Abstract
Four new alkaloids, nonialkaloids A–D (1–4) and six known analogues (5–10) were isolated from the noni juice. Among the new compounds, 1 and 2 are indole alkaloids with a seven-membered fused N-heterocyclic ring, 3 and 4 are quaternary ammonium derivatives. The structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and MS analysis, while the absolute configurations of the stereogenic carbons were established based on quantum-chemical electronic circular dichroism calculations or the modified Mosher's method. All the isolates were tested for α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Compounds 1 and 3 displayed potent inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase with the IC50 values of 413.7 and 364.4 μM, respectively.
