcinoma (BGC-823), breast cancer (MCF-7), and colon cancer (SW480), with IC₅₀ values in a range between 11.8 and 13.8; between 10.3 and 12.5; between 7.3 and 9.5 μM, respectively (Adriamycin, IC₅₀ < 34 nM). Compound 261 showed a potent cytotoxic effect that may be due to the presence of two hydroxyl groups in the C-14 and C-15 positions, instead of one hydroxyl group at C-15 position in compounds 259 and 260. Compounds 257, 258 and 262 exhibited a weak cytotoxic effect with IC₅₀ values > 20 μM. This may be due to the absence of a hydroxyl group in that position [118]. Compounds 254–256 exhibited weak inhibitory effects on yeast α-glucosidase in vitro with IC₅₀ values > 50 μM [118]. Compounds 259–260 exhibited interesting antifungal and antimicrobial activities toward five pathogen bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Shigella dysenteriae and Klebsiella pneumoniae), and also exhibited an antibacterial effect on the oral pathogens Streptococcus viridans and Streptococcus mutans. Netilmicin was used as a reference drug, with MIC values < 0.18 mm. 5-Flucytocine was used as a positive control with MIC values < 0.09 mM. Alkaloid 261 displayed the highest antimicrobial activity toward the tested pathogens, with an MIC value of 0.15–1.14 mM, while compounds 259 and 260 showed significant activities, with MIC values of 0.77–3.09 and 0.72–1.37 mM. Compounds 257, 258 and 262 were inactive. The present of a hydroxyl group at the piperidine ring enhanced the anticancer and antimicrobial activity in this subtype of indoles [118]. The investigation of the aerial parts of K. arborea led to the isolation of three compounds: kopsiarborines A-C (263–265) [120]. Meanwhile, the study of the aerial parts of K. officinalis led to the reporting of three MIAs, kopsiaofficines A–C (266–268) (Figure 22) [121]. Compounds 263 and 264 showed significant cytotoxic activities against H446, H292, A549, H460, ATCC, and 95-D, with IC₅₀ values < 20 μM, (Doxorubicin, IC₅₀ value = 0.06 μM). Compound 264 exhibited a potent activity with IC₅₀ values < 9.5 μM, and compound 265 was inactive [120]. Compound 268 exhibited a potent cytotoxicity against H446, A549, ATCC, 95-D, H460, H292, SPCA-1, and lung cancer cells, with IC₅₀ values < 10 mM, while compound 266 showed some cytotoxic activity with IC₅₀ value < 20 μM (Doxorubicin, IC₅₀ = 13.7–33.7 nM) [121].

Kopsiofficines H–L (269–273) [122] (Figure 23), together with fourteen compounds, 164, 208, 239, 241, (+)-O-methyleburnamine (274) [93], (−)-O-methylisoeburnamine (275) [123], 16-isoeburnamine (276) [124], 20-oxoeburnamenine (277) [125], methyl 11, 12-methylenedioxychanofruticosinate (278) [99], methyl N-(decarbomethoxy)-11, 12-(methylenedioxy) chanofruticosinate (279) [126], O-methylleuconolamm (280) [127], leuconodine D (281) [128], oxayohimban-16-carboxylic acid (282) [129], and 19, 20-dihydroisositsirikine (283) [130] (Figure 23), were identified from the stems of K. officinalis plant [122]. Compounds 164, 241, 270, 271, 274, 275, 279, and 281 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity towards IL-1β, PGE2 and TNF-α at 5 μg/mL. Deametasona was used as a positive control at 10 μg/mL [122].

Table 1 methyl chanofruticosinate-type (164, 173–175), aspidosoermatan-type (169, 199), kopsine-type (179, 185–186), strychnos-type (180, 187), vincamine-type (181, 188, 189), paucidactine-type (204, 205) and eburnane-type (207–210), all these subtypes belongs to the main class aspidospirma, and very few compounds belong to the main class of corynanthe-type indoles (Figure 4). Vincamine and methyl chanofruticosinate derivatives showed interesting biological activity.

