Abstract
Seven alkaloids including five undescribed ones (1a/1b, 2, 3 and 5) were obtained from the leaves of Isatis indigotica Fortune. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of compounds 1a, 1b, 3 and 5 were determined by comparison of the experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Subsequently, the neuroprotective effects of all the isolates against H2O2-induced injury in SH-SY5Y cells were evaluated in vitro by MTT assay. Moreover, Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining was performed, while the activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT and GSH-Px) for compounds 1a and 1b were measured.