4. Rauvolfia

Rauvolfia (family Apocynaceae) contains 60 species. It contains trees or shrubs that are distributed in Africa, America, and Asia [131]. Rauvolfia serpentine is one of the most important medicinal plant that has been considered as a drug lead for a long time [132]. Rauvolfia has been used traditionally for the treatment of several diseases, such as high blood pressure (hypertensive), fever (malaria), arrhythmia, cancer, oxidative stress, microbial problems, intestinal spleen ailments, and various mental disorders [133]. Therapeutically, it is a source of monoterpenoid indoles, including ajmaline (antiarrhythmic), ajmalicine, yohimbine, reserpine (antihypertensive), and serpentine [133].

A review entitled "Rauvolfia serpentina L. Benth. ex Kurz. phytochemical, pharmacological and therapeutic aspects" was published in 2013 and evaluated various bioactive compounds as ajmaline, ajmalicine, deserpidine, reserpine, reserpiline, serpentine, rescinnamine and yohimbine [132]. A review entitled "Chemical and Biological Perspectives of Monoterpene Indole Compounds from Rauwolfia species" mentioned the compounds obtained until 2016 [134]. Another review described the structures and pharmacological potentials of the plant species Rauvolfia tetraphylla L. (Apocynaceae) [135].

Two normonoterpenoid indole compounds were isolated from the aerial parts of Rauvolfia vomitoria, rauvomines A (284) and B (285) [136] along with two known compounds peraksine (286) (Figure 24) [137] and alstoyunine A (287) [42]. Compound 285 displayed significant anti-inflammatory effects against murine macrophages (RAW 264.7), with an IC₅₀ value = 39.6 μM, whereas, compounds 284, 286 and 287 displayed moderate anti-inflammatory effects with IC₅₀ values = 55.5, 65.2, and 75.3 μM, respectively, (Celecoxib, IC₅₀ = 34.3 μM) [136]. Compound 285 showed a potent activity which maybe double the number of connections linking C-20 to C-16 in sarpagine-type indoles, compared with compound 284 [63].

Three compounds, 11-hydroxyburnamine (288) and rauvoyunnanines A and B (289–290) were identified from Chinese R. yunnanensis [138]. Additionally, fourteen compounds 135 [139], lochnerine (291) [140], serpentinic acid (292) [141], reserpine (293) [142], (−)-yohimbine (294) [143], ajmaline (295) [143], mauiensine (296) [144], ajmalicine (297) [145], sitsirikine (298) [146], strictosidinic acid (299) [147], caboxine B (300) [148], isocaboxine B (301) [148], spegatrine (302) [149], and 19(S),20(R)-dihydroperaksine (303) [150] (Figure 24) were isolated also from chines R. yunnanensis. Compound 293 displayed a weak cytotoxicity against HT-29 and SW480, with IC₅₀ values = 35.2 and 45.3 μM, respectively. Auranofin was used as a positive control and showed cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ values = 2.5 and 3.9 μM, respectively. Compounds 294 and 299 displayed immunosuppressive activities on human T cell proliferation, with IC₅₀ values = 5.9 and 5.0 μM, respectively. All compounds except 294 and 299 showed weak activities with IC₅₀ values > 50 μM [138]. The metabolites were identified from genus Rauvolfia and were categorized under the corynanthe-type. The compounds were also classified under three subclasses including: sarpagine-type 284–285, picraline-type 288 and ajmaline-type 295–296 and 298 [138].

5. Ervatamia

The genus Ervatamia contains 120 species. It is distributed in Asia and Australian. Of which, fifteen species and five varieties are grown in south China. Ervatamia is a rich source of iboga-type MIAs, which is characterized by structural novelty and biological diversity including neuroprotective, anti-tumor, and anti-addiction activities [151,152,153].

Six Iboga-type compounds: ervataine (304) [151], ibogaine (305) [154], coronaridine (306) [49], heyneanine (307) [155], voacangine hydroxyindolenine (308) [156,157] and coronaridine hydroxyindolenine (309) [158,159] (Figure 25), were obtained from the Chinese Ervatamia yunnanensis [151].

Compound 306 exhibited significant protective effects toward MPP⁺ (1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium) and induced damage in primary cortical neurons with an IC₅₀ = 12.5 μM. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is caused by MPP⁺ a toxic agent that interferes with the function of mitochondria, thus causing neuronal damage and death. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was used as a positive control and showed an inhibitory effect, with an IC₅₀ value = 200 ng/mL [49].

Eight compounds, coronaridine (306) [49], coronaridine hydroxyindolenine (309) [158,159], 10-hydroxycoronaridine (310) [160], voacangine (311) [153], 19(S)-heyneanine (312) [160], 19(R)-heyneanine (313) [161], heyneanine hydroxyindolenine (314) [162], and vobasine (315) [163], were identified from the stems of E. hainanensis. Compounds 306, 309–315 displayed acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. Compounds 306 and 311 displayed a potent cholinesterase inhibitory effect, with IC₅₀ values = 8.6 and 4.4 μM, respectively. Galantamine was used as a reference drug, with an IC₅₀ = 3.2 μM, that is used for Alzheimer’s disease [164]. Compound 310 possessed a hydroxyl group at the phenyl moiety, which was replaced by proton in compound 306. This led to a decrease in the inhibitory activity of AChE in 306 compared to 310. The methoxy group at the phenyl moiety in 311, led to an improvement in the activity. This indicated that the electron-donor substituents attached at the phenyl group were important for the improvement of AChE inhibition [164].

Ervachinine E (316) [165] and rutaecarpine (317) [166] were isolated from E. chinensis [165]. It displayed moderate antitumor activities against HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, and SW480 cancer cells, with values of IC₅₀ ranging between 6.59 and 14.70 μM. (Cisplatin, IC₅₀ values between 1.00 and 26.75 μM) [165].

The compound Ervahainine A (318), an oxindole derivative that is cyano-substituted, was identified from the twigs and leaves of E. hainanensis [167]. Compound 318 showed growth inhibitory activities toward HepG2 and HepG2/ADM cells with IC₅₀ values of 12.47 ± 0.24 and 17.68 ± 0.31 μM [167].

Seven compounds, 3-oxo-7R-coronaridine hydroxyindolenine (333), 3S-cyano-7S-coronaridine hydroxyindolenine (334), 3R-hydroxy-7S-coronaridine hydroxyindolenine (335), 3S-(24S-hydroxyethyl)-coronaridine (336), 3S-(24R-hydroxyethyl)-coronaridine (337), 5-oxo-6S-hydroxycoronaridine (338) and 5-oxo-6S-methoxy-coronaridine (339) [175], along with six others, 306, 7S-coronaridine hydroxyindolenine (340) [176], 3-oxo-7S-coronaridine hydroxylindolenine (341) [177], 5-oxocoronaridine (342) [177], 3-oxocoronaridine (343) [178] and pseudoindoxyl coronaridine (344) [177], (Figure 27) from identified from twigs and leaves of E. hainanensis [175].

Another study on the twigs and leaves of E. officinalis led to the reporting of three MIAs, ervaoffines E–G (345–347) [179], and six compounds 306, 342, lirofoline A (348), lirofoline B (349) [172], 6-oxo-ibogaine (350) [180], and 8-oxo-ibogaine lactam (351) [179,180,181]. Compound 347 showed a significant neuroprotective effect towards damage induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) of the cortical neurons cultured of ischemic stroke in vitro, with an IC₅₀ = 100 μM, Neuroserpin was used as a reference drug, with an IC₅₀ = 20 ng/mL [179]. Two compounds were obtained from the roots of E. chinensis, erchinines A and B (352,353) [63]. Both compounds 352 and 353 displayed a potent significant antibacterial activity toward Bacillus subtilis which was better than that of the antibacterial drugs fibraurtine with an MIC = 25 μM and berberine with an MIC = 12.5 μM that are derived from plant. Additionally, compound 352 displayed an equal antifungal effect against (Trichophyton rubrum) to the reference drug griseofulvin, with an MIC = 6.25 μM.

Ervapandine A (354) [182], 3R-hydroxyibogaine (355) [182], and 12-hydroxyakuammicine N₄-oxide (356) [182], along with four known ones, 313, 305, 19-epi-voacristine (357) [183], taberdivarine I (358) [184] and 12-hydroxyakuamicine (359) [185], (Figure 28) were identified from the leaves and twigs of Chinese E. pandacaqui [182].

Liu et al. (2018) [186] studied the roots of E. divaricate and identified two unprecedented trimeric MIAs, Ervadivamines A (360) and B (361), together with the dimeric compound, 19,20-dihydroervahanine A (362), (Figure 29) and two monomeric ones, ibogaine (305) and Ibogamine (363) [187]. Compound 359 displayed a moderate cytotoxic effect against MCF-7, with an IC₅₀ value = 33.61 μM [182]. Compound 360 showed a significant positive cytotoxicity against MCF-7, A-549, HT-29 and HepG2/ADM and showed potent effect against HepG2/ADM, with an IC₅₀ value = 12.55 ± 0.54 μM (Adriamycin, IC₅₀ = 45.70 ± 2.15 μM) [186].

Two pair of MIAs epimers composed of, ervatamine (364), [188] 20-epi-ervatamine (365), [188] dregamine (366), and [188] tabernaemontanine (367) [188] and two compounds, apparicine (368) [189] and isovoacangine (369) [190], were isolated from E. yunnanensis [191].

The Ervatamia genus is known to produce iboga-type indole derivatives, which contain two subclasses, flabelliformide-type (364, 365) and apparicine-type (368) (Figure 28), with compounds belongonging to the main class corynathe. The iboga-type showed an interesting bioactivity in the nervous system.

6. Tabernaemontana

The Genus Tabernaemontana (subfamily Rauvolfioideae) contains 110 species, which are distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions. Thirty species are grown in Brazil, whereas, 44 species were grown in America and the rest in different places around the world. Traditionally, the plants of this genus have been used for the treatment of hypertension, sore throat, and abdominal pain [6,192]. A review article entitled “Brazilian Tabernaemontana genus: indole compounds and phytochemical activities” activities was published in 2016 [6]. It concerned in the monomeric and dimeric MIAs reported from the genus. A review article entitled: A review on tabernaemontana spp.: Multipotential medicinal plant, shows the MIAs reported from this genus until 2015 [6].

Conodusine A-E (370–374), apocidine A (375) and B (376), conoduzidine A (377), tabernamidine A (378) and B (379) (Figure 29) were isolated from the Malaysian stem-bark of Tabernaemontana corymbose malaysian [193]. Additionally, thirty-two compounds were also identified from the same plant, including 307, 314, 338, (+)-catharanthine (380), tabernamine (381) [194], 19′(S)-hydroxytabernamine (382) [195], and 19′(R)-hydroxytabernamine (383) [195]. 16′-decarbomethoxyvoacamine (384) [180] (Figure 29). The chemical structures were determined based on analysis of the NMR and MS spectral data. However, compounds 370, 372, 374, 375 and 377 were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses. 371 and 371 belong to iboga alkaloids and tabernamidine B is an iboga-containing bisindole. Tabernamidine B (379) is notable for the presence of an α-substituted acetyl group at C-20 of the iboga carbon skeleton. The absolute configuration of (+)-conodusine E was based on an analysis of the ECD data in correlation with (−)-heyneanine and X-ray analysis. Compounds 381–384 exhibited growth inhibitory effects against drug-sensitive KB/S, with an IC₅₀ value < 4.7 μM and vincristine-resistant (KB/VJ300) cells with an IC₅₀ value < 4.2 μM. For that type of human oral cancer cell lines, vincristine was used as a reference drug with an IC₅₀ value < 1.8 nM [193].

Two compounds, isoakuammiline (385) and 18-hydroxypseudovincadifformine (386) [196], have been reported from the American fruits of T. litoralis. Additionally, five compounds 3,19-oxidocoronaridine (387) [196], strictosidine (388) [196], 306, heyneanine 307, and tabersonine (17), have been identified from the same species [196]. Strictosidine is the major alkaloid in fruit arils, however in the capsule strictosidine it was converted to mainly iboga and pseudoaspidosperma alkaloids. However, in seeds, strictosidine was converted to both iboga and aspidosperma alkaloids, but the only major iboga alkaloid, coronaridine, was not substituted, whereas in fruit capsule coronaridine was oxidized to form heyneanine and 3,19-oxidocoronaridine.

Tabervarines A (389) and B (390) [197], 311, 369, vobasidine C (391) [198], 311, 368, ervadivaricatine B (392) [187], pedunculine (393) [199], tabernaemontanine (367) [198] and polyervine (394) [200] were published from the twigs and leaves of the Chinese T. divaricate (Figure 30). Compounds 388 and 389 exhibited a weak cytotoxic effect against cancer MCF-7, SMMC-7721, HL-60, A-549, and SW480 cells at a value > 40 μM [197].

Four new bisindole compounds, flabellipparicine (395), 19,20-dihydrovobparicine (396), 10′- demethoxy-19,20-dihydrovobatensine D (397) and 3′-(2-oxopropyl)ervahanine A (398) [201], together with ten known compounds, 381, 368, ervahanine A (399) [202], vobparicine (400) [203], 19,20-dihydrotabernamine (401) [204], 19,20-dihydrotabernamine A (402) [205], taberdivarine E (403) [184], tubotaiwine (404) [206], hydroxy-3-(2-oxopropyl)coronaridineindolenine (405) [204], and deoxytubulosine (406) [201] (Figure 31) were identified from the stems of T. divaricate. Compounds 368, 395–403 and 406 exhibited cytotoxic activities against MCF-7 and A-549 with IC₅₀ values < 8.1 μM. Compound 406 exhibited the highest effects against MCF-7 and A-549 with IC₅₀ values of 0.1 and 0.2 nM, respectively. 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38) was employed as a positive control and showed cytotoxic effect, with an IC₅₀ value < 2 nM [201]. The presence of β-carboline benzoquinolizidine nucleus played an important role in increasing the cytotoxicity in 406, whereas, compounds (368 and 395–403) possessed two NH indolic group [201].

(3R,7S,14R,19S,20R)-19-hydroxypseudovincadifformine (407) [207], 17-demethoxy-hydroisorhyn chophylline (408) [208], 17-demethoxy-isorhynchophylline (409) [208], voachalotine (410) [171], 12-methoxyl-voaphylline (411) [209], and conophylline (412) [209] (Figure 32) were isolated from the branches and leaves of Chinese T. bufalina. Compound 412 showed potent cytotoxic activities against B16 and MDA-MB-231 cells with IC₅₀ values of 0.13 and 8.9 μM, respectively. Gambogic acid was used as a positive control with IC₅₀ values 22.1 and 13.5 μM, respectively [207].

Two compounds, 5,6-dioxo-11-methoxy voacangine (413), and (−)-apparicin-21-one (414), and heyneanine (307), were identified from the fruits of cameroonean T. contorta [210] lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. BAY 11-7082 was used as positive control with 10 μM [210]. Tabernabovines A–C (415–417) were isolated from T. bovina [211]. Compound 415 displayed potent inhibitory activity of NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages with IC₅₀ value 44.1 value μM. l-NMMA was used as a positive control and showed an inhibitory effect with IC₅₀ value = 48.6 μM [211].

Previous studies have proven that various bisindole compounds have more effect than monomeric indole compounds, including the dimeric indoles such as (euburnane–aspidospermatan, euburnane–ibogan, akuammidine–ibogan, aspidospermatan– aspidospermatan and vobasine–strychnan) type compounds. Interestingly, dimeric indoles showed more cytotoxicity than the monomeric units.

The Tabernaemontana genus produced iboga type indoles, which contained four subclasses, such as vincamine-type, apparicine-type and akuammidine, these compounds which belongs to the main class aspidosperma and corynanthe, respectively.

7. Rhazya

Rhazya comprises two species, Rhazya stricta (R. stricta) and Rhazya orientalis (R. stricta) [212]. R. orientalis grown in western Thrace and northeastern Turkey [213] whereas, R. stricta is grown in South Asia (Afghanistan, Pakistan and India) and on the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabian, Qatar, UEA, Iraq) and Iran. Rhazya is a rich source of indole-containing compounds. Traditionally, it is has been used to cure various diseases, such as fever, rheumatism, inflammation, skin infections, sore throat, diabetes, and stomach disorders. For example, strictanol, sewarine, tetrahydrosecamine vallesiachotamine and tetrahydrosecaminediol exhibit anticancer properties [213,214,215,216,217,218]. A recent study on the aerial parts of R. stricta by Ahmad et al. [215], several MIAs were isolated including, three new, secopleiocarpamine A (418), 16,17-Epoxyisositsirikine (419), and 2-Ethyl-3[2-(3-ethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine)ethyl]-indole (420) [215] (Figure 33), five previously reported compounds from other Apocynaceae genera (126, 127, 133, 298 and 404), and a number of previously isolated MIAs from the same species: 2-ethyl-3[2-(3-ethylpiperidine)ethyl]-indole (421), tetrahydrosecodine (422), 16,17-dihydrosecodine (423) [216], deacetylakuammilin (424) [217], rhazimal (425), strictamine-N-oxide (426) [218], rhazinaline (427) [212], rhazinaline N_b-oxide (428) [219], akuammicine (429) [220], 16R-E-isositsirikine (430) [221], dihydrositsirikine (431) [222], antirhine (432) [129], vincadifformine N₍₄₎-oxide (433) [223], eburenine (434) [93], winchinine B (435), quebrachamine (436) [224] and strictanol (437) (Figure 33) [215,225] were isolated from R. stricta. Furthermore, 16-epi-stemmadenine-N-oxide (438) (Figure 33), stemmadenine-N-methyl (439), and 20-epi-antirhine (440) were reported from R. stricta [226]. Additionally, isopicrinine (441) was isolated from the leaves of R. stricta, collected from Bahra, Saudi Arabia [227]. Abdul-Hameed et al. (2021) [228] identified two new indole alkaloids named, epirhazyaminine (442) and 20-epi-sitsirikine (443), together with five known compounds, 430, 432, 434, 437 and strictamine (444) were obtained from the aerial parts of R. stricta, collected from AL-Madinah city, Saudi Arabia [228]. Compounds 418, 422, 428, 432, 434, and 436 exhibited moderate growth inhibitory activities toward Candida strains (C. guilliermondii, C. albicans, C. krusei, C. lusitaniae and C. glabrata) with MIC values ranging from 3.125 to 50 μg/mL. (Amphotericin B, MIC value < 1 μg/mL) [213]. Compound 438 displayed a cytotoxic effect against HCT-116, PC-3, and HepG2, with IC₅₀ values = 2.20, 2.25, and1.9 μM, respectively, (Cisplatin, IC₅₀ values ≤ 0.90 μM). Furthermore, compound 439 significantly hindered of the cancer cells to migration and preventing the wound healing at 24 and 48 h (from 81 and 77% to 68 and 46%, respectively). It also inhibited proliferation and prevented cell migration of all cancer cell was evaluated, with an IC₅₀ = 70 μM [223]. Compound 441 displayed a potent cytotoxic effect towards MCF-7, with an IC₅₀ value = 240 μM [224]. Compounds 430, 432, 434, 437, and 442–444 displayed weak activities against three cancer cell lines (HCT-116, PC-3, and HepG2), with IC₅₀ in the range of 45.0 ± 0.012 and 85.0 ± 0.068 μM against HCT-116, IC₅₀ in the range 39.0 ± 0.012 and 87.0 ± 0.068 μM against PC-3, and IC₅₀ in the range 72.0 ± 0.164 and 87.0 ± 0.032 μM against HepG-2μM) against HepG-2 [225]. The Rhazya genus contains many MIAs subclasses, such as secodine-type (420–424), akuammiline-type (426), akummicine-type (428) and picrinine-type (441), (Figure 3), with compounds belonging to the main classes aspidosperma and corynanthe.

8. Biosynthesis of Monoterpenoid Indole Alkaloids

Monoterpenoidal indoles are obtained from the reaction of tryptamine with secologanin terpenoid. Condensation of tryptamine with Secologanin produces strictosidine by the Mannich-link reaction. The deglycosylation of strictosidine converts it to a hemiacetal. Opening the hemiacetal led to forming an aldehyde group, which then reacts with the (N-4) secondary amine of strictosidine to form 4,21-dehydrocorynanthenine. Allylic isomerization moves the double bond of vinyl to a conjugation with iminium nitrogen that generates dehydrogeissoschizine, which is then cyclized to form cathenamine. The reduction of cathenamine in the presence of NADPH forms ajmalicine (corynanthe-type) [229].

The formation of Preakuammicine occurs from dehydrogeissoschizine. Preakuammicine intermediate (strychnos-type) is the common precursor of the strychnos, aspidosperma and iboga indole alkaloids. Preakuammicine reduced to form stemmadenine, then rearranged to form the acrylic ester dehydrosecodine, which is a common intermediate for iboga and aspidosperma skeletons. Tabersonine (aspidosperma type) and catharanthine (iboga type) are formed the Diels-Alder reaction (Scheme 1) [229].

Scheme 1 — Biosynthesis of corynanthe, aspidosperma and iboga indoles.

Polyneuridine aldehyde (sarpagan type) is an intermediate compound of the ajmaline pathway. The possibility of a mechanism where the sarpagan bridge enzyme converts an isomer of 4,21-dehydrogeissoschizine to polyneuridine aldehyde is shown (Scheme 2). Polyneuridine aldehyde methyl ester is hydrolyzed by polyneuridine aldehyde esterase, generating an acid which decarboxylates, to yield epi-vellosamine. Epi-vellosamine transforms to the ajmaline alkaloid vinorine. The hydroxylation of vinorine to vomilene is caused by the vinorine hydroxylase enzyme. After formation of vomilene, two step reduction occurs. First, the indolenine bond is reduced by an NADPH enzyme to yield 1,2-dihydrovomilenene. The second step, reducing the 1,2-dihydrovomilenene to acetylnorajmaline by a 1,2-dihydrovomilenene reductase enzyme. The acetyl linkage of acetylnorajmaline is hydrolyzed by acetylesterase to yield norajmaline. Finally, the production of ajmaline by N-methyl transferase of a methyl group at the indole nitrogen of norajmaline occurs (Scheme 2) [229,230].

Scheme 2 — Biosynthesis of ajmaline indole alkaloids. (SB) Sarpagan bridge enzyme; polyneuridine aldehyde reductase (PNAE), vinorine synthase (VS), vinorine hydroxylase (VH), vomilenine reductase (VR), dihydrovomilenine reductase (DHVR) 17-O-acetyl-ajmalanesterase (AAE), norajmaline-N-methyltransferase (NMT).

It is noteworthy to mention that, sarpagine, ajmaline, and macroline alkaloids are biosynthetically similar or all derived from the same origin. Whereas, sarpagine can be converted into macroline by means of Michael addition [231], on the other hand macroline can be converted into sarpagine by through a retro-Michael reaction [231,232,233]. Similarly, some sarpagine-containing alkaloids can be converted into ajmalines under strong acidic conditions, which refers to the great similarity between them [233].

9. Conclusions and Future Prospectives

Natural products have an unprecedented molecular conformity with a diversity of functionalities. These characteristics enable them to produce biological effects, which validates the initial step for a drug lead. In recent years, the majority of new drugs reported have been natural or originated from natural sources. Alkaloids are an important source of drugs. It is noteworthy that, many alkaloids displaying fascinating molecular structures with diverse physiological and pharmacological effects have been isolated from plant families. The Apocynaceae family has been noted as a unique producer of biologically active natural metabolites such as vincristine, vinblastine, reserpine and yohimbine. This review is interested in discussing the metabolites produced from six genera belong to the family Apocynaceae. These six genera contain 400 species, which represent 20% of the Apocynaceae family. Only 30 species, which represent 7.5% of the total species of the six genera were studied. Chemical investigation of these genera led to the reporting of 444 MIAs, in the period between 2010 until December 2020, which were discussed in this review.

Figure 34 illustrates the number of compounds isolated from the six species; there are 157 (35.4%), 126 (28.4%), 66 (14.9%), 48 (10.8%), 27 (6.1%), and 20 (4.4 %), from Alstonia, Kopsia, Ervatamia, Tabernaemontana, Rhazya and Rauvolfia, respectively. We believe that the six genera are interesting candidate for further investigation. This record coincided with the data illustrated in Figure 35. For example, Alstonia scholaris is a species that belongs to the genus Alstonia that has produced the highest number of MIAs (71 compounds) and represents 45.2 % of the MITs identified from the same genus between 2010 and 2020. The second and third most interesting species are Kopsia officinalis and Kopsia pauciflora which produced 45 and 27 compounds, respectively. These two species represent 35.7% and 21.4% of the total compounds produced from the genus Kopsia. The fourth most interesting species belong to the genus Alstonia (Alstonia mairei), which produced 26 compounds and represents 16.5 % of the MITs identified from the genus Alstonia.

Percentage of reported compounds from the species.

It is interesting that the majority of compounds were isolated from twigs and leaves as illustrated in Figure 36. Additionally, the majority of the examined species belonging to the selected six genera were Chinese species and led to the identification of 360 compounds.

Number of compounds identified from different organs.

Figure 37 presents the biological activities of the compounds. The prominent activity was cytotoxicity followed by anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. Thus, these compounds could be a source of anticancer drugs.

Number of compounds versus biological activities.

The family of terpene indole alkaloids has been discovered for over a century. There are numbers of total syntheses studies of these intricate scaffolds have been achieved. Additionally, several reviews and book chapters, as well as the references therein, are interested in the synthetic efforts have been reported.
